County supt. H. a, Hanson and
Prof. n. L. Vol are to be conn
mended for the efforts they are max
ing to establish night schools in the
various parts Of tho county, and to
otherwise assist in Stamping out IL
literacy. The experiment has been
going on in Linton. for some time,
and now other neighborhoods are try
ing out the night schools. Educa-
ton is the one important thing in the
life Of each individual. Education
means ability, self-reliance and relief
from much Of the drudgery Of life.
1t means better and healthier public
sentiment, and more patriotism and
loyalty.
States Attorney Coventry, too, is
entitled to great credit for his efforts
in enforcing the compulsory school
laws. When he took over the Office
Of states attorney two years ago, he
found that his predecessor had been
playing politics with this important
matter and had been granting permits
to keep children out Of school by the
wholesale. Mr.. Coventry took q
firm stand in the matter. He did
away with most Of these permits, and
