ADULT ILLITERACY.

On sailing from an Atlantic port with detach-
ment OF American Soldiers during the World War
private asked friend tC address twelve envelopes
for him to his mother, telling him that they would
last year.
He asked if he were going to write to his
mother only once a month.
II cannot" said the boy, write at all I cannot
read, but / have told my mother that l would mail
dollar bill TO her every month, and that so long
as the money came she might know that was
alive"
The seective draft brought to the colors 100000
who could neither read nor write.
We appalled, at the adult iliteracy in the
United States
A woman school teacher in Kentucky Mrs. Cora
Wilson Stewart set about educate iliterate adults
in her county. She started what is known as the
moonlight Schools
She called together the other teachers in the
county, many of them young women whose salaries
probably relatively as lean as the earnings Of
most of the mountain people.
They voted TO carry out her plan. Each teacher
held her school open on moonlight nights for the
benefit Of adults.
Feuds were SO prevalent in the county that the
mountaineers were afraid to come out except on
moonlight nights. Pupils in the day schools were
urged to ask their parents to come to the night
schools.
The ieuds were abandoned Nearly every grown
person in the county was taught to read and write
The work was carried out the entire state of
Kentucky, following the success OF Mrs. Stewards
county.
AS result OF this idea born in the soul of
Kentucky mountain woman the South has done more
in five years to eradicate iteracy than the North
has accomplished in three centuries according to Dr.
A. {, Biship Boston educator

DO WE NEED A COMMISSION?

There is a foot to have the next
legislature authorize additional appeals for

No doubt this is very desirable purpose, but we
need an additional commission?
We have noticed that courts nearly always have
their dockets right up to the minute while others with
no greater volume OF business always way behind
Our experience teaches that the principal reason
court gets behind with its work the datory

PUBLIC OPINION

Editor, Daily Ardmoreite,
Ardmore, Okla,
Dear SIR
As a sportsman | wish to thank you
for the article you published in todays
paper in regards to Protective League
being needed to save the game in the
county. / also wish to thank the man
that wrote the article
1 am not writing with the intention
of having 1t put into print as my writ
ing ability is very limited, but | am
just writing to let you know how the
game laws are being violated cut here
in the southwest part of the county,
| l will try and site a few cases that
| have seen this fall
| The Sunday before quail season open
ed / saw three hunters (not sports
men), and they didn't seem to have
any fear of the several cars that stop
ped to watch the slaughter.
| l go near Orr and Reck every Sunday
to hunt rabbits and ducks and can al
ways see several parties shooting quail
| I know several people here that hunt
without hunting license, they laughed
at me when l got mins as they say
they hunt all the time and they never
have been asked to show one so why
spend s1.25?
| Yesterday u fellow left hero in the
morning with two dogs and returned
last evening with twenty two quails.
II saw the birds and counted them,)
Would 1t be possible to be a deputy
game warden in this county without
pay, l would have greater sport bring
ing in Game Hog and hearing him
tell 1t to the judge in the morning than
to bring in full bag Of game.
l think q good plan would be to give
commissions without pay to real sports
men and not publish their names and
then when they saw the law being vlo-
lated they would have the authority to
get the man, but as It is, how are we
to know mans name so We can re.
port him.
If you care to publish any part Of this
letter please do not print my name.
Yours for better enforcement of game
laws.
