Miss Claudia Kuykcndall, who has

illiteracy campaign in Arkansas, is do
ing some splendid work in the north
ern counties. Characteristic report
was recently sent from Imboden and
is given in full as follows:
81 organized an afternoon school at
Lindsey Spur, one room school with
an excellent teacher. she helped me
with the community survey. We found
% illiterates, the largest number
have ever met and talked with in one
rural community. She walks about
two miles because there is not a home
with accommodations for an outsider
She wanted to have an afternoon
school; of course, | was willing for
one any time during the day. We had
II enrolled, including seven men, and
expect to have more each day. The
thing that made me glad was that 1--WE
of the men are working on the county
road and they quit work at 4 100 O'Clock
and come to school. She has school
each day and at the close of the two
weeks will begin to teach at night"
An Opportunity School teacher at
Minturn, writing about her experiences
reports that one man had enrolled
who could neither read nor write. He
had lived under the sound Of the school
bell for three years but had not sent
his children. The next day after he
enrolled, he started his two SONS to
school, one 20 and one Is, anl promis
ed to send the third the following
week. There are 81 in the district
who can neither read nor write and
only three in the district who have
reached the eighth grade. All of them
are deeply interested, however, in the
work being done by the Opportunity
School teachers, and the next few years
should see the complete eradication Of
illiteracy in that sectiOE.

undisturbed slumber.
OH What tortures - what agony

where eczema and other skin diseases
hold power and drive away rest and
peaceful slumber. For under the
cover of darkness like crafty beings

S.S.S. is the established conqueror

drives these ever disturbing elements
from your system-elements that

salves, lotions, washes, all to no pur-
