ONE SCHOOL 1)01 NO WELI Hut the Leaders in the Work Wish to Establish at Least Live Others in Different Harts of County. (i$> .los. a. cowoks.i At three o'clock 11 x Sunday af I ternoon in the baptist church of the' mill village there will be held an enthusiastic rellgious-educational meeting in the interest of the night school woriv* in Lancaster county with special reference, however, to the night school already being successfully operated three nights of each week in the mill school. It is the purpose of the night school illiteracy commission in the county to organize in different sections of the county as soon as practicable at least five community night schools for adult illiterates, but at present the school in the mill village is the only one which has been formally organized and set on foot. This i hool has been running two weeks very ssfully and with | line progress, it is thought, on the part of the men. women end children who of necessity work in the mil! during tlx* day and cannot at-: tend tlx* day school, but it is be-, lieved that oven greater interest! than is at present manifested by the; mill people generally should be taken in this educational night work Those men and women of the community who really stand in most need of the educational advantages offered by the school have not yet presented themselves for enrollment. The meeting Sunday afternoon will he the means of presenting to the large audience the most attractive and advantageous educational features of the night schools pn posed to be operated from now on, it is thought, several months of each year in every county of South Carolina. As an unusually interesting | .urn iiisirun i v?* program tor the mooting Sunday afternoon has boon arranged it is thought that a great number of interested folk not only from the mill village but from the town as well will he pre ent to hearl the speaker ami to take p.irt in tin soming and other ev , i ,es of the lion r.
