"The year was one of very evident
progress." declared tie* report, which

"This is the system which has

TO PUSH THE WORK
OF NIGHT SCHOOLS
(iroat Mass Meeting to He Held
in Second Haptist Church
Sunday Afternoon.
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.
The meeting \> ill be presided over
