ILLITERACY FIGHT ; FOR THIS SUMMER The campaign for & literate State being conducted by the State department of education and the illiteracy commission will be continued with increased vigor during the summer. The two outstanding feature of the work will be the organization of "Write-Your-Name Classes' and of "Lay-by" schools; the first, for the purpose of teaching every voter to sign his name to the Democratic club rolls and the second, for the purpose of teaching at least 10,000 men and women to read and write. The "Lay-by" schools in which over 5,000 adults were enrolled last year will be reorganized in August, which has been selected as the time best suited for the adults because then many of the best teachers in the state can be secured for one month's teaching and because that is the vacation month for the majority of the people..
