Grace At t* 1 1 ill had been tukeu ll! New Year's day with pneumonia, and althbugb nearly a month now since Bhe huH beem allowed out of doors, she still .remained pale and weak, her atrength returning very slowly. "No. dear," finally reajwuded Mrs. Merrill, "i think we had better stay at home today. Get that sweater you starred for Jack Kills, before you were taken slek and see if you can *vei ilUisll It."; ".lack will never wear thai sweat* er," emphatleally declared Grace.

"Now, Grace," said her mother, "'you know you like Jack Kills even though you did give him his walking papers Just because he seut you 4* bunch of Violets for a birthday Klft." "Well, mother," vnswerfcd Grace, "it was not ns much as I exjM'cted from .lack, but I had tuy inind made- up long before my, birthday to tell him I intended fo dev?t<* all my tlrat4 to lted Cross work." Two o'clock found them packed In the crowd, enthusiastically cheering, as the hundreds and hundreds of both men antl women passed by. To Grace's surprise If wan three o'clock before she realized it. Suddenly her thoughts were turned from her tired feeliugs. What on earth was that? Could she be mistaken V No, there It was again. Someone's hand no soft and warm gently pressing hers. Therei It pressed her hand again. The color which had once been ab sent. from Grace's cheeks now dyed them a crimson red as. she mischiev ously pressed hack on the hand now tightly clasping her own. Finally she released her hand, thinking it best to find out to whom the hund belonged tlul& had so affectionately been press ing hers. < refill ly turning, there Jo her over whelming shr prise stood Jat'k Kills.

"Quite well now, Jack," feplled Grace. , ' v.' ? ; j "Yes," spoke up her mother, "quite well now | hut this Is her first trip to Boston since Now Year's.

"And now," added Mrs. Merrill. "I think we had better start for home." "In my auto," said Jack. "If we can IVfike our way out of this crowd. It will only fake a few minutes to get It here. 1 will phone the garage and have them send It right along." In a short while ail three were com fortably settled in Jack's big car speeding homeward.

Hona* tor Hoke Smith* of Georgia, has intro duced a bill in the Senate "to promote the, education of illiterates, of persons unabl'6 to understand and use the Kng lish language, and other resident per sons of foreign birth." and the sanio measure has been introduced in the House by Hon. William 13. Backhead, of Alabama. The introduction of this important bill means a great deal to the South, which, because of its negroes and !.<mntain whites,' has long borne a reputation for illiteracy out of propor- i tion to that of tho rest of the coun- I try. Just what steps will be immedi ately taken as fj*e result of the* passage of the education of illiterates bill ^ at Washington cfinnot be stated at this time, but, certainly, practical nfceas ures will he put into operation for the establishment of srhools in both rural districts and. Cities. Other organizations besides that ut f lie government are -at work on the -rtine problfem-Mj)U> establishment Of schools in the heart of tenement dis tricts nntl rural coiiiMiiiniHcn i.eing_ matter of first importance with all of them. One uf the most significant movements of the times in this con nection is that of the (*ent?nary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, because that denomination will expend within the next five years over $3,000,000 among the uneducated classes in the Southern and Wefttewi States. The church is to raise a fund of $35,000,000 in an eight-day drive in April, the financial campaign being a part of the Centenary Celebration of the denomination. The money is be ing raised with a view to putting the work of the church pn a business basis, the church considering its duty to the illiterates here in America to be among the matters of first importance which it should undertake. A survey has been made and the result of the campaign will be the apportionment of $3,000,000 among the various illiterate population as follows: Mountain pop illation, $750, 000; immigrant, $900,000; negroes. $500,000; Indians, $150 000;' cotton mill population, $150,000;, Chris tian literature for all of them. $100,000. With the definite 'Step undertaken at Washington, with one denomination already completing its' plans for fur thering the work among them, and with other churches and organizations getting ready to join hands in their behalf, it is more than possible that the illiterates of the South are in a fair way to soon become educated citi zens of the f" nited States. MFTHODiST LEADERS RETURN FROM FRANCE Three prominent leaders of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, have just landed in America, after spending two months in Europe, where they went for the purpose of invest! gating actual conditions and deciding upon a program for the expenditure of *5.000, 0O0, which sum will be allotted to European upbuilding by the Cnte nary Commission of the denomination The three returning church leaders are Bishop James Atkins.
