No enterprise is better named than the Opportunity school und no enterprise has opened the door of opportunity more willingly than tho one who conceived tho idea and put the school Into operation. Ilocauso we had failed as citizens to give the youth a chance to attend school and learn the necessary requirements of a common school education, it was imperative that adults be given the privilege of interpreting the printed page and thus Wil Lou (Iray paved the way for thousands who have learned and have returned thanks for her work. tl costs so little in actual money to provide this opportunity that one is almost amazed to know that the coffers of the Opportunity school are not filled and that gludly by the privileged ones of this state?which , would bp a wonderful Christlike gesture. It Is encouraging to kuow that a great many who have attended the school are now helping with the expenses of others and are expressing the greatest gratitude for what was affordod them. I visited the first Opportunity school and have through the years watched the progress made year after year and the ever increasing Interest of the civic and religious organizations contributing to this good work. Ono has but to learn of the benefits derived from a comparatively small outlay to become a regular and generous coutlrbutor. Many civic groups look forward to sendnlg pupils each year and record with pride the number they have helped to a fuller and better life. It will not be long until another Opportunity school opens at Clenujon college. Let's all "pitch in" and make it the best yet. The more, the happier with Wll Lou. Every dollar you send will be Just that much reading, writing and arithmetic to those we neglected In youth. Many boys were able to serve in the army and navy Just because they were found and given an opportunity to learn before Uncle Sam called them> There might be others Just waiting for your gift and your encouragement that they might also serve their country. Let none be lost to the cause. Get in touch with Wil Lou Gray, department of education, Columbia. While we are thinking about thoso who lost an opportunity of learning In their youth, we must consider the causes which have contributed to this neglect. Many things have prevented children from attending tho schools which this state provided, but oftentimes- the main reason was be- ' cause the ^ parents did not feel the j necessity of learning. In many Instances, lack of food, and clothing hindered a child from taking advantage of school. In this way thousands of dollars were literally lost every year because of absentees. A few years ago the legislature, in its wisdom, passed an' attendance law which provided each county with a supervisor whose duty it would be to investigate every instance of lack of school attendance, find out the contributing causes and if possible rectify whatever* prevented attendance. In many counties these teachers have done a wonderful Job and increased attendance far more than U national average increase. Tfiey h<xve provided clothing, books, food and transportatfon where needed? , this being done in co-operation with other state agencies. But one thing has been lacking these several years the school attendance law has been operative?a supervisor in the department of education. Everything requires supervision in order to standardize and equalize the requirements in the many counties. The job ought to be done on the same footing in every county, and this cannot be accomplished without a supervisor. Each summer a Clinic should be held in order to check up on the progress made, the problems encountered, the necessariee to be furnished, the improvements made in attitude, etc. This would require the services of one person as a head. So we must see to it that the officer is added to the department of education at the next session of the legislature. It's our law! The interested citizens of this state worked long and hard for this one measuer. Let's improve It by adding Supervision!

Lewis, in which you ask "What has become of Maybank?" I am enclosing copy of the Congressional Record of April 29, in which is inserted a speech which I made on the floor of the Senate in regard to strikes. I have been using my best efforts to help in this matter and have left no stone unturned. I 8ha.ll continue my efforts to stop strikes of any kind, whether In mines or other industries, which will affect our nation at this time.
