the illiteracy commission of South
Carolina is about to launch a cam

State. The campaign will bo inaugurated
at Columbia December lb-It'
when there will be an institute fo! |
county leaders and teachers of night
schools. An effort will be made to
have a State-wide campaign for night
schools for illiteracy opened.
The illiteracy commission, composed
of Patterson Wardlaw. of the University
of South Carolina, as chairman;
Miss Will 1 .oil Cray, of Uau-:
reus, as field worker, and J. E.
Swearingen, State Superintendent of 1
Hduca ion; .Mrs. .). L. Coker, Miss
Mabel Montgomery, George D. {
Drown. Dr. S. 11. Edmunds ami Dr. C. i
E Hurls, are sponsoring the movement.

movement and to use all ligitimate
means of propaganda and agitation.
The committee desires at least one
representative from each of the counties
to come to Columbia for institute
and each county to got whole-heartedly
into the work of stamping out
illiteracy through the medium of the
night school. Each teacher volunteering
will he paid one dollar a
night for her services, and, in a good
many of the counties, the Women's
Federation of Clubs has subscribe !
another dollar. The work necessarily
must he a patriotic one, unless the
General Ass< mbly makes a specific
appropriation for it.

Numerous complaints are being !
made to the railroad commission of j
the use of profane and obscene language
over the telephone. Because
of thitt the commission adopted the
following resolution:
"Be it resolved, That the railroad
commission of South Carolina is of
tho opinion that any party using!
profane or obscene language overt
any telephone line within the State <
of South Carolina would justify the J
telephone company in discontinuing j
the service of said party until the
matter could be investgiated and othai

It is now time for you to file your
applications for Rural Graded Aid.
The law requires thai a copy of your
daily schedule he filed with your application.
The schedules must be
such that they can be approved by the
County and State Superintendents ol
Education. Blanks for these schedules
or programs were sent out soon
after the schools reopened. These
should have been returned but very
few have come in yet. We know that
chaotic conditions on account of the
influenza have prevented many teachers
from sending theirs in. We hoped
to have these programs in the office
by the first of December and had
planned to carry the application
blanks to the schools together with
suggestions about the programs after
they had been inspected in this office.
The preparing of these applications
and other important office work
makes it impossible for us to visit
the schools as we had planned. For
several days we have been mailing
these applications. The conditions in
I the different districts are so varied
that it takes an individual letter in
each case. This calls for so much
work that it will he several days before
all of the blanks are mailed but
the last will he mailed in time to
reach you before the end of this
week. If you have not received
yours by that time be sure to write
the office. Many letters from this
office have been lost recently in the
mails. If the program from your
school has not been sent in please do
not wait for thi.s blank but send the
program without delay.
In a two-teacher school asking for
$200 the enrollment must be 50 before
this appliction is made. In a
three-teacher school asking for $.'100
the enrollment must be 75. These
programs and the applications with
all information correctly given must
be in the office of the County Superintendent
of Education not later
than Saturday, December 21. The
earlier, the better. The blank applications
are sent to the principal.
The first page can be filled in this
office. The information on t.ho so;
ond page concerning the building and
the current year must be furnished
by the teacher and the trustees but
the data concerning last year's statistics
can also be supplied by this
office. The third page is to be filled
by the principal. The three trustees
must sign and give their addresses
on the fourth page. This must b?
attended to at once or it will be impossible
to get State Aid for your
school from the Rural Graded Fund.
I)o not forget that every teacher
should enroll and teach at least 2">
pupils. Every teacher's certificate
must be registered in this office before
application can be made to the
State Superintendent. We are extremely
sorry that we cannot visit
the schools at this time and talk to
the teachers and the trustees about
this matter. If there is anything
about these applications that you
need further information on, be sure
to write, phone, or come for it.
Yours truly,
?M. J. Bullock,
Co. Supt. of Education.
