I ut that :i :>h 11 had been dovised wh \ ovi rv man and women in tho state could learn how t'o read and write. I'ho solution was found it the night schoolwhoro for at 'ea^t three mghts >. weak groups of workers could meet and studv. She to'd of tlie efforts which was now being made hy manv to i?*et- an education and paid a high tribute to the night school pupil-, saying that they were following tho example of men like Wilson and Kdison, who were really America's great est niglu >cheo! pupils, for they wore students all tho time, and were not willing to waste their nights in idleness. She stated that last year over 11,000 pupils were enrolled in the night schools of the Stale; that 2,000 of this number did not miss a ses sion. The ages of those pupil:-, ranged from, fourteen to eightv-four. the la*t age showing that one never gets too old to leani. To illustrate that one never oan he so busy that some time can't he found to study, she told of a woman in Pickens county who learned to read and write in one month. notwithstanding the fact that she had fourteen children to look after. The plan of work was explained in detail. The schools are to me?t three times a week and are oriranizecl especially to meet the needs of people who have been to school very little or never. The course of studv embraces the three R's, the alphabet sounds of letters, word recognition reading, writing, letter writing, making out checks, hills, four fundamental operations in arithmetic, fraction.' and spelling. At least once in even two weeks a community meeting wil he held when outside speakers wil he invited to discuss some topic o general interest. It is planned tha one of these meetings shall be uivoi to the subject. "Mow to Fight tin Boll Weevil," while one program wil he given to bolter health.

Alter a few introductory remarks, each teacher told of the proirress which had been made in her local community toward the organization of i\ school. Where the work had been given any pubicity., the teachers reported marked interest. All the schools were making preparations to I open on Monday night, the 2.3rd, and i wwe planning to teach three nights a week. After the teachers' reports came a detailed discussion of methods of teaching adults. In connection with this, the books and materials used i were demonstrated and explained. , This phase of education has pro-j , grossed so rapidly that special texts rave been prepared and no longer does the ridult have to struggle with the books used hv the children.

During Mm period since it- ostab'ishment three or four years ago ever eleven ib. inand iVien and women have boon taught to lead and write and giv\ r. a knowledge of tlr fundamentals of arithmetic. This was done b\ niglu schools fostered by the Commission. During one year the Commission -elected Pickens County for intensive work in the eradication <>f illiteracy As a result Pickens County Ii;i^ now the smallest percentage of illiteracy of all the counties in South Carolina. The commission has n w selected Horry to duplicate the work done in Pickens. For several weeks nigh' schools will be conducted and efforts will be made to enroll every man ami woman in the County who cannot read and write. The aim wili be to enable every man and woman in th. County to learn to sign liis or her name, to read English and to mak. his or her own calculations. a Every one knows that there are those in our county who have ampK intelligence, who have plenty of gray matter in their skulls, but who, fcr lack of opportunity for which they were not responsible, must rely on others for most of their information. All that they want is a chance t'> learn. The State now plans to give them this chance. And good ci 11 I " Por II Bes :: y All made at tl^ J | know what is in tl i m ^ ing ^he quality of !

W. Ambrose, teacher of the class, in brief prefatory remarks before the presentation of tin* speaker of the morning, acnUainted the members with t)!ans of the State Department of' !Mucat<on for immediate and well ionsidere<' efforts to teach every nvia and woman in the county to re.?

Mr. Ambrose. pjv.ented a liteiacy map of 'be state, prepare 1 bv the extension department of the University of South Carolina, which showed that in the matter of literacy Horry occunies a verv unenviable position.

Mr. Scarborough made the point thai to I so illiterate was had enough. hut to he unashamed of one's iPiter.^cy was far worse. M was a reflection on the county, he said, to have grown r on and women sinning their names hy marks to deeds and other legal inst rumen ts. All hope of progress for the county in a commercial and agricultural way, said Mr. Searborough, was wrapped up in edue,Mt.ion*>I advancement. The county would not rise above the level of intelligence of its citizen*. The remarks of Mr. Ambrose and Mr. Scarborough apparently met with the hearty indorsement of the ninetysix men who were present. Members, of the class were requested to report to the countv superintendent of education, E. C. Allen, names of any men or women of their acquaintance who were unable to read and write, with a view to enrolling these men and women in classes to be formed.
