AllVIIU \-#l VUl J iUU' On Saturday?Enthusiasm Featured by Work of 1 Plans Announced foi One need not be afraid of exag-1 aeration to say that the largest and most enthusiastic educational rally ever held in Horry county was that held in the courthouse on Saturday, February IS. Call I'or the meeting ' had been Issued by County S merintendent of Education 10. C. Allen, .Miss Wil Lou Gray, Field Agent of the South Carolina ComniHsion On Adult Illiteracy; and the ^!oirv; y Chamber of Commerce, which ha aeii/e charge of the "write-your-name" movement, in Horry county. To this call there I was a response in attendance which filled 'the seating capacity of the courthouse to the extent that the "standing room only" sign was hung put early. The entire tone of the meeting was spirited, buoyant, optimistic. Teachers and trustes came from practically every school district in the county .and there was a generous sprinkling of interested citizens who had no connection with the school'forces of the county. The prevailing sentiment was that illiteracy in Horry county must go and those present pledged their ungrudging support to the work. The meeting was preliminary to the launching of the drive to teach every man and woman in the county to sign his or her own name. It was called to arouse interest and in that purpose it succeeded .admirably. Definite information as to the plan to l>e followed was given out. In brief, the principal features of this are: Community meetings in every schoolhouse on Friday evening, February 24, at 8 o'clock. Speakers from Conway, Loris, Aynor and other points will attend each of these meetings and present the matter to the public. Opening of schools in every schoolhouse on Monday, February 27. These schools will meet for three nights, Monday, February 27; Tuesday, February 28, and Wednesday, March 1. Committees from each school to secure attendance of those who wish to learn to write their names will r< nsist of the following: Principal of the school, chairman, three trustees #****#***##*****#*###*?*** f lie * ACKNOWLEDGEMENT * * * * The page on which this article * * appears was prepared by the Conway Chamber of Commerce, * which has active charge of the * * "write-your-name" movement in $ ; * Horry county.

Men who have doubted the value ( f night schools lor adults rad their doubts swept r.w iv at SaturdayV meeting. They saw with their cwn eyes and heard with their own ears what has been done during the two weeks that adult schools have been conducted. Pupils from Maple, Red Bluff, Seven-Mile,'-uid Burroughs night schools read and wrote and performed mathematical calculations in a way to put to shame those who profess to know thene things. Mr. Allen of the Seven-Mile school, Mr. Long of the Maple school, Mrs. Mishoe of the Seven-Mile school and other adult pupil?; made short talks in which they fold of 4 ho great value to them of the instruction offered. Everybody endorsed Mr. Allen's statement that the movement, like his famous setting goose, ought to "spread itself." The "write-vour-name" movement, which will require only three nights of instruction will in no wav conflict wi'h the operation of adult' schools which are now being conducted and which will occupy much more than three nights before the course is e>-"led. The purpose of this movement is to reach those who, for one reason or another, cannot attend the adult school, but who wish to end forever the making1 of marks when their names are signed. It was a big day for the adult school pupils. It was" their day and they made the most of it. Songs and school yells and speeches and demonstrations of ability to write and read and spell and calculate followed each other convincingly and in rapid succession. Four rank outsiders were sandwiched into the program for short spoches, but they were hardly noticed and did but little harm. These were H. L. Ruck, D. A. Spjvey, IT. Kemper Cook and M. A. Wright. It was the day of the night school pupils and these regular spellbinders were tolerated and allowed to speak, but that was all. Pupils of the Burroughs high school under the leadership of Miss Huntley, a teacher, sang several appropriate and spirited selections.
