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

Runs High at Gathering
Night School Pupils?
r Coming Campaign.
1 A il *
ami iwo omer persons lo he selected
by principal and trustees.
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.
