GOOD WORK OF ADULT SCHOOL.
lteport of Cluton Teacher- Shows
Much Interest is Displayed by Pit
pits.
\That a great deal of Interest Is tak
en in the adult schools now being con
ducted in various mill villages and ru
ral districts under the supervision of
the state department of education is
indicated by letters written by the
teachers and ,printed in the University
Weekly of Columbia. One of these let
ters, nwritten by 'Mrs. -Beatrice Sloan,
teacher in the Lydia '1111 school,
shows the great interest taken by the
adtilt scholars there. Letters from all
over the state where these schools
have becn inaugurated indicale a sim
lia' interest on the part of adult pu
pils who hitherto have been entirely
barred from the beneiits of even a i-ud
imentary education.
Tihe letter of irs. V'tster, which will
doubtless be read with much interest,
was as follows:
"Tihe adult school opened here in
September with forty-two pupils. Dur
ing the first month the average attend
ance was -thirty-eight. Since that
time the enrollment has reached
eighty-two with an average attendance
of seventy.
"In the morning I go into the niill
and teach. The overseers help me a
great deal with the twork. All but tiwo
of the employees Can now write their
n11ames.
"Duiring the afternoons I go into
the homes and teach the 'loIsetkeep
ers. One woman wrote her first let
ter to her mother about six weeks ago.
Slit had not heard from her mother
in five years Iecause she could not
write to let her know where she was.
It is needless to say that she was hap
Py when she received an answer to
her letter.
"There are tiwo night classes. One
class meets on -M1onday, 'Wednesday
and Friday nights, the other on Tues
day hind Thursday nights.
"Very few of the people have moved
away. Several have moved to the vil
lage in order to go -to school.
"We hope everybody In the village
Ca write 1(antI read betore .iune."
