Letter From Mr. Swearingen
: To the Public School Trustees:
Reading, writing, and arithmetic,
I the elements of the mother tongue, a
! fair knowledge of our country's his{tory
and government, and the fundu,
mentals of the laws of health are the
I birth-right of every American child,
and yet in our state over 276,00 children
have been denied this birth-right.
We rpgret this situation, therefore,
an effbrt is being made to remove
from our borders illiteracy. We are
coming to you, the recognized leaders
in your communities, to ask your active
cooperation in accomplishing
this task.
During the months of January and
February the teachers of the State
ait? to be urged to organize classes
for the purpose of teaching adults to
read and write. They can do little
without your hearty support. Please
see your teachers at once, pledge
your assistance and request them to
organize a class. Will you not help
them in the following ways:
1. Get every one in the communii
ty interested in the movement. Create
i such a public sentiment that no one
i will be willing to make a mark after I
the adult school term is over.
2. Call a meeting of the district j
board of trustees and, with the teach- j
ders, make out a aenniie pian 101 yuui
campaign.
3. Make a list of every person in
your district who cannot read and
( write, then pay a friendly visit to
these persons and urge them to at.
tend school or study in their homes.
4. Select one person for whom you
; will be responsible for getting in
school and, if necessary, give a few
. lessons to him.
I 5. Encourage the teacher by fur,
nishing a way to go to school and by
seeing that the building is well light,
ed and heated.
6. Offer several small prizes to
pupils who do the best work.
7. Show your interest by attending
school whenever possible.
1 The ability to read and write is
f fundamental if we are to help our
i people to independence and self re>
spect. The State is willing to pay for
the teaching if only some one will
see that the classes are organized and
i taught. Any assistance you will give
I the work will be appreciated,
i Yours truly,
i J, E, Swearingen,
State Superintendent of Education.

Supervisor of Adult Schools.

AMBASSADOR TO QUIT
Fletcher Terminates Eighteen Years
of Service
Washington. Jan. 27.?Henry P. j
Fletcher has resigned as United States
ambassador to Mexico to take effect
in the course of the next few weeks.
Those who know the reason for Mr.
Fletcher's decision say that he was
convinced that a continuation of the
efforts he has made during the four
years in which he has held this important
post to bring the Carranza i
government into accord with the
United States Government on the I
many irritating issues which have
arisen, involving the protection of
American lives and property rights
would be futile.
He terminates eighteen years of
sen-ice in the diplomatic branch of
the government with great regret and
without any particular plans for his
own future, but feels certain that he
can no longer be helpful in cultivating
proper relations with Mexico as
long as President Carranza remains
in control there.
Mr. Fletcher's resignation was not
hastily determined upon, and in fact,
last summer he sought to terminate
his relations with the State Department,
but owing to the state of public
business and" the illness of some
of the higher officials of the department,
he was induced to remain in
Washington to act as adviser to the
secretary in matters relating not
only to Mexico, but to all Latin-American
affairs, for which work he was
peculiarly fitted by reason of his long
