No Illiteracy in South Carolina in
1820 |a Aim of S. C. S. I. Associa?
tion.
The South Carolina School Improve
ment Association has appointed No
V!fan>p[ Uth as "No Illiteracy Day" In
TltlrNltaW, anq letters have been sent"
to county officials, college presidents,
etc., throughout the State to this ef?
fect, but it is impossible for any
movement to succeed without help
from the press.
In 1910 one-fourth of the popula?
tion of South Carolina could not write
their names. By 1930 we want not
one illiterate in the State.
Kentucky taught 40,000 men a:\l
.'omen to read and write in two
years; 18 other States have started a
similar fight against ignorance. Shall
not South Carolina keep up with other
States?
Of pur 1G6 mills, 98 hod night
schools last year, with over 5,000 en?
rollment. Besides these wero a num?
ber of city and rural night schools.
This was a good start, hut If wo are
to have no illiterates by 1920, when
the next census is taken, we must do
better.
The press in other States has been
generous and faithful in assistance.
Will you do the same for South Car?
olina? Urge teachers, advanced pu?
pils, and all educated people to
teach at least one illiterate, politi?
cians to vote an additional tax for the
the maintenance of night schools,
ministers to preach on the subject
. November 18th, jailors to start schools
i for their prisoners, and arouse the
public in genernl.
Will you for the next three years
keep this subjest so before the public
that we need no longer be ashamed of
our State? Success depends largely
on your co-operation. When we suc?
ceed in 1920, will your paper have a
right to claim its just share of the
glory? E. Julia Seiden,

THK COUNTY HEALTH OFFICER
Tourney Hospital Staff Endorses Ac?
tion of County Medical Association
??Would Have Executive Commit?
tee of Association as County Board
of Health.
Editor Daily Rem:
?Jfhe.attending ntnff nf.tne TnnmcE.
Hospital at a meeting endorsed the
action of the Sumter County Medical
Association, in recommending a full
time county health officer who shall
be a physician trained in sanitation.
These gentlemen went a step further
and recommended that the County
Medical Association should he the
County Board of Health, through an
executive committee composed of
three or four physicians, who live in
different sections of the county, and
so through residence and service are
familiar with the health conditions of
each section. The precedent has been
established for many years, success?
fully, by the State of South Carolina,
for the State Board of Health, is the
South Carolina State Medical Associa?
tion, through its executive committee
of seven members, from the districts
of the State.
The advantage of this plan Is first
lack of expense and secondly, effi?
ciency, for the proper helmsman will
guide this county boat of health.
This Is separate and distinct from
the City Board of Health, whose mu?
nicipal problems of health are dif?
ferent. The County Health officer
would then he subject to the orders of
the executive committee of health
appointed by the Sumter County Med?
ical Association. This would not he
experimental, for the State for many
yeat-B has proved its worth. . *
