Dear Mister Editor:
I see tlpt there has been
Campbel Folk School to teach
read.
/
a school established at the John C.
folks to teach other folks who can't
I wonder just how many people realize Just how Important this
is. Ihere is probably more folks in the southeast who can't read and
write than in any ottaer part of the nation.
For this reason, 1 leel that the folks of Cherokee County should
do aii tney can to heip out wtui trns tine project.
Can you imagine just how rougn it must be not to be able to
read 01 write. You couldn't read toe Bible or your newspaper. It
would oe nard to get along.
Nowadays, there ain't near as many folks what can't read as
there was because ot the fine soooals we have now, but this ain't
enough. There are hundreds of folks who didn't get to go to school
when tljey were children and now they aren't able to get to schools.
That's what makes this undertaking sucl) a wonderful pro
ject.
If everyone In this section of the county would lend a helping
band and do all possibly to t)elp this project along, then Hie whole
section would profit in more ways than oae.
The bettor educated a people, the better the people live.
Sincerely,
I. D. Clare
