Miss Elisabeth Kelly, commissioner of adult illiter ates. In addressing th council of th Noroh Carolina Federation of Worn en's' clubs, tonight arced mora In dlrldual and personal attention to pupUs la schools of ths stats. "Thou Shalt aot thoughtlessly nor Ignorantly destroy any child's faith In himself i nor shalt thou fall. If pos sible, to restore to every man ths lost faith of his childhood," Hiss K.lly asserted. . "Mould this commandment be takes seriously by all who hare any thin to do with training children, there would come quick chances in the attitude of Instructors, and as rapidly as possible would the whole school system be readjusted to meet ..the -real aeed t the child. - "It would seem at present that par ents; teachers and all concerned, are leagued together la a mighty effort to tarn out quantities of children from Tarlous erodes of schools, and to, mark this product standard, or otherwise according to its conform ity to required ratines. This group ing and grading of children accord ing to age and also might be all right were, they mere objects; and ths ap proved method of Instruction by means of prescribed courses for each grade might be all right were chil dren, all eadowed with ths same de gree or kind of .Intellect - "The greatest factor In ths educa tion of any child la that which gives him eonftdenos in his own ability to add to the great or small store of useful knowledge which 1 already bis." she stated. " Almost any child oan do something well, and he will find joy In the doing as hs realises himself master of ths undertaking. Increased confidence comes to him as he progresses by means of more difficult taeks. until hs finally estsbllshes himself ss a worth while contributor to the needs of his day and generation. "On the other hand, a child may fail to do some required task, and with repeated failures will come the loss of confidence which may easily result In a hedged-ln or ruined after life. Possibly It Is Just here that so msny fall and have fallen by the wsyslde of prescribed learning. Tasks distasteful and beyond reach of children are given to them and their ability to do all things Is Judged by their success or failure In doing these prescribed things. This results In pro motion or demotion In school grades, not according to the child's ability, but according to ths degree with which his knowledge conforms to that expected of him by his teacher. "After children hare mastered the tools of an education the mechanics of the first three grades, there Is lit tle use for a teacher other than as consulting architect, as the child builds his own life.- Aid and advlcs and help of any kind Is all right up to the point where the child may mis take legitimate aid for a substitution tor his own efforts Here Is ths acid test that sets apart ths teacher without alloy, i - . "it Is so much easier to prescribe and work out tasks for a child thsn It Is to help him find his peculiar task and stand by patiently and help fully while he ds It.

Ellsworth. ML D, meat and guldanoa as he tacklss the Job. "But yea ask 'What does ail this have to do with 'Education and Il literacy? Moat adult Illiterates either never had an opportunity to master the tools of an education, or alee their faith In themselves was In some way lost before they, bad mastered these tools. V 'Restoring their lost faith la the most dltfloult as well as the most glorious task In . oonueotlon with tesohlhg adult Illiterates. Adult Illit erates la North Carolina are .differ ent from those not considered Illiter ate only Insofar as the Illiterates ability to Inform himself Is Con cerned. "There are, roughly speaking, only three olasses of people: the Ignorant, the inforir-d aad the Intelligent," she continued. - "Manifestly, our Illiterate, cltlseas are found In eaoh of tbese Classes Just as are found our so-called educated oltlsens. Ths main difference Is -that ths Illiterate has an almost insurmountable handicap to overcome In his effort to advancs along any line of enterprise.' Lack of opportunity in schools and a further lack of Individual guidance are large ly responsible for adult Illiteracy. ''Supplying schools and Individual Instruction for sdult Illiterates is North Carolina's tardy but sincere effort to furnish whst thess did not hsvs In their youth. Fortunately, Illiterates are never too old to learn. Of course, prevention Is much better than remedies. For this reason, let It be repeated again and again that the way to prevent Illiteracy Is to con tinue to strsngthen the elementary schools and to study constantly ths question of' tsachlng children until eaoh child, as hs grows to manhood, may. not repent the saying that now comes most oftsn from ths lips of adult Illiterates. 'I never had a chance.'" she said. ' Couple Married In Oklahoma to Make Lenoir Their Home "teptetal ts Batty Men) Lenoir. Doc. T.
