"and urged to see the editor per
sonally, explain the plan to him,
and arrange for him separately
by weeks, with the date of the
publication of each, the lessons
to be published each week.
7. The County Superinten
dent and teachers, in co-operation
with the school committee, the
various community organizations
and others interested, are urged
to arrange some social entertain
ments in connection with the
Moonlight Schools, participated
in by the pupils and by other
citizens, to add to the interest
and happiness of the pupils, and
to afford an opportunity for all
to get together and for an ex
pression of interest and encour
agement from outsiders. The
pupils of these schools should be
made to feel at home front the
fust, and also to feel that they
t are a part of the community in
whom the other part of the com
m unity are deeply interested.
8. November has been de
signated as Moonlight School
Month in ortn Carolina because
that seemed to be the most con
venient month for the majority
of the counties of the State. If,
however, some other month is
more convenient for your county,
and the roads are in good condi
tion, select that month. Be
sure, however, to select a month
when the weather is fikely to be
pleasant and the roads in good
condition. During November or
such other month as may be
selected, concentrate public in
terest and effort upon this one
work of teaching the adults of
your county to read and Write.
Hally to the work your news
paper, all organizations that have
pledged their aid and all other
agencies that can be enlisted for
service. Have the papers full of
it every week. See that they
are furnished with the facts and
the news about the schools.
Publish before the schools open
the number, but not the names,
of adult illiterates by school dis
tricts. Publish each week the
number, but not the names, of
those enrolled in each school.
As soon as possible, for the en
couragement of others, publish
trom week to week the number,
SCHOOLS
and, by their permission, the
names of those that have learned
to read and write and cipher.
Most of this news can be supplied
weekly through the news letter
from each school, and should al
so be reported to the County
Superintendent by the teacher.
The Superintendent and the
teachers should keep in close
touch with the papers and see
that the weekly material is
promptly supplied.
9. Superintendents are urged
to call a joint meeting of the
County Teachers' Association
and the County Committee on
Community Service, consisting
of the County Superintendent,
the County Farm Demonstration
Agent, the Home Demonstration
Agents, the President or Secre
tary of the County Farmers'
Union, editors of the county
newspapers, the mayor of the
county-seat, one representative
each of the Junior Order and of
the Women's Clubs of the coun
ty, two weeks before the begin
ning of Moonlight School Month
in the county, to ascertain the
facts about the adult illiteracy of
the county by districts as report
ed by superintendent and teach
ers, and to complete the organi
zation and plans for pushing the
campaign and the work for its
elimination. A suggested pro
gram for this meeting will be
found on this page.
10. The program for Com
munity Service Day and North
Carolina Day this year, now in
the press, centers around the
Moonlight School and the elim
ination of illiteracy in every
school district as the one most
important community service to
be concentrated upon this year
It is suggested that this day be
observed in each county on the
Friday before the opening of the
Moonlight Schools, and that on
that day at each sehoolhouse all
the details for opening and suc
cessfully conducting the school
be completed.
11. Because of their onerous
duties in the day schools and
their inadequate salaries, I did
not feel that I ought to ask or
that the community ought to ex
pect of the public school teachers
more than one month's extra
service at night without compen
sation. It is hoped and expect
ed, however, that before the
close of the month sufficient in
terest will be- aroused and snfK
cient success attained in many of
the Moonlight Schools tcrwar
rant extending, the term, and
that citizens and interested or
ganizations and orders in the
community will arrange for such
extension and for payment of the
teacher or some other person to
continue the school, and also to
provide, where feasible, instruc
tion for other adults, besides
illiterates, desiring additional in
struction. -
Very truly yours,
J. Y.JOYNER,
State Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
