, tho illiterates were not only pu j
lis. Grown up nien ami wotted
in numbers from 25 to 60 would
attend ciioli of these scbou'0 and
ask for instruction in other sub
jects in public school course, es
pecially English grammar, arith
metic, .geography, and history,
the last two. being especially
popular with these people- who
could read and write but little.
Luckily teachers Were plentiful
and the instruction so unexpec
tedly asked fo" Ws gladly giv
en to large Glasses of met. and
women who were anxious to learn
more about the elementary piin-
ciplesof aiithmeMo and the great
events of the State .and national
historv. Such great interest was
shown by these men and women
that their Moonlight School is to
be followed by weekly neighbor
hood meetings to be held io the.
school house- At these uve.ines
there will be short lessons and
t'ilks on popular topics
in his
tory and current events, e'e
mentary nracticel arithmetic, do
mcstiq science and every day
problems on the farm. In this
way the people will .'earn many
thing of value and general in
formation aboui their country,
their home work, and their bus
iness problems. The old men
and women are not only going to
learn the new tricks of today
bnt they are' already learning
them, Lf t's keep the Moonlight
School idea alive and by lecture
and well directed suggestions
teach the' people as long as they
will come out to be taught.
