'Now there is a national illiteracy commission and all of the larger national clubs have formed like commissions and are ‘working for the complete abolishment of illiteracy.

Burleigh county has 15¢ and of this number 83 live in Bismarck, The motto chosen for North Dakota in this campaign against illiteracy is “No Illiteracy in North Dakota in 1924.” The aim of the National education pr m is the- removal of illiteracy, rs, Stewart then told of the stages of advancement in the United States, namely, abplishment of slavery, wo- an suffrage granted, prohibition and thé next stepu is expected to be the ccmplete eradication of illiteracy.

Wonderful results have been obtained throughout Kentucky through the use of the Moonlight schools and she is confident that results might be as sat- isfactory here through the use of the night school.
