Moonlight Schools

Moonlight Schools: For The Emancipation Of Adult Illiterates is a book written by Cora Wilson Stewart and published in 1922. The book discusses the author's efforts to establish ""moonlight schools"" in rural Kentucky in the early 20th century. These schools were designed to teach illiterate adults how to read and write in the evenings, after they had finished their work for the day. Stewart, who was a school superintendent in Kentucky, recognized the need for adult education in the state, where many people had not had the opportunity to attend school as children. She believed that education was key to improving the lives of rural residents and helping them to become more involved in their communities. The book describes Stewart's experiences in setting up the moonlight schools, including the challenges she faced in convincing people to attend and the methods she used to teach illiterate adults. She also discusses the impact that the schools had on the students, their families, and the wider community. Moonlight Schools: For The Emancipation Of Adult Illiterates is an inspiring account of one woman's efforts to improve the lives of those around her through education. It offers a unique perspective on the history of adult education in the United States and highlights the importance of literacy in empowering individuals and communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
