Few indeed, ever are perma- nently salvaged. : ik The first educational step needed to stamp out this creeping horror is to squash the Vicious falsehood,’ {perpetuated since De Quincy’s’time by a’ certain ‘school of writers and by imaginative perverts, that the juice:-of ;the. poppy’ inspires: pleasant ‘dreams ; that it opens mysterious doors Uf life closed to the normal un-drugged mind.

It is not confined to particular statement: It has been said that illiteracy is a southern problem. The facts do not warrant that conclu- sion. , Georgia has 389,000 illiterates, but New York has 406,000, Alabama, has 352,000 while Pennsylvania has, 354,000. Louisiana has 352,- 000, Mississippi- 290,000 and Texas 282,000, but Mlinois has 168,000, Ohio 124,000 and: New Jer- sey 113,000. Even Massachusetts has 141,000 and ‘undertakes to partially solve her illiteracy problem by depriving them. ofthe right to; vote. It is thot by’ many'that illiteracy is a race question. But it is more than that. There are over 1,000,000 more~-white illiterates in: the: United States than illiterate negroes, : The'extent of illiteracy in the United States is so great as to amount not only, to a national dis. grace*but a national menace as.well. Accord-e: ing tothe census of 1910 there were in the Unit ed States 5,500,000 persons 10 years of age arid ‘over who could not read or write any language. In addition, theré were 3,500,000 who could liot speak, read or write English.

Our ‘alarming condition Avas graphically dis- closed by the examination of the draft regis- trants during the late war. The surgeon gen- eral’s report. showed that of the mem called to service between the ages of 21 and $i nearly 25 per cent were practically illiterate. The nation’s defense is thus doubly-impaired. First, because one fourth of the sons of America called to'serve are incapacitated for efficient service by being 80 ignorant and illiterate that they.cannot even understand the orders given them; and, second, because in a free country its safety:is jeopard- ized when its voters cannot read the ballots they east and only know how to vote as they are told. The economic loss is tremendous, Secretary Lane estimated the annual loss ‘to the nation be- cause of illiteracy alone at $825,000,000. The di- reetor of the bureau of mines states 620,000 are foreigners, and that 460,000. of these cannot speak. Eviglish. He stetes that the removal of illiterates among the niiners would save annual- ly 1,000 lives and. 150,000 injuries. , Investiga- tion has shown that one-half the\industrial acei- dents are the result. of ignorance, because.the workers cannot read the danger warnings or une derstand the orders given.

The con- test continues 2!1 summer. : The total number of birds listed by the Scout members now is 53. One} or two boys have listed'as many as 70 birds but all were not seen this year ,and those not seen’ this. year cannot count in the contest. The tot& number of birds listed by the members of the Methodist troop is 47.. It is a requirement that the Scout have someone with him when he lists a bird, and some of the boys have listed a larger number than Is shown on their records, because they have listed on a “private account” birds they could not list on the Scout account’ because no one was with them when they. saw the birds. Arthur Nathan, of the Methodist troop, has listed 41 birds, all seen sinca March 24 The list reveals that some-of the most beautiful of the native American birds’ have been found ‘by the boys in out of the way places near the city. ‘His list follows: English Sparrow, Robin, Bronzed Grackle, (Northern .
