THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1922 ILLITERACY, HOW TO COMBAT IT, [$ DISCUSSED Same Spirit That Prevailed Among Our Men In Time of | «5 War, Myst Prevail Now Poy Comma | MRS. THORBERG’S ADDRESS| ‘Fargo, N. D., March 16.—The same spirit that prevails among men in war, of volunteering, of going willing- ly. where sent, must> prevail in the present. campaign against ‘illiteracy, Mrs. .E. A. Thorberg of Bismarck told the memberse of the North Da- kota Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution at their third annual meeting here today. Mrs. Thorberg concluded her address with a challenge to the descendants of the men who. won independence for the United States that the greatest work for them in this reconstruction per- iod was to do anything they might; be called upon to do in the illiteracy! campaign, “Why should we be alarnied at all over these figures?” Mrs. Thorberg | quastioned after she had presented the illiteracy statistics of the nation, of the army and of North Dakota. “Why indeed because of the illiterate and near illiterate twenty-five per cent of our population cannot share properly in our national life. They form the drag’ on labor, contribute largely to} our criminal classes, fill our state in- stitutions as defectives. They are the} examples of radical movements, spread disdase, corrupt the ballot, limit commerce and earning power, hamper religion, break up our nation- al home lifé. Seventy per cent of our industrial accidents occur to persons} requiring services of an interpreter in presenting claims. these people are unable to read q dan- ger sign or understand ordinary safe- ty instructions. A quarter of a million dollars a day is a moderate estimate in the United States of the cost of the illiterate to industry in acci- dents alone. One can go on and on with figures to prove the need to ob- literate illiteracy. i “Now comes, the HOW to combat il- literacy.. Let us see that there. are| No more new recruits by compulsory | schog] laws and a truant officer to see that they are enforced. Raise the! standards of our school, make them} an interesting place. See that the students. are properly housed in schools with room for all. Raise the| standard of our teachers.” Mrs. Thorberg then explained the night schools, the moonlight schools of Kentucky, the night school work | in North Dakota of schools in manu-! facturing plants, during working | hours where the schools paid for} themselves by the larger output be- cause of working knowledge. - Volunteers Needed “The same spirit that prevails) among our men in time of war must! prevail in the illiteracy cdmpaign.”} Mrs. Thorberg continued. “‘Volunteer, | go where you are sent willingly, do| not give up until your purpose is car- ried out. If your charge becomes un- interested or more often discouraged, | try. a new avenue of approach. In/ talking with Misg Nielson, State Su- perintendent of Public Instruction, after her return from the Illiteracy Conference of the Northern and Mid- dle States, she told me that the sen-| timent there was that this was the| year to promote interest, arouse our- selves to action, to hunt the’ high- ways and byways for our material, then next year with a full program in force get to work in earnest. .Pub- -licity is needed, people are willing to; teach, who have not thought of it un-| til aroused.” \ | \ KNIGHTS TEMPLAR A regular conclave of Tancred Commandery No. 1, Knights Templar, will be held at the Masonic Temple Thursday even- ing, March 16, at. 7:30.

Talks on Plans ° For City Parks - Dr. H. O. Altnow. gave a splendid talk to tae members of the Mandan Rotary club yesterday outlining some of the aims of the Mandan Park Board.
