They have opposed ali reconstruc- tive measures proposed by the Republican admin-} istration, but have offered nothing in their place. Their party left the wreckage which this admin-} istration had to clear away before the real work of | rehabilitation could begin. Yet in no instance did any Democratic leader lend his hand in assisting the clearing away of the wo2ckage To the contrary, Democratic leaders in both branches of Congress have done their utmost to prevent the wreckage from being cleared away. They have done their utmost to prevent the coun- try from returning to normal and prosperous con- ditions. They have done their utmost to keep business from reviving.

There are four illiterates aged 16 to 20 in our rural districts to one in our urban distric and of voting age, 21 years and over, the number of illiterates in rural districts is twice the number in city or urban dis- tricts. Of those whose parents are “native” there jare more than four illiterates in rural communities to one in urban communities. Now is the time to -fight illiteracy by every available means. The fight can be waged in two directions. First, by a more rigid enforcement of our compulsory school attendance laws. Less than three fourths o four children of school age are tually attending school. The laws should be made more stringent in some instances, and all laws now on the statute books should haye rigid enforce- ment. This will cut off the crop of illiterates as they grow up. The second direction of effort in all communities should be towards the eradication of adult illiterates, who have passed beyond school age. Many organizations are co-operating in this work. Chambers of commerce, women’s and men’s clubs, industrial concerns, and various civic or- | ganizations can unite in each community to find |the adult illiterates and interest them in attending jnight schools and availing themselves of all pos- sible agencies for learning. Mrs. Cora Wilson Stewart eradicated illiteracy in one of the most remote counties of the mountains of Kentucky by | getting the adults to go to night schools. This has since been done in many places. Materials are available whereby adults can teach themselves. |The time is ripe for all patriotic citizens to stimu- late adult illiterates in every possible way to learn {zo read and write a They have done their utmost to keep labor un- employed : They have done their utmost to keep agriculture What Is Happiness?
