Quoting An- drew Fleming West, dean of the grad- uate school of Princeton university of the extent of illiteracy in the United States; “The revelations regarding the 4,000,000 men enlisted for service in the world war show that nearly one- fourth of them were illiterate in the primitive, simple sense of the word. In a statement made by Mr. O'Brien, in a recent report, he says, “It is fair to assuine that this represents a cross- section of the whole population and that approximately one-fourth of the people of the United States are il- literate.” If we add another fourth that lyinz nearest to the illiterate belt, persons of slight or Insuflicient educ tion we shall have one-half of the whole population of the land either illiterate or very insufficiently educat- ed No matter where the blame belongs for this, the peril to free institutions is so great that our duty to remedy promptly the situation by a thorough primary education is imperative. It annot safely be neglected much long- er. It is in this half of the population the agitator of discontent finds his opportunity.

Men Played Every Day for 28 Years But Have Not Determined Cham- pionship—Not Many Years Left. N. Y. Sept. men in this town have been pla oes every day for 28 years a ay it will take at least ten mor years to determne which pait of them excels in the game. George W. Cooper, who is 94 years old and never felt more chipper, is the senior of the quartet. He always opposes Zophar M. Woodhull, 84 vears old. They select their partners from two comparative youngsters, Howard Stanford 72, and Elsworth Benjamin, 69. Mr. Cooper used to be a bank pres- ident and the grey-haired group gathered in his office for their game every afternoon, but business began to interfere with dominoes, so he gave up banking about ten years ago. Since then the game has gone on in the office of a mill and Mr. Cooper, who also was once a farmer and then country sheriff, takes a little time off now and then to attend he directors’ meetings at the bank.
