We are pleased to see that Messrs.
Bradley & Co., of the Embreeville Iron
Works, are about to increase their facili-
ties for the production of from ten t o
twenty tons of metal per aday. By. the
wise Legislation of Congress which pro-
tects our great American products. all
such enterprises mnst become
tive, and the time is not far distant when
East Tennessee will eclipse in wealth, by
the development of her great mineral de-
posits, one OF the Richest States of our
Union. When that time arrives our farm
ers will find a home market for their pro-
ducts and need no longer depend upon
distant or foreign consumption. We hope
capitalists everywhere will assist in bring

we hope will reap the reward due their
energy and enterprise, and we wish them
the success they justly merit.

CURIOUS

John Eaton, jr. U. S. Commissioner of
Education in his forthcoming report says:
An investigation in regard to the rela-
ton of postal and revenue receipts and
numbers of patents issued, presents the
following facts:
THE number of patents issued to the
inhabitants of arkansas was one to every
37,267 persons, while in Connecticut
there was one patent issued to every 966
persons. In Arkansas there are sixteen
adults unable to write to every one humid
red nhabitants in Connecticut the re are
four adults unable to write to every one
hundred inhabitants. In Arkansas the
receipts of internal reqenue are twenty
six cents and nine mills per capita in
Connecticut the receipts are two dollars
and fifty four cents per capita. In Ark
ansas there resulted during the last year
to the Post Office Department a dead loss
of over forty nine cents for each inhabit>
ant of the State, a loss in amount almost
double the internal revenue receipts from
the State In Connecticut there accrued
a net profit to the Post Office Department
of twenty six cents per eapttu. II Flori-
da there are twenty three adults unlble
to write to every one hundred inhabitants.
In that State one patent was issued to ev-
cry 1921 inhabitants, or only six in abe
entire State. The internal revenue col
lected amounted to sixty-four cents per
capita (of the entire population.) From
that State the Post Office Department
suffered a loss of ninety-two cents per cup
itu. Contrast this with California, where
the number oe patents issued was one to
every 2,i22 inhabitants, and the amount
Of internal revenue COLLECTED was six dol
lars and ~forty-three cents per capita
There was a lass to the Post Office De-
partment of one dollar and a half per cap
itt, but this deficit is accounted for in part
by the long lines of transportation, to the
cost of which the thinly-settled interview
ing section do not greatly contribute.
But in California there are only -four
adults unable to write to every one humid
red of the inhabitants.
In Tennessee twelve adults are unable
to read and write to every one hundred of
the inhabitants, and the State pays inter
nal revenue at the rate of sixty nine cents
per capita, while Ohio in which there are
four illiterate adults to every one hundred
inhabitants, pays FIVE dollars and sixty
eight cents internal revenue per capita.
In Massachusetts, where there are three
adult illiterate persons out of every one
hundred inhabitants, the excess of post
Office receipt, above expenditure was over
$735,O00.
Whatever other course would require
consideration in a close and 6nal examina-
ton, the relation of education to revenue,
patents, and postal service is apparent.

Crime and Ignorance.

Official documents are In general not
the most entertaining of reading, but the
recent report of Commissioner Eaton, of
the Bureau of Education, is very valuable
in respect as showing the origin and the
fostering of most of the!crimethatl prevades
a country. There could not be a more
conclusive support of the argument that
education and morality go hand in hand
than the figures which he gives. Compar-
ing them with the careful research Of the
New England States, The Boston Jour
nal finds certain conclusions indicate be
yond all question. For instance. it ap-
pears that ut least eighty per cent, of the
crime of New England is committed by
those who nave no education. or none suf-
icient to serve them a valuable purpose in
life. In 1928 twenty-eight per cent. of
all prisoners in the country were unable
to read or write. About one-third of the
crime of the country is committed by from
three to seven per cent. of the population
while actually less than one-6fth of one
per cent, is committed by those who are
educated. 1t is not, however, the educa-
ton of the school house only that is valua-
BILE in this respect. for it is found that
from eighty to ninety per cent. of criminals
have never learned ANY trade or mastered
any skilled labor. Moreover, it is estab-
| lished that not far from seventy-fve per
cent. of foreign extraction; that from
eighty to ninety per cent. of our criminals
connect their vicious courses with intem-
perance and that in all Juvenile reforma-
tories ninety-fve per cent. of the offend
- z-.1 c~~,, .llo .rnnrant and vioIans
homes.
Here we have the whole story of our
criminal population and our dangerous
classes. The sketch is merely in outline
10 charcoal, if we may say so-and
needs shadings and determinations which
cannot be supplied in the present state Of
statistics. The several conditions of crime
noted above blend with each to some ex'
tent. 1t is, for example, no fault of 8
man that he is a foreigner in this country
and that fact of itself does not predispose
him to misconduct, for Commissioner
Eaton observes that ''the immigrant COM
ing hither with education, either in schools
or labor, does not oetake himself t.
crime" But it does too often happier
that the immigrant is both Ignorant and
inclined to i~ntemperance' in which case he
is subject to less restraining influences
than the native who is equally wanting il
intelligence and sobriety. Again, ignor
ance panders to intemperance, while in
Temperance is VIGOROUSLY the parent o
ignorance. without regard, however. t.
these distinctions. it is perfectly apparent

The sweetest, the most clinging affec-

of unkindness, as the delicate rings and
tendrils of the vine are agitated by the
~faintest air that blows in summer. An
unkind word from one beloved often draws
blood from many a heart which would
