INTELLECTUAL TEST OF NATIONS.

SO Tar as the general ability of the
people of a nation to read and write is
proof of their superior enlighten-
ment. the Americans have no rivals
in all the world. AS readers we lead
all nations. We are 42.OO0,OOO. The
population of England, Scotland, Wales
and Ireland is 33,0O0,O00; of France,
$4,000 900, of Germany, 100000. In
1870 there were published in the
United States 574 daily 1927 weekly
and 1902 other papers and periodicals.
In 1877 the figures were; dailies, 100;
weeklies, 622l; all others, lOl4; total,
1914. England has but 2252, Germany
but 1885, France but 1859, and Italy
but 935. The total for the four ma
tions, embracing an aggregate popu-
latiOn of 1877 100000. is but 6,731. or
l ,2l3 less than supplies the American
population of 42.OO0,O00. The distri-
button of our daily and weekly papers
among the several States is instruc-
tive. They are not by any means
apportiOned according to population,
though New York is always first. 1t
appears that New York has 81 dailies.
Pennsylvania comes next. with 70;
Illinois third, with Al; and curiously
enough California fourth. with 43. In
that State of less than $4,000 of the
European race they have 4 more daily
papers than Ohio, with her 5000, 900,
Is more than Massachusetts or Indiana
II more than Missouri, 20 more than
Iowa. as many lacking ones as Wis
consin. Virginia and Georgia combined
and more than eight times as many as
either Minnesota, Delaware, or
Oregon. If then. the reading of cur
rent publications is an irrefragable
test Of the superior instruction of a
community, generally, the population
of California stands at the summit of
modern civilization. SO says a Cali
fornia Exchange.
