for popular opinion a quick expression, and
which give the popular will ready ard effec-
tive activity. The evils of unintelligent citi-
zenship in a free State were well understood
by Washington who in his memorable farewell
address warned the country of the dangers
likely 10 rise from the exercise of political
power by uniformed classes. He enunciated
a sound and weighty doctrine of political phi
losophy in his declaration that Gin proportion
as the structure of a government gives force to
public opinion it is essential that public opin-
ion should be enlightened" To the same effect
was Madison's declaration that ga well-in-
structed people alone can be permanently
free people" 1t need scarcely be pointed out
that the reasons which gave weight to these
doctrines of the fathers of the Republic have
gained greatly in force since they were first
announced. The participation of the people
in the work of government has greatly in
creased during the interval. The intervening
period has witnessed characterization of our
institutions. Many restrictions upon the ex-
ercise Of the elective franchise which were in
existence in Washington's time have since been
swept away. Popular opinion is also more
readily concentrated and organized now than
it was then The need of having popular opin-
ion enlightend and informed has, of course.
greatly increased in consequence. The re-
spective States are primarily responsible for
providing the education which is necessary to
make their citizens useful members of free
and progressive State. Are the statistics which
we have noticed 10 be taken as proving that
they, or certain Of them, are incapable of pro-
viding this education? If SO. there is no alter
native but that the task must be taken in hand
| by the general government. The illiteracy
which is so threatening to the best interests Of
the country must in some way be eradicated.-

IIlitcracy in the United States.

A document of much more than general in
terest has been presented for public consider
atien in the circular relating to illiteracy in
the United States, recently issued by the Blu
reau of Education. In this circular are COL
lected comparative statistics of illiteracy in
the years 1870 and 1880 The tables given
indicate that in the decade included between
those years there has been an absolute increase
in the number of illiterate persons of ten or
more years ole, while there has been decrease,
though slight, in the percentage of those per-
sons to the whole population. Thus of the
whole number of enumerated persons of ten OF
more years old, in 1870, i,52s,Osi, or Is per
cent, were returned as unable TO read, while
5,65e, l4i, or 20 percent, were unable to write
Of the same class of persons 1928, 49,, or 1874
per cent, were returned as unable to read and
6,239,95S were returned as unable to write
Of white males OF voting age 74s,97O, or 8 per
cent. were returned as unable to write in 1870
The number of such persons unable to write in
1880 was ss6,659 or rs per cent OF the
whole number Of colored males of voting age
enumerated, in 1870 $40, III, or so per cent,
were returned as unable to write. The mum
Der of such persons had increased to 1922 Isl
IN 1850, while the percentage to the whole
number of colored male adults had decreased
to 6s7 per cent, Much the greatest proper
tion Of iliteracy was and is to be found ID the
Southern States, in which, of the whole mum
Der of persons enumerated Of ten or more years
old, ~ per cent. were returned as unable to
write in 1870 and sc per cent were SO classed
Ill 1850. Of the white males of voting age emu
Inerated in those States ISL per cent were re-
turned as unable to write in 1870 and II 3 per
cent, in $780, OF the colored male population
of voting age in the southern States, SIS per
cent. were returned as unable to write in 1870
and T6 per cent. in 1850.
These are very suggestive figures. They
seem to demonstrate that the agencies at pres.
cut directed toward the eradication of illiteracy
in large section of the country are made
quate. This is a serious matter, aud one which
we need scarcely say concerns the whole coun-
try. In this country, more than in almost any
other, there is need that the citizens should be
intelligent This is SO by reason of the pecu-
liarities Of our political system, which secure

brilliantly, and her husband, a lawyer
