some statistics as to Children In Wake
County who Cannot Read and Write.
County Superintendent Of Public
Schools, W. G. Clements, is planning
for teachers institutes to be held in
the various school districts. TIE new
school law requires that one Of these
meetings of teachers shall be held In
each township each year.
Early in the year he sent to the
teachers in the county circular let
ter asking for the number of children
In each district between the ages of II
and Il years who cannot read and
write. Replies have been received
from seventy-seven of the eighty
three white school districts, and
these returns show that there are 22O
white boys and girls over II and I'M
der Il years who cannot read and
write; Sc Of the 50 colored districts
show 1896 negro children in q similar
condition.
There are 9,742 white children of
the school ags-6 to q years-and
8,779 negroes, which would indicate
that that the percentage OF illiteracy
among the negroes Is double that
among the whites.
Raleigh township is not included
in these reports.
Barton's Creek made the poorest
showing of any township for the
white children. In one school dis
trict there are "a 'llliterate white

for something for the county. Twep-
one thousand dollars interest will be
paid to somebody for nothing, and
then the county must redeem the

must spend thirty-five thousand dol.

IN HE MOVEMENT ON FOOT
among The Jews to reassembIe
a their scattered race in Pales-
tine, which is advocated by some of
the most eminent Hebrews both in
America and in Europe, is most
strenuously opposed by the Ameri-
can Israelite. The editor of that iii
fiuential Jewish paper believes that
not only viii no practical benefit ac-
erue to his race by a return to the
Holy Land, but that conditions there
are such as to make it the height Of
folly for them to seriously consider
.ueh a plan. lie says:
"Only a small portion of Palestine
Is fit for agriculture, and this por.
ton Is fully occupied and has been
for centuries While it is possible
that by extensive irrigating canals
the area of tillable soil might be
increased, it is certain that this
would require long time and an inn
mense outlay Of money, of which the
entire e2,000,O0O the Zionists are try
ing to get into their colonial fund
would only be part. To encourage
further emigration to Palestine is
now worse than a folly; it has be-
come a crime"
The question of whether Palestine
IS capable of supporting a large in
crease of population is one which
the Zionists viii do well to consider
carefully before proceeding with
their plans. But it really seems very
doubtful if the dream of a return to
the Holy Land VIII ever be accom-
plished. During the days when the
Jews were outcasts and were being
prosecuted on all sides their only
hope for an escape from their woes
was in a return to the land of their
forefathe1s and the rebuilding of the
Jewish nation.
Today all this is changed. Jewish
persecution has practically ceased.
Everywhere the worth of these re-
markable people Is recognized. They
are meeting with more than the ordi-
nary measure Of success, not only in
commerce, but in literature, in the
professions and IN the fine arts.
They have ceased to be disconnected
with their surroundings, and, while
maintaining their own form of re-
ligion, live in peace and harmony
with Gentiles. Consequently the
only motive to incite a return 10
Palestine is sentiment. and it is
doubtful if this. alone will prove suf
acient to overcome the many practi-
cal reasons for remaining as they are.

4 CCORDING to a CORE spondent
~ of the New York Sun. F.esi-
dent Roosevelt has more south
ern blood in his veins than has flowed
in those of any other presidort since
John Tyler occupied the Waite
House.
President ROosevelt's mother, the
correspondent afiirms, was Miss Mar.
tina Bulloch, a native Of Georgia
and the daughter Of an old southern
family. Her great-grandfather, Ar
chibald Bulloch, was president of
the provincial congress of Georges
in 1775 and 1915. Theodore Roose-
welt, ST., met her during a visit to
Georgia, and after several years Of
courtship they were married.
IT thus happens that though born
IN the north, President Roosevelt Is,
in rdality. half southerner. Coming
at . 4ime when the bitterness of the

A COSTLY MUNICIPAL PLANT.

THE CAUSE of municipal owner
ship has received a severe set
back IN Toledo. After owning
and operating a gas plant for ton
years, the city has found it profit
able to lease it to private owners
The plant cost the city 100000 in
bonds, and more than half that
amount in interest. and it has been
found that the rental Will not be
sufficient to pay the interest on the
debt incurred when the experiment
was begun. The Toledo Bee thus
explains tie deplorable state of af-
fairs:
incidentally, many of the men
who shouted loudest for the gas
plant got their start in life out of
their connection with it, and having
become taxpayers, managed to bob
up and help urge the council to lease
the plant to a private corporation
so as to save them taxes"
With this costly experience it will
probably be "a long time before the
citizens of Toledo viii again make
the experiment of municipal owner
ship. Yet the lesson their experience
teaches is plainly not that municipal
ownership is a bad thing, but that,
like all other matters pertaining to
popular government it can never be
7ede a success where the people
neglect to eject honest officiels. With
capable and honest city officials
there Is no reason why a lighting
plant should not be as economically
built and operated By a city as by
a private corporation.

For the most part the race was

It may be, too. that the English

always claimed that the light winds
that so often prevail on the Atlantic
coast during tie racing season have
been heavy har,dicaps to their boats,
