The discovery has been made by the
census Office that whereas. of white
native born children of native parents
between the ages of 10 years and II
years in the United States, 95.6 per
cent are able to read and write. 99.1
per cent. Of the native white children
Of foreign born parents are able to
read and write. This difference comes
from the fact that the great proportion
Of foreign born parents live in the
North and East where the public
school system is best developed and
free schools within the reach of all.
The illiterary of the children of native
born parents is largely in the South
among the negroes and the class
known as poor whites" 1t is a graft
flying and encouraging fact that
parents of foreign birth who them
selves had few If any advantages of
education are SO quick to take advan-
tage of the priceless boon of our free
school system and allow their children
TO get a better start in life. 1t is a
pity that all American born parents do
not feel equally appreciative of the
opportunity offered their children.

issue on the local option high license
question had been taken away from
him because of the plank in the re-

run as a rebuke to the corrupt meth
DDS of the Mccullough campaign.
Mr.. Clement stated that he was in
the hands of his followers and would
do as they thought best. 1t was de-
cided to drop the matter for the time
and to consider later what action
would be taken.
