ILLITERACY GREATER IN TIE RURAL
DISTRICTS THAN IN THE CITIES.

The Census Office has issued a
preliminary report on illiteracY
among men of voting age in city and
country districts in the census year
1900. The report includes under the
term ''i!literate" those who can Meth
er read nor write and also a small
number who can read but cannot
write. In the United States, as a
whole, excluding Alaska and Aawaii,
the male population at least 81 years
of age and living in cities having at
least $4,000 inhabitants, was $685.
GA, Of whom 339,225, or 6 per cent,
were reported as illiterate. In the
rest of the country the number of
men voting was 15,248,655, of whom
1,949,247, or ID per cent, we're report
ed as illiterate. These figures indi-
cate that i~lliteracy among adult males
is less than half as prevalent in the
large cities as it is In the rest of the
United States. The difference, the re-
port says, is due largely to the fact
that the urban population of the
try is massed in the Northern and
Western States and ~illiteracy is less
frequent there than in other parts of
the country.
The report says: GAS the difference
between the large cities and the rest
of the country in the Northern States
is affected by the presence in the cities
of large numbers of illiterate immi-
grants, so in the Southern States the
same difference may be affected by the
presence of the negro population.
Among the native whites the differ
ences between the population of large
cities in the North and in the South
in the matter of illiteracy are compar-
atively slight, but In the smaller cities
and rural districts of the South a con-
siderable per cent of the adult popu-
lation have not acquired the elements
of book education"
