lLLlTERACY IN THE
COUNTRY.

Three days ago the Census Onico
at Washington issued a preliminary
report on illitcracy among men of a
voting age in the city and country
districts OF the United States. The
report is based on the census Of 1900.
Under ;hc term "illitorate" are in
cludcd those who can neither read
nor write and also a small number
who can only read.
Take cities OF at least %. 600 M
habiiants in the whole United States
including Alaska and Hawaii. the
statistician finds that OF the men II
years ola e per cent. were reported
illiteraie. Taking ihc rest Of tho
coultry. which includes small cities
towns, villages and rural precincts.
the number 81 illiterate men 2Iis ID
per cent Of the population. The
difference. the report says. is due
largely 60 the fact that the urban
population Of the country is msssed
In the Northern and Western States
and illitefacy is less frequent than ia
other parts Of the country. notably
the South.
City life offers many more induce
men,s and facilities for education
than country life. Longer school
terms, better teachers. better school
equipments and more externals 70 ex-
cite ambition are found IN the cities
However the concerted Southern
effort toward better school laws, and
laws preventing child labor IN iacto.
iies, viii in few years have a per-
ccpiably strong influence in decreas-
ing this sectional percentage Of H.
