Compares Intelligence of the Citizen
ship of Two Territories.
From Governor Hagerman's letter
in the Arizona Star, Dec. 20, 1905.
One of the greatest objections by
Arizonians to uniting their fortunes
with ours is that the degree of
illiteracy in New Mexico is hight
is a fact that stares us in the face
one which any one can ascertain by
looking at statistics, one which we
should fully admit and realize and
do our utmost to remedy and which
we are making rapid strides In rem
edying.
In 1900 our population was 1885,
80, according to that census The to-
tai population over ten years of age
was 141,22,0 of whom 46,971 or 33.2
per cent were illiterate Now In Ari-
zona the total population at the same
census was 122,931. OF these s4.147
were over ten years of age and 20
per cent Of them illiterate The diff
ference is not great 1t shows that
in this as in many other respects
the two territories have the same
problems to face and the same diff
ficulties to overcome. Between 1890
and 1900 illiteracy in New Mexico
decreased from 44.5 per cent to 1872
per cent, whereas in Arizona it In
creased from 23.4 to 80 per cent in
states which have been states for
long time in which the percentage of
i1literacy is much greater than in
New Mexico or Arizona and in which
that percentage instead of growing
rapidly less as it is sure to now in
both territories, is likely to remain
almost stationary. That both territor-
les are very active in the way of edu-
cation which will correct these condi-
tons is shown by the fact that in
1900 the total school attendance in
Arizona was 14,451, and in New
Mexico 26,905, proportions to the re-
spectiye total populations somewhat
