Authorship Settled of Phrase Attrib-

"Glittering generalities' is term
frequently employed in speech and

authorship Of the phrase has been at.
tributed to nearly all the famous ora.

These claims, and some Of them have
been made personal, are ell knocked
out by the decision of no less in au-

tributed to Edward Everett Hale, by
another to Wendell Phillips; and by
others, whose interest in the disput
was aroused to john J. ingalls,, Rufus

one silver enthusiast to William 3

The question promised to resolve
itself into one of such burning inter.

now retired, after long service o.
the Ohio Supreme Court bench.
The history of the expression is In.
teresting. Dicknan was student
at Yale and heard one of the fiery
anti.slavery speeches of Wendell
Phillips. Though agreeing with the
lecturer on the issue, Dickman in his
student way expressed dislike to the
logic employed IN settling the slav-
cry question. So he wrote a long
criticism of the speech, which was
printed in the New Haven Palladium,
and summed up mis- opini.n of PHI.

NORTH CAROLINA TAKING Ac.
TIVE STEPS FOR EDUCATION
--lLLlTERAcY Is DE-
80. cREAsINe.
THE PERCENTAGE OF IGNORANCE
HAS IEssENEo RAPIDLY IN
THE LAST FEW YEARS.

The dark spot that hangs over tke
South is the record OF .iliteracy In
many Of the States. When the VA
rious States that sought to eliminate
the negro from politics determined on
the educational test us the one by
which the franchises should be
gagged, 1t was a simple barrier to the
colored man and an effect:.e one.
The public school early found ia
yor In the North and In New England.
It spread over the West as the settler
went from the Eastern States. until
now the West has fewer illiterates
than any other section of the globe.
In much of South Dakota. some of
Kansas. Nebraska and The mountain
States a white person OF voting age
who cannot read and write is a rarity
among the native population. In
some communities of the South there
are as large a proportion as one.fourth
of the native white voters who can.
not read.
The condition has aroused the pub.
lie leaders to action, and there Is no
place in the United States now whers
more determined effort is being made
for education than In the South. The
result is that In the last ffteen years
school houses have multiplied, illit-
eracy has lessened, and what Is OF
most consequence, the sentiment for
more schools Is becoming general
In most of the South at least 20
per cent OF the negroes OF the voting
age are unable to read IN much OF
the South so per cent. or more cannot
read. But change is coming. Where
there was "a per cent. Of illiterate
native whites In North Carolina
among the population at ten years OF
age in 1890, there was but 10 per
cent. of illiterates In 1900. Every
Southern State shows the same rapid
progress in the right direction. The
same gain is shown by thu negro. In
1890, Of the colored population In
fourteen of the Southern States, mol
more than so per cent. could read.
In 1900 there were but four States
where aalf the colored population
could not read. This includes those
Of ten years OF age and older. Louis.
lana has the darkest page in these
records. In 1890, OF Louisiana's col
ored population above the age OF ten
years, II per cent. could not read. Ten
years later this was cut down to C2
per cent. Alabama. Georgia and
South Carolina still have record Of
a majority Of negroes that cannot
read, but these States are all making
rapid Roadway toward education.
The task is a tremendous one. The
younger generation is going to
school. We're all Of the younger ones
educated, the per centage OF Hitter.
acy would still stand high in these
States, because the older persons who
cannot read continue to help swell the
per centage Of ignorance, and give Il
wrong idea Of the number of young
persons who are really profiting by
school advantages.
The growth of the public school has
been SO pronounced In all the South
in the last few years that IL the cen
sus were to count those between the
ages of ten and txyenty-fye years vvho
