National Iliiteracy.

An advance outline of contents of Census Bulletin 26, "Illiteracy in the United States" has been received and gives some suggestive figures. show ing where the light and dark spots are and offering reasons for improvement shown in sections. It is shown that Arizona ranks thirty seven of all the states and territories instead of thirty eight in 1890, having exchanged places with Florida. While this is not an apparently good showing since the Spanish cpeaking population is in cluded in the making up of it. New MeXico's place in the list Is forty-nine, the same as in 1890 There is, however, room for improvement throughout the country
 The United States, with muCl to warrant it, boasts of it's diffused in telligence and devotion to the cause of education. but 1t is still behind Ger many, Sweden, Norway, and Switzer- land in the literacy of its people, The total number of illiterates in this country in 1900 was 6.1S0,O69. or 1O6.6 illiterates to 1000 population ten years of age or over. In 1890 the proportion was 1884 to 1000; so we see there has been a substantial gain in the number of persons who can read.
 Illiteracy is more common in the country than in the city. This is due to the superior schools in the towns and the more general attendance of children. nliteracy both in cities and in the country is vastly greater in the south than in the north, and, in the country among foreign-b whites than above natives.
 Taking the country at large, how ever. there is less illiteracy among the children of foreign born parents than among those of native born. That is attributable to the fact that the for eign born element is concentrated in the cities where attendance upon schools is compulsory, and opportuni- ties are better as we'll as more numer- ous than in the country. In the cities alone there IS no difference to speak of between the two classes.
 The large negro population in the south, not yet emancipated from tle ignorance and degradation inherited from slavery partly accounts for the large percentage of illiteracy in that section; but not entirely. This is shown by a comparison of the north ern states having the best records with the figures for illiteracy among the whites of the southern states The following table SHOWS the gains in certain northern states from 1890 to 1900, with the rank of the several states for the same years in literacy:

THE FACTORY PROGRESSING

 cinity of Glendale.

Glendale, Ariz., Dec. 7.-(Special Correspondence of the Republican.)- Work on the new restaurant at the factory was started this week and will be rushed to completion as soon as possible. The foundation for the walls of the main building is being put in shape and the first lot of brick is al- most ready for burning.
 Price and Harry Barber came down from the Relief mine to spend a few days at home and see for sure whether work had started on the factory or not.
 Judging from the brightness of some goods bought for one of the boys at the Relief mine, there must be more style in dress, or rather colors are more popular than they will ever be in any of the large cities.
 The first pay day in Glendale for some time was Tuesday evening at the factory. It certainly looks good to see the men receiving an envelope with something besides a bill in it.
 If any one thing is characteristic of the Glendale youth it is originality as is evident from the following answers given to the questions:
 Question-"Describe the alimentary canal"
 Answer-"It is a tube about twenty five feet in length. one and a quarter inches in diameter and passes through the back bone
 Question-"What is meant by pow CTS of congress 9"
 Answer-"To enact such laws as hurt the entire country"
 Define "Pentateuch."

That his recommendations will have weight with congress can not be doubted, but nevertheless there will be bitter fight on the statehood propositions advanc- cd by him.

This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to habit as most people suppose.
