The OUTLOOK.


 llliterscy It may be matter of
 h the surprise to some to Ualtod States. learn that the United States is still behind five of the Euro pean nations in the matter of popular education. Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Switzerland are all of them ahead of us in the small number of people who cannot read or write. Our census authorities count any per- son under nine years of age who can- not read or write in English or any other language as being an illiterate According to the Census bureau thefe were little over six million such peo- pie in our country in 1900, 1t being nearly one person in every ten. We are, however, improving on our statis- tics little, for in 1890 the population was 133 illiterates to every thousand of the population. One cause of our large number of this class is the lack of education among the negroes. The proportion of iliiterates among them is 444 per thousand. If only the cen sus of the white people were taken it would show that 46 out of every thous- and were illiterate. One fact which seems rather different from our New England ideas s,thst taking the coun. try over, there are more women who cahnot read or write. than men. The foreign population that comes to us from the Latin races also helps to raise the average of illiteracy. The children of the cities are better edu. cated than the children of the country, and, rather curiouay, the children of foreign populationshave less illiteracy among them than exists among the children of the native born.. But here again the negroes count.

 Secretary Root Next summer, if all
 In Brazil. goes we'll, Secretary of State Elihu Root will attend the Pan.American Congress in Rio Janeire ss the representatives of this country and as direct representative of the President. This is the third meeting of the Pan-American Congress and it affords an opportunity for the natives on this side of the Atlantic to get to- Rether and compare notes and see what can be done to help each other commercially and otherwise. The United States has been quite strenu- ous in its upholding of the Monroe Doctrine, which is that no European nation should subjugate any of the countries of the Western Continent, and some of the South American re- publics are said to be little nervous about their own autonomy, fearing lest the United States, under the stren. uous President, should force them into treaties and regulations that would in. jure their trade or relations with Europe. This Congress is hoped to do away with any such feeling and to es- tablish a bond of unity between the American nations. Secretary Root has had some experience in handling South American affairs and so is believed to : he the fitting man to smooth out the wrinkles on the brows of our southern sisters. It is also probably true that if South America knew more of oul manufactures she might be induced to buy larger amount of goods from oul people. Reciprocity in trade would be a good thing for all the countries or this continent and would help to make good feeling.

Amrs. May 15.--At recent meeting
of the board Of trustees of the Iowa
Agricultural College, Mr.. II. G. Van
Pct, who graduated In 1903. was elect
cd to the position OF assistant profess
ser of a,.imal hushandry and superin-
authorities consider themselves most
fortunate in securing the services OF
so well-trained man as Mr.. Van Pelt.
He is worthy example OF what hard
work and a determined purpose will
do for young man. He entered the
college in 1898. a poor boy. BY work.
ing in the barns during the school year
and on a stock farm during his vaca-
lions he earned enough money to de-
fray all OF his expenses for complete
college course.
Upon graduation he entered the en-
ploy of Swift & Co. as salesman In
made good and was rapidly advanced.
In the spring Of 1904. when the Jersey
cattle breeders were securing the
country IN search Of the most compe-
tent man to be had to take charge of
their cows In the famous ST. Louis
dairy test Van Pelt was given the
preference over all others and was In
duced to take up the work. In this
work he won for himself an interna-
tional reputation as feeder and man.
ager Of dairy cattle. The cattle under
his charge won everything in sight.
Since completing the test he has pre-
pared for publication comprehensive
statement of the methods of feeding
and management practiced In the st.
Louis test, which has been very widely
copied by many of the leading agricul-
tural papers in this and other coun-
tries. During the winter of 1904 and
'05 he was instructor In animal hus-
bandry at Purdue University, Lafay-
cite, Ind Since then he has been en-
ployed on the Auton farm at Jersey

In his new position he will devote
his sole time to Institutional and In
vestigation work In connection with
dairy cattle. He will be In charge of
the college dairy farm. which Is now
being equipped with buildings and cat
tie. 1t is believed that this addition to
