is one illiterate to every forty, in Swift
erland one in l66, in Denmark one in
500, in Sweden and Norway one in 1850
and in Germany illitcracy is practically
unknown" The average American is
ready to admit, with tho Journal Of Ed
ueation, that these figures are not such
to make Americans proud.
The person who tries to argue that
the reason for this greater percentage
Of illitcracy IN the United States Is due
to the great introduction Of foreigners
into the United States is promptly met
with the statistics showing that In Che
state Of New York in the last census year
$4,000 illiterates were OF foreign par
cntage aud 10000 Of native parentage
Moreover, that in the cities where for.
eigners settle more readily the percent
age Of illiteracy is lower than in the
smaller cities and the country districts.
Thus, the argument that the inanx Of
foreigners Is accountable for the great
illiteraey scarcely holds
TO vermonters, il win be interesting
TO know that their state now stands
twenty-second in the list Of states. with
IS illiterates to every one thousand Of
the population Iowa leads all states
with proportion Of ~ to tile Thousand,
In the New England group, Maine leads
slightly over Vermont, and Massachu-
setts stands next below Vermont Con
necticut i twenty-ffth, New Hampshire
twenty eighth and Rhode Island Thrift
eth. The preponderaice Of iliiterates
rests BY FAR IN the southern belt q
states, the last fifteen states in the list
being those below the Mason and Dixon
line
There is hopeful sign. however. as
the proportion Of illiterates 70 popula
ton has been steadily growing less, be
ing dropped from 200 IN the year 1870
To lOT III 1900 This ought to encourage
