UNCLE SANS ILLITERATES.
Persons Over Ten Years of Age Who
Cannot Write.

Tersohs over Ten ears OF Age VINO
Cannot Write.
Definition-An illiterate is a person
ten years Of age or older who cannot
write in any language. This is the
test applied in the United States CEN
sus compilations. 1t may be assumed
that one who cannot write cannot read.
and this is true with few exceptions.
In 1870 there were in each 900 of
population of the United States 200
illiterates; in 1880 there were 10; in
1890 it had fallen to 1S3 and in 1900
to 107.
Thus it appears that in our country
about one person in every nine of ten
years and over is illiterate. In France
there is one in ~, in England, Scot
land and Holland one in 40, In Switzer-
land one in 1GG, in Denmark one in 500,
in Sweden and Norway in 1.250, and
in Germany illiteracy is almost I'M
known. The ratio in 1903 among all
the recruits in the army was but one
in $500, and illiteracy is probably even
less among the German people general
~ than among these recruits.
These facts are not such as TO make
Americans proud. Nor can we excuse
ourselves on the ground that we re-
ceive great numbers of immigrants
from the less intelligent peoples of Eu-
rope, for in many States the illiterates
OF native parents outnumber those
whose parents were born in foreign
lands; nor is 1t in the South only in
which this is true. In the State of New
York in 1900 $4,000 illiterates were Of
foreign parentage and $4,000 of native.
Moreover, in the larger cities. where
our foreign born population is largely
congregated, the percentage of Hitter
acy Is lower than In the smaller cities
of $4,000 and less, and in the large
cities ii is no greater than in the aver
age country district
The following list shows the number
of illlterates in each 1000 population
according to the last United States cen

Random Knowledge.

To substitute acquired common

cruder and tardier processes of learn

mistakes, is, of course, the object Of
all education. In From Sail to Steam"

FENDER DROPS CLOSE TO THE GRoUND.

BUSY PART OF MANHATTAN.

I'm One Block OF New York Are 1000
Factory Workers.
There is congestion of industries and
factories, as well as congestion of pop
llatiOn in New York, says the Sun.
The committee on congestion of popu-
alton has been making interesting
study from the records of the depart
nent of labor of the state of the loca-
ion of factories and the number of
factories and workers to the acre in
he assembly districts OF Manhattan.
The significant fact was brought out
hat - per cent of the factories and
III per cent of the workers are pack
I'd into Is per cent of the area of
Manhattan in the sixth assembly dis
-rict, with its 1876 acres, bounded by
East 4th street, Sd avenue, ST. Marks
place. I'd avenue, I'd street, 1st avenue,
Houston, Eldridge, Stanton, Chrystie,
Division streets. Bowery, Canal street
and Broadway.
This assembly district Immediately
idjoins the Sth aud 10th assembly dis
.ricts, which are the most densely pop
1lated of any in Manhattan, with over
$40 people to the acre.
Manhattan has 1880 factori-- and
S41.S56 workers in these factories, with
IN acreage Of 14,03S The Bronx has
j42 factories only and 1913 workers
sprinkled through its area of 26O17
acres, less than one worker to the
acre, as against twenty-four to the
acre in Manhattan.
| The department of labor gives the
following number of factories and en-
ployes in the other boroughs Of Great
ar New York: Brooklyn, 1850 facto-
rles, with 1882 employees; Queens,
i22 factories. with 201SO employees !;
Richmond, 173 factories, with 1854
employees
1t is when one makes a dividing line
between upper and lower Manhattan
at 18th street that the true significance
Of the crowding of factories in lower
Manhattan is evidenced, for in this
area, roughly cut off at 14th street,
$4,000 workers are located in about
2,70O acres
AS the acme of density is the block
bounded by Yves Houston, Prince and
Crosby streets and Broadway, with 81
per cent Of its size covered with build
ings, a density of 1,21O workers to the
acre, and with a total of 1000 people
working in the block during 1906, the
gear for which all the data are taken.
large proportion of the buildings in
this block are twelve stories high
Another fact of significance is that
in this book the assessed value of
land, according to the report of the de-
Dartment of taxes and assessment, was
S1,123,S4S, or S25.0S a square foot.
Does it pay to manufacture where
land costs this rate? Who pays the
additional rent on the land, and could
factories easily remove to other Dor
oughs? These are some Of the ques-
lions which the committee suggests as
result Of its studies.
