Illiteracy ana tIe Country

L
Not Immigration. but the lack 81
educational opportunities in ru.ai
districts. Is chiefly resp. nsible Tor
the relatively high rate OF illlteracy
in the United States. according to a
bulletin by IA; c. Monahan OF the
Bureau OF Education. The rate II
rural flliteracy is twice the urban
rate, despite the fact that approxt-
mately three-fourth of the immi-
grants are in the cities. Still more
significant is comparison between
children born In this country Of for
eign parents with those born OF ma.
tive parents. "The illiteracy among
iaatlve9born children of native par
entage is more than three times as
great as among native children OF
foreign parentage,' says Mr.. Mona
han. Largely on,account of the lack
OF opportunities for education in
rural America
The bulletin is OF special value at
this time because it is brief, clear.
conversational statement of the ru.
raj school problem. 1t does! not at
tempt to gloss over unpleasant facts.
Ut gives full recognition to the pos
tive advance that has been made in
many rural districts, and to improve
ments now under way, but in gener-
al finds conditions far from salts
factory
Among other thongs. Mr.. Monohaa
finds 226, 5000 one-teacher school
houses in the United States, of which
5000 are log buildings still in ac-
tive use. Although more than sixty
per cent of the children of tho
United States are enrolled in coun-
try sch ools, the rural aggregate a.
tendance is only fifty-one per cent.
The school buildings and grounds in
most country districts are in con-
'ditlon that is only approached by
I'shomes of the most shiftless resi-
dents OF the district and the aver
age teaching IN these one-teacher
schools is of very low grade.
The bulletin is illustrated with
photographs of good and bad rural
schools. from the log school house to
the CONSOLIDATED school; right and
wrong heating in country school; a
earning factory and school garden
connected with Louisiana school;
and map showing the system, OF
local school supervision as it pre-
walls in the several states. The pur-
pose of the map is to show how real
the need is for the kind OF business
like supervision of the country
schools that has led to such efficient
results inythe city.
With the help of recent appropri-
ations made by Congress the Bureau
OF Education has undertaken to
make a careful study of the needs
of the rural schools, and the ;bulle-
tin Just issued is one of the first
definite results of the work. 1T Is
in no way either complete or ex-
haustive," says Commissioner Clax-
ton, "but it is the best possible ua-
der the circumstances and with the
facilities now at our disposal. iu-
complete as it is, this bulletin makes
very laudable contribution to a
clear understanding of the rural
schools as they actually are" The
publication will be sent free upon
application to the commissioner OF
education,

UTAH VARSITY TER
BASKETBALL TITLE
Rivalry in This Branch of
Amateur Sport Keener Than
in Other Lines.

In most colleges in the- United States
basketball is the king Of winter sports.
The position is well earned, and in Utah.
at least this year no one would dare
challenge the right OF basketball to that
title. The beginning OF the intercollegiate
series is now only two weeks distant and
the supporters OF the different colleges
In the state are making rash predictions
about the championship.
AS far as the state as a whole is con-
cerned. the interest In the basketball sit
uation Is keener than that displayed In
any other amateur sport, and. indeed, II
Aggies are the only schools whose foot
ball amounts to anything, and in ira OK
II is generally foregone conclusion that
Utah university will win easily,
'is true that the b. Y. Z. has held the
spotlight for some time but il IS always
a difficult night that they have won.
oosar an ss sh Ss opon 10 ps
among enthusiasts IN this city that the
university has the hest chance in the
state this year 1t is certain that they
have moro veterans back than any other
school. and so far this year tney have
shown a little more speed
At the 3. Y, U; they have several Of
the old stars back and their new ma
terIal Is very .promising: Then. too
Coach Roberts has a habit OF getting
just a little bit more work out Of a bas,
ketball team than anyone else coulo. and
that is an all-important factor when II
comes down TO the real test
The Aggies are also depending upon
oid-timera for their strength. Last year
they played consistent ball all season, and
this season they think that with the ad-
vantage of practicing with the 3. Y. G.
team they will be able TO surprise the
rest OF the schools. The y. y. c. team
Is precisely the same team that Won the
high school championship OF the state
last winter. At that time tho college
the high school teams IN the tournament
that " was walkoyer. The report from
Logan is that they are better than ever
this year, and IL this is true, when the
things start, basketball fans can look for
ward to some real excitement.

Manager Who Is Handicapped
By Whims of Woman Magnate

rT. LOUIS. Jan. 11.-Ed wray. thu
st. Louis writer. says:
Nothing can more show the
~ desperation of Miller Huggins
and the st. Louis Cardinals than
the signing OF Larry Mclean to play
with the ST Louis National League
club. Why, even the Browns de-
clined him with thanks.
The loss of Bresnahan and the fact
that Wingo has developed a severe
attack of hold-out has left the Cards
leader In Il serious auandry. In fact,
without a catcher worthy the name.
Talk about paying dearly for your
whistle, Ask Mrs. Brftton what II has
cost her already, and will cost her in
the future, TO get rid of former
President Steininger and Roger Bres-
nahan?
Some expens,veness to these
whims.
