cited for these failures. The
examination may have been more
rigid than usual, and the papers
were possibly graded more rigid.

years. But the main reason. no

When progre ssive agricultural

Denmark comes at once to mind
as a case in point. Recent sta

the United States the proportion
is two hundred times greater, or
ten per cent, while in several
States the percentage 81 il!iteracy
is very much greater than that.
In Denmark, where neither soil
