The Colossal Cost of War

Since its beginning the federal gov
eminent has collected the colossal sum
Of over $24,OOO,OOO,OOO. Of this about
$4,000, 100000, or a full three-quarters
has been in preparing for, making
and paying for war. By far the larger
part of this has been done since the
civil war, in which period, a single
struggle, the Spanish-American war,
lasting a, few months, took place. And
since this one struggle our expendi-
lures for the war department have
been more than doubled, and for the
navy have gone up over 400 per cent.

Have you taught your boy or girl
to swim?
You have doubtless been at great

has not been lacking. But what would
happen if your son or your daughter
should fall into deep waters, with no
rescurers near?
Every boy and girl should be taught
to swim. In most cities and larger
towns there are swimming pools, and
rivers and smaller streams are avail
able to most communities. Even
where it is necessary to go on a
summer vacation to some point where
there are facilities for swimming, the
duty is a solemn one which parents
owe to children, and it should not be
neglected.
Many men cannot swim, and they
are always in more or less trepidation
when on the banks of deep streams,
or in small beats. And there is no
more narrowing experience through
which a man can pass than to stand
on the bank of lake or river and

To Eliminate Witeracy

The Register has received the fol-
lowing that appears to be a general
letter from Congressman Abercrom-
bic, addressed to the press of Ala
bama:
There are in the United States ap-
proximately five and one-half million
men, women and children over ten
years old unable to read and write in
any language, something more than
7 per cent. of all the population of
this age. OF these, four and three
quarter millions are over twenty,
more than per cent. of the total pop
ulation over twenty years old. Fully
half of these are young men and wo-
men with many years Of life yet be-
fore them to be lived out with the
handicap of total illiteracy, unless
they are encouraged and assisted to
throw off the burden. With proper
encouragement and help most all CT
these would learn to read and write
and to do simple practical problems
in arithmetic. Many of them would
do much more. They would then be
better citizens and more profitable to
themselves, to society, and to the in
dustrial world.
"A large part of the illiterates are
older men and women whose child
hood came at time when oppor,uni-
ties for education were few and
meager. Many of them were the or
phaned children OF soldiers who fell
on the battlefield or died in camp
Some We're themselves on the firing
line Opportunities denied them in
childhood should be accorded them all
the mere willingly now. In their old
age they should at least be encouraged
to read their Bibles and the daily
newspapers and TO write to their dis
tant relatives and loved ones.
"None of the three-quarters of g
million children over ten years of age
but still unable to read and writ
should be permitted to graduate int
illiterate citizenship. Since they vii
not under ordinary conditions avail
themselves of the opportunities offer
ed by the public schools other mean.

meager education, and an invitation to
cooperate with state, county, district
and municipal officers in putting these
methods into operation for the elimin-
alton of adult illiteracy. Should the
bill become a law at the present SEES
sion of congress, l believe illiteracy
will be reduced to a small portion of
1 per cent. of the total population by
the end of the fiscal year 1925, and
that the knowledge and intelligence
of many millions of people will be
much larger than it otherwise will be.
81 shall be glad to know what you
think of this bill, a copy of which l
am enclosing, and of the purpose CON
templated in it,
In all earlier time this proposal
would have been looked upon with
misgiving, seeing it in the entering
wedge Of federal supervision of popu-
lar education; and not a few of our
elder citizens will view it with alarm.
Nevertheless, as the abolition of illit-
eracy is really very important if not
vital consideration affecting the ques-
tiOn of our progress as a people, we
must recognize that a radical depar-
ture from the unsuccessful methods
of. the past has to be made. DR.. Aber-
crombie proposes a procedure that
should lead to wise guidance in re-
moval of illiteracy, and he has provid
ed a safeguard against the federal
power invading and displacing the
state in the direction of education OF
the young.
DR.. Abercrombies prediction tha+
illiteracy will be reduced to so small,
proportion as one per cent, in some
ten years time is not extrayagant

matter be strictly confined to teach,

PROVIDENCE
philadelphia LEDGER

Providence after all, is kinder to
us than we are to ourselves. No other
conclusion is possible in view of the
whispers of reviving confidence from
all parts of the country that have fol-
lowed the publication of the reports
of favorable crop prospects. The ac-
tiyities of the government have been
responsible for stagnation in business.
No one knew what the future held and
no far-seeing business man took any
risks that he could avoid. The coun-
try has been living from hand to mouth
for many months. The railroads AMI
the mills have been laying off hands
and all Improvements and repairs that
were not imperative have been defer
red. But a bountiful and beneficial
Providence has blessed the nation
with abundant crops, and billions Of
new wealth produced by the fields
that yield whether the tariff be high
or low and whether business be har-
assed or encouraged have been poure.

asked about astronomy, the answer
and comment were the same. 1t was
the same as to philosophy, That's
three-fourths of your life wasted,
said the college professor, sadly. Just
then there was a great commotion on
the ship, and the sailor began to d.
vest himself of superfuous clothing.
Whats the trouble?" queried the
master of metaphysics, astronomy
and philosophy. Can you swim?" re-
piled the sailor. "Not a stroke"
What a PITY" remarked the sailor,
as he went over the side of the vessel.

Albany was Mortified yesterday by
double drowning in creek near the
city, and two homes have been plung-
ed into mourning because two young
women who were in a boat which cap
sized could not swim.
