New York's foreign born iterates tota1ed 362,025.

reduced three per cent between 1900 and 1870
at the rate of per cent every forty months At this
rate iliteracy would be ended in about twenty-five
years.
Eliminating ilteracy, however is not task that
be reckoned by time. Remedial legislation, tandem
work by the federal government and the States, and
persistent effort the only with which to
combat conditions that perpetuate ignorance.
Bills now in Congress providing that the Commits

the adult population and the means by which it may
be eliminated reduced, step in the right direction
1t is believed that by cooperative effort which the
nation, the States individuals and associations shall

the number of adult literates from forty-ve hum
