Illiteracy in America.

Nearly per cent Of the population Of the
United States over 10 years old is classed in the
1910 census as "ilterate." Who are our illi-
terates? And whose fault is it that they are
illiterate? These questions are asked and in
a measure answered, in the current North Ameri-
can Review Dividing them into four classes
outside Of certain negligible elements such as
Indians. Chinese, etc. they are:
1. White people, of American birth and
parentage, 1,237,SS4 or 81 per cent Most
noteworthy is the fact that the large part of this
native-born illiteracy is in the southern states.
2. White people, American born of foreign
Darentage, 155,SsS or L per cent.
3. White people, foreign-born immigrants
1,65o,S61 or 1877 per cent.
4. Negroes. all American born and practi-
cally all Of American parentage 227,731 or "a
per cent.
Thus analyzed, it is easy to answer the sec
ond question, for the blame for the ignorance
OF all OF these classes, with the exception of
the immigrants. is our own, and cannot be
shifted to anyone else. The foreign-born illit-
crate deprived OF all opportunity for education
in the country from which he has come, gem
orally speaking has transplanted himself to our
shores for the very purpose of enabling his chill
dren to escape that handicap. This is proved
by the small number and low percentage of illit-
crates among the American born of foreign
parentage who clearly utilize the advantages of
our schools even more than our own people.
1t is to be noted too that the illiteracy in the
south Is not confined to the negroes. but includes
disproportionate number OF native born whites
We can remove, and are removing, the blight Of
iliteracy from our own people, although not as
fast as we ought, but until we discharge our full
duty, where the responsibility is wholly ours it
i'll beflts any of to urge the illiteracy of our
immigrants as reason for barring them out

Pre-EminsnOe Of Our Highest Court.

That the supreme court Of the United States
never occupied stronger position before the
people than II does today may be freely af-
firmed, and that despite all the agitation for ap-
peal to the people from judicial decisions and
the unquestioned popular growing distrust Of
some judges. The fact that the agitation
referred to has met with such little favor may
perhaps be explained by the peculiarly en-
tTenched position occupied by our highest court
because OF the personnel and character OF its
membership. For this reason, as we'll as for
others, It is gratifying to see the outlook, whose
contributing editor has on occasions excoriated
courts In general and certain courts in particu-
lar, paying the highest tribute to the standing
and influence Of the supreme court, finding its
incentive in the four most important decisions
recently rendered involving the control OF com
mon carriers, and the powers OF the Interstate
Commerce commission We quote the exact
language OF the Outlooks editorial:
or these four important decisions Il is noteworthy
that only that Of the OIL Pipe Line called forth
any dissenting opinion. The other three opinions
were unanimous These decisions thus illustrate not
only the industry OF the court but its conference.
There was a time when important decisions OF the
court frequently impaired by a close division
among its members When justices OF the supreme
court not only disagree. but show by their dis
agreement that they have not even understood one
another, and have not come to common under
standing OF the principles involved in the case. there
is naturally lose OF confidence In the perrnanence
OF what the court is doing. That period appears to
have come to an end. Now the court is working
a unit Its members seem to understand one an
other. When there is dissent, It 10 not such TO
impair the courts decision II IL only natural to
attribute this spirit in the court to the leader
ship Of Chief Justice White.
Let it be remembered that majority of the
justices OF the supreme court as now constituted
were appointed by President Taft, and that Jus
tice White was by him elevated to the position
Of chief justice. II the court today is working
in conference, II is because 1t is made up OF jur-
lists OF highest attainments seeking indlvid-
ual prestige, securely Independent of outside in
fluence, and aiming solely at truth and justice.
