WE ARE LEARNING TO READ

Americans are learning to read! This may moi seem surprising to you who perusng this newspaper as you do daily However in 1900 there were 42 children per thousand between the ages of ten and fourteen in the United states who could not read or write
 Ir 1910 this number had been reduced to 22, de crease Of nearly hsf and 1914 the number had gone down to l5.
 The Bureau of Education states:
 From the standpoint of proportional reduction of H. teracy Oklahoma leads all states Ip 1909 this state had 2l nerate children the ages named In 1910 it had butlZ
 "DeIaware had 20 in 1900 and but 4 in 1910. New Hampshire reduced number from in 1900 to in 1910 New Jersey from 2 Missouri from 35 to II, Montana ad Oregon from 8 to l. Virginia from to New Mexico from ls2 to 69 and Idaho from to 9
 Nevada the only state which has lost ground since 1900 It's iIiteracy was then 4, and is now s.
 TWO states South Dakota and Nebraska each having the low rate of per thousand, report reduc, n'in riteracy between 1900 and 1910
 The states having the largest proportion of nnterae children per thousand Louisiana, with l15 Jfrom 17l in i9Oo, South Carolina S8 from 15o Alabama 77 from l57 and New Mexico, 69 from l92
 Hist of figures is apt to be a dull thing to wade through but no American wade through the list with out glow fsatsfaction. Just learning barely to read and write may not seem such wonderful accomplish ment either. But the fact is does just learn barely to read and write" Learning to read and write means having unlocked and opened the great doors tc knowledge He who stands outside may learn man, things it is true may enjoy rich experience But he h the richer possibility of learning first hand iron books, of communicating with his fellows beyond th' reach of his voice The green pastures of fuller life W beyond the strong gates of ilIteracy.
 Kentucky, which made the big reduction from 7 per thousand 59 in four years is continuing the wor with what the Owensboro Messenger refers "Apos toic zeal"
