BY FRED WILLIAMS,

am writing this letter 20 give you
some idea OF Detroit as a manutactnr
ing and commercial city.
You, no doubt. have heard that De
troit leads the world in the production
OF automobiles Tie Ford plant, which
Is in Detroit, turns out a car every
SO seconds during rhe busy season
Detroit also leads the world in the
production OF adding machines. coin
machines, auto accessories. anc mas
the largest seed house in the world.
More tonnage passes Detroit dur
ing the nine months OF navigation
than passes any other port in year.
During the period OF navigation a boat
passes Detroit every seven minutes.
Our chief retail stores are located
on Woodward-aye. Detroit's chief
banking district is located on Girls
wold-st.. which is sometimes call our
"Wall-st"
We also have some beautiful parks
one OF which is called Belle Isle This
is an island and natural park, which
is connected TO Detroit by a bridge
We also have what We call a 200, but
If compared with the one al Central
park, IL would look like a mouse be-
side an elephant, your 200 being the
elephant.

say that the schools are costing a
good deal OF money, and u must be
/ so. In Mr. Mead Office We found
these figures: The schools OF the

year. The same year the people paid
S596000.000 for liquors, or over $780,
I 000,0 more than for the schools. We

A report from the federal bureau OF
statistics shows that 10 out Of every
] 900 children in the United States
from 10 to IA years OF age, are Hitter
ate. This does not necessarily mean
that they are all unable TO read or
write, but that the amount OF school
ing which they have had, has been
very small, and therefore, they are
classed as illiterate.
Out of every 1000 children in Louis.
vile, lis are classed as illiterate; SO
In South Carolina, II In Alabama, 6S
In New Mexico, 6S in North Carolina
81 In Georgia. so in Florida, and Al
In Arkansas.
When even these large figures are
compared with those Of 1900, il will
readily be seen that more attention il
