Saving Campaign lnausuratsd
at CnlDo1e. Il, Is,

With the designation of the
Utah Agricultural College as an
agent for the sale of War Savings
Stamps, veritable saving CAM
paign has started among the stu
dents. The problem confronting
the College is to secure stamps in
sufficient quantities to supply the
demand. The constant cry from,
the students is that there are no
stamps to be had. This enthu-
siasrn is due in great part to the
energetic campaign started at the
College early in the year by the
Honorable George T. Odell, of
Salt Lake City, a member of the
Board of Trustees of the College
and in charge of the sale of War
Savings Stamps in Utah. The
students appreciate the fact that
by buying these stamps they are
not only helping their Govern
ment but making good : invest
ments for themselves.

Gus Conditions Disclosed
By the Draft.

WASHINGTON March 2S-The
number Of persons in7-America who
cannot read Of wrIte--is almost un-
belivable," says Secretary Of the In
terror Lane in letter to Senator Hoke
Smith, chairman Of the senate COM
mittee on education and labor.
:'There are in the United States"
says Secretary Lane "(or were when
the census was taken in 1910 $685.
1913 persons over 10 years of age who
were unable to read or write in any
language. There are now nearly 7O0,-
900 men of draft age In the United
States who are, I presume, registered,
who cannot read or write English or
any other language. Over 100000
of the illiterates in this country were
20 years of age or more. This figure
equals the total population Of the
states of California, Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New
Mexico and Delaware. The percent
age Of illiterates varies in the several
states from IL per cent in Iowa to
20 per cent in Louisiana. More than
10 per cent of it was in thirteen states.
Half of the illiterates were between
20 and As years Of age.
1T would seem to be almost axio-
matte that an illiterate man can not
make a good soldier in modern war;
fare. Until last April the regular
army would not enlist illiterates, yet
in the first draft between 10000 and
100000 illiterates were brought into
the army and approximately as many
near-illiterates. They can not sign
their names. They can not read their
orders posted daily on bulletin boards
in camps. They can not read their
manual Of arms. They can not read
their letters or write home. They can
not understand the signals or follow
the signal corps in time of battle.
There are 100000 men who can
not read or write who may be drafted
into our army within the next year
or two.'
Secretary Lane concludes his letter
with a plea that an appropriation be
voted to the federal bureau of edu-
cation that illiteracy may be stamped
out.
