1900 IN ONE COUNTY UNABLE TO
WRITE
North Carolina TO Open Adult Schools;
Half o; Iiliteyates Cotton Mill Men.

Greensboro, N. c., Aug. 15.-The ex-
tent of illiteraey in sections of North
Carolina is revealed in a recent report
made by the superintendent of public
instruction, statistics for which were
gathered from the tests of draft regis.
trants, showing that more than one hou-
sand young men beween the ages of 81
and 81 years, residing in Guilford
county alone, are unable to write their
own names.
No distinction is made between white
and Colored residents; therefore it is
impossible to determine racial percent
ages of illiteracy.
The percentage of illiteraey among
old men who were prevented from GO
ing to school during the days of recon-
struetion following the civil war is much
larger.
It is conservatively estimated that
tAere are about forty-fve hundred adults
in Guilford county who are unable 90
write their names.
Approximately half OF those who
failed to pass the literacy tests were
employed in cotton mills.
Although adult schools are to be estab-
lished, the best of teachers will be
needed, as it will require extreme tact
to interest the old students in their
work. But it can be done, as was re-
vealed in the army, and North Caroline
is going to do all possible to remove thi
stain from its reputation.

pal Church, said:
"Chicago has been shamed and dis
graced by the race riots. Numerous sug-
gestions are being offered to prevent a
recurrence of the trouble. Hundreds
of new policemen are being sworn in.
Courts demand vigorous prosecution and
severe penalties, apparently with special
reference to the blacks. We talk segre-
cation. The South invites the Negro
back, though it has never solved the race
problem. Some urge the blacks to join
the unions. These so-called remedies do
not strike at the root of the difficulty.
TThe Negro has not been fairly dealt
with. He has not had Il mans chance.
What he needs and has right to de-
mand is a square deal. To talk race SUI
ppriority is foolish in the extreme il is
neither proved nor provable. Hoodlums
of both races led the riots.
"When the white church people of
this country take the stand that the
Negro is man and must have a man s
when we not only talk but
live the brotherhood of man, then and
only then will race riots cease
