From Leslie's Magazine:-The war
revealed an extent of illiteracy in
America almOt unbelievable. Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane points out
that there are 100000 men Of draft
age in the United States who cannot
read nor write in English or in any
other language. There are 100000
persons over ten years Of age who
cannot read or write in any Ian
guage. The regular army never en-
listed iliterates, but the Draft Act
brought into the army approximate
ly $4,000 illiterates and as many
more who were almost illterate.
These soldiers could not sign their
names. They could not read the
manual of arms. They could not
read their letters or write home
They could not read their daily
orders posted on bulletin boards in
camp. They could not understand
signals in time Of battle. The eco
monte loss through illiteracy is esti-
mated at Ss25,OOO,OOO a year on the
conservative assumption that the
productive labor value Of an litter
ate is less by only so cents a day
than that OF an educated person.

TO the house for few days fight
ing the flu," though he will not own
that il has hold Of him. He expects,
however, TO be able TO attend a Rural
Educational Conference in Daytona,
Fla. the last Of the week.
The Normal department believes
in making use of good people who
have come up through its ranks. In
addition TO Miss DeBord and Mr..
VanHook, who have been with us
for the past few years as teachers,
We have added this winter two
strong men, Samuel Mayfleld and RE.
Miller, both graduates of the College
department. Mr.. Mayileld was prin-
cipal of the Newburn, Tenn, schools
for two years after graduation, and
for the past two years has been with
his father, in Pulaski county, in bust
ness. But the teaching instinct was
too strong in him, and he gave up
trade TO become one of us. He is
taking a part of the Science work
off of Professor Lewis. We are glad,
too, that he brought back with him
one of our former Normal girls, Miss
Swinney, as Mrs. Mayfleld. Mr.. Mil
Ter does not bring a wife back, but
he does come in a most becoming
Lieutenant's uniform which may be
a great aid in his making up that
deficiency. Since finishing his col
lege work in Berea he has done
summer school work in Michigan
Agricultural College and Wisconsin,
and has taught for a year in Canada,
in addition to more than a year
spent with his Uncle Sam. He takes
up History, a class in Agriculture,
and the Physical Training work in
the department, for which he is es-
pecially fitted.

since the practice game with Orange
burg October 3rd. The team shows
wonderful improvement under the
coaching of Coach Herlong and Coach
Boland, and a team worthy to repre-
sent the Old Gold and Black is ex-

top shape. At present there are two
teams with reserves on the side lines
fighting for a place on the varsity
eleven. The men have realized that
there is much hard work before them
before they can be transferred from
a bunch of green's into successful
eleven. Among the new men are Dan
West and S. Shealy, who are showing
unusual pep and stickability in the
daily practice.
