Nickerson goes into broader

they have more responsible and
better positions and both were

1lliteracy in the United

The war revealed to US many
II the existing conditions Of
America. 1t showed as that
.mong our young citizens Of draft
,ge a very large proportion. thru
illness or physical imperfection,
we're unable to meet the require
nents necessary for military du-
y. It. also brot into view an il
iteracy greatly exceeding our
realization. Among the men of
draft age there We're 100, 900 illIt-
crates.
Such a condition is most unfor
tunate. Our country. in spite of
the vaunted advantages of edu
cation which it is supposed to
give, is not doing its duty along
educational lines, and along the
lines of preparing men for citi-
zenship
Besides. this large number Of
illiterates, there are many people
in this country who tho they read
and write some foreign tongue,
do not read or write English.
These people also are seriously
handicapped. English, the DOM
nant language of America, must
be understood if Americans are
to have a common viewpoint of
policies and ideals. 1t is in COM
munities where little English is
used that foreign plopaganda'
finds its readiest field.
The United States must look
to the education of her children
and the Americanization Of her
youth.

There is generally a mere ques
ton of opportunity, not of will
ingness or ability, between these
service marks. Often the man
who would gladly have served

During the late epidemic the
great cities were long behind the

of this country should have put
