For Better Education.

The honors for literacy must, alas,
90 to Germany, where the illiteracy
percentage is far less than one! Eng
land follows close behind. But in the
United States nearly 9 per cent of the
people can neither read nor write our
language. This sounds bad, but 1t
really isn't when you consider our
heavy immigration.
Educational bureaus throughout the
country are constantly bettering con-
ditions, for greater literacy means
greater labor production. In many
counties travelling Libraries are sent
out-wagons fitted up with book
Ehelves.
But careful education of the chill
dren is the most important branch OF
all, and so many cities provide con
veyanees for crippled children to go tt
s-hool in.
When we consider that India ant
Egypt are over 90 per cent illiterate
our fast decreasing six looks very
small.--Popular Science Monthly.

DEPOSITS OF FINE COAL
DISCOVERED IN SWEDEN

LONDON, April 81 (by Associated
Pres) Deposits of coal in Sweden,
discovery of which was reported re-
Gently from Stockholm, may help to
solve one of Sweden's most difficult
industrial problems.
Sweden has an almost inexhaustible
supply of very fine iron ore and SWed-
ish scientists for years have unsuc-
cessfully attempted to devise means
of working it by electricity. With a
coal supply at home it is pointed out
that Sweden has an opportunity to be,
come one of the great industrial coun'
tries of the world.
The rising cost of labor in Great
Britain already has placed England
at a disadvantage with the United
States in the Italian coal trade and II
Sweden could produce coal in guam
titles warranting export she doubtless
would become a competitor of both
the United States and England.
The coal contained in the newly
discovered Swedish deposits Is said to
| have a caloric value so per CEN
greater than that of British coal ant
it is stated that it can be produced
for about $575 a ton.

OPPORTUNITIES
FOR YOUNG MEN
IN new MARINE

SAN FRANCISCO, April % (by AS
ISOLATED Press) .-More merchant ma
rine officers are needed today than
during the war in order properly to
man the several hundred new ships
that will. slide down the ways and be
placed in commission during the next
few months. New classes are OPEN
ing in the United States Shipping
Boards free navigation school here,
and It's free school in marine engineer
ing in Berkeley, and the recruiting
service of the Shipping Board has
made an appeal to men to enter into
the work.
1T is important that we anticipate
this need" said c. w. Saunders, chief
of Section of the Shipping Board,
with headquarters at 120 Market
street, "and prepare to supply the
men, as the proper operation of our
merchant fleet is just as necessary
now, if not more so, if we look to the
future of this nations welfare, of
which the new merchant marine is a
vital part, as it was during the war,
when every ship meant battle won.
What the Shipping Board really
needs now are men who see in the
merchant service all it's vast possibili-
ties, and who join not only for the
! fine purpose of helping this country
establish prestige as maritime power
but because they know that by proper
effort in this service they can gain
for themselves a profitable vocation.
Each of these hundreds of ships will
need eight licensed officers, four on
deck and four in the engine depart
ment."
Applicants with two years sea serv.
ice and physically sound will be ad
mitted to the new navigation class at
once, after the approval of their ap
plications by the local inspectors OF

the course, if attended during the day
Is from four to six weeks
Men of certain amount of me-
chanical or engineering experience, not
necessarily at sea, are qualified for
the four weeks day course in marine
engineering, subject to the approval
Of their applications by the steamboat
inspectors.
Graduates requiring additional sea
service before being qualified for their
examination for license will bssen,
out by the sea service bureau as re.

Graduates of the navigation school
passing their examinations before the

REBEL AGAINST
EASTERN RULE
OF ATHLETICS

SEATTLE, April % (by Associated
Press).-War against what has been
termed absolute control of college
sports by the eastern National Col
legiate Association has been opened
by Coach Claude J. Hunt, athletic di-
rector of the University of Washing
ton here. The association, Hunt re-
Gently asserted, is "a farce" and repre-
sents only a few of the eastern insti-
tutions.
Recognition for western and middle
western colleges and universities is
desired by Hunt. He hopes the ma
tional association will be forced to
admit western institutions into its
councils. If this is not done he thinks
the institutions west of the Missis-
sippi should form an association of
their own and make it as strong as
the national body.
ton west of the Mississippi just as
we'll as they can have one in the
east" Hunt said recently. "The pres
ent association is national in name
only and is completely dominated by
Harvard and Yale. What they say
goes. The schools of the west do not
have look-in"
Hunt asserted that almost all the
association meetings are held in New
York, too far for many western dele,
gates. If the association is to be made
national in scope the meetings should
be held in different parts of the coun.
try so representatives Of all institu'
tons can attend.

To Plant Game Fish.

PLACERVILLE, Cal, April % (by

Rod and Gun Club will plant two mil
lion trout in the streams of Ell Dorado
county the coming season, according
to present plans of the organization.
Last season 100000 trout were
planted in these streams, but owing to
the increasing popularity of the
county as resort for fishermen the
club feels that many more must be
planted if the reputation of the county
is to be maintained.
