Decrease in Names
Juvenile IlliterateS

DIR. Augustus o. Thomas. State
superintendent of public schools, has
just completed the work of taking
the school census of the juvenile il
literates in Maine. The census of
1910 gave Maine an illiteracy of 290S
between the ages of seven and y
years. So far the census just taken
reduces this number to SAL of which
number 35 are recorded as mentally
deficient.
Supt. Thomas hopes to carry suf-
ficient education to these children
within the next year to relieve the
Juvenile illiteracy list of the State.
In taking the census the name of the
child and his parents with the ad :
dress is given. The compulsory edu-
cation act of Maine if carefully en-
forced will prevent any new crop of
juvenile illiterates.
