 FIGURES IN ILLITERACY
 Prof. l.. l.. Yam has completed his report on the school census and gives out some interesting data in regard to the educational status of the city. Ex- tracts from the report show that there are only five white illiterates between the ages of 10 and 2l years in the city, one female and four males
 Between the ages of 8 and 21 years there were thirty illiterates enumerated. The compulsory educational state law is enforced with children of years of age, which makes these figures signif- cant Prof Yam states that there are
 
 whites, but the number is comparatively small.
 Another interesting statement in re- gard to the census report is that there are 64 whites in the city under 21 years of age who have completed the seventh grade and over and 3S5 negroes who hold this record. Prof. Yam is much gratified over the showing made against illiteracy in the city.
