Hyde's Stand on Education.
"In his formal Cape Girardeau
speech. Col Hyde makes this charge
Our public school system ranks thirty
fourth among the states Of he Union.
This charge, l absolutely deny rs in
accurate. mfounded and unsubstan-
tiated. II has been disproyen time aud
time again and nobody knew this bet
Ter than Col. Hyde at the time he
made 1t.
'fProf. s. A. Baker, himself a Repub-
llcan, and one Of the most widely
known educators in the United States,
a man who IS considered authority on
all matters concerning education, has
pointed out the falIacy of any such a
calumny and travesty upon the schools
and the school teachers of this state.
Prof. Baker says in a public address;
- wish to contradict a report thai
is common aud has spread far outside
Of the State and resulted In great In
jury to Missouri, namely. that Missouri
ranks thirty-second in education among
he states Of the Union. This report
was made by Il committee Of educators
who took the salaries Of county super
~intendents and the salaries OF teach
ers, the ap%portionment Of money made
for school purposes. and a few other
items and averaged them and got thir
ty-two as the result. II is my opinion
that the committee never intended TO
say that Missouri ranks thirty-secOnd
in education.
Missouri, in reality, stands among
the upper third Of The states OF tie
linton, having the lowest per cent OF
il~literacy. and literacy, In my Judg
ment, should be the test Of all educa-
tional effort, nllterscy has been de
rreasing in Missouri for the past thirty
wears. The census Of 1890 showed the
per cent of ilileracy of all classes IN
Missouri. ten years Of age and v II
to be OIL. In 1900, ten years later, this
had been decreased to 81. In 1910 the
per cent of miteracy was 43. and when
lie census Of 1920 has been taken the
state will have a much lower percent
age Of imiteracy than at present.

to that Of Sims who TOOK ground that

to records OF officers who served ashore.

lished in the West End News, has also
appeared in your paper, and the peoples
paper the Herald.
therefore request that the public be
given an opportunity through you to
read our defense.
Whatever private interview or cor
~respondence Miss Hendrickson might
have had with Mr.. Jackson. and which
he so ungentlemaniy made public matter,
must not be considered as a back down.
p If Miss Hendrickson did not make the
statements appearing in the News rela-
StiVe to our lecture on class hatred, L did,
and will not move one INCH to retract
same.
And if all boastful pirates made in pri-
vate were similarly published, we would
be impressed that the great Cesar had
the Government and all in authority
trembling With fear.
Bat we know that AMERICA never
took water and AMERICA never will.
Now | say to Mr.. Jackson that | am
here to defend Miss Hendrickson wrong
or right. just as his disciples defend him
wrong or right.
We seek no further controversy, for
he has the advantage Of a newspaper.
and we have not.
| hold no malice, and IS | understand
he wants an apology, | repeat my will
ingness for the good Of the people and
with justice to him.
But | must be convinced of the wrong
have done him upon a public platform,
and according to such a decision handed
down by intelligent JUDGES.
Until then | charge Mr.. Jackson with
blocking our work for the welfare Of the
people Of all classes, because of personal
grievances against me.
Thanking you kindly
