Trenton, Mo-, June 3.-"Too many

failure of the Fidelity State Bank

Ben Turner, state bank examiner,

Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1920-02-28
REORGANIZATION

Congress spends most of it's time nova
days in the discussion Of Boshevism, al
though without noticeable effect on the Boil
shevist flood that is submerging eastern and
southern Europe. Any topic whatsoever be-
comes elevant and timely if it can be shown
or asserted to have a bearing upon Bolshe-
vism If Bolshevism were only soluble in
oratory it would have disappeared long ago.
Take, for example, the question Of litter
acy. 1t was something of shock to be told
by Senator Phipps on January 10Th that
" the percentage of illiterates in the army
during the war has been carefully figured out
by the Acknowledgement, whose records show
that 249 per cent. were either totally or
relatively illiterate, the test being whether
the soldier could read newspaper or write
simple letter. Statistics compiled by the
Secretary of the Interior prove conclusively
that there are over 100000 people in this
country over ten years of age who can
neither read, write, nor speak our language"
Senator Phipps had friend who went
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1920-02-28

abroad as captain of an infantry company
and who informed him that three months be-
fore sailing his troop included men who spoke
fifteen different languages, and that he was
compelled to employ eight interpreters We
may readily sympathize with a company COM
mander whose orders in battle must be in
terpreted by eight linguists
Now this is very interesting and very
important educational problem and all the
more so when we realize that there is a very
considerable number of American-born citi-
zens who can neither read nor write Eng
lish and some who can not even speak it.
But Senator PhlppS was not content to pre-
sent 1t to the Senate as an educational prob
lem Presumably he felt that it needed a
little spice to make it paatable to the
senatorial taste. And so we find him plung-
ing headlong into the subject of Boshevism.
1t is the ignorant and the foreign-born peo-
pie, the people who can not understand our
language, he says, who fall prey to the
Bolshevist. Educate them, and they will be
Bolshevist no more. Wean them from anar-
chism with the First Reader. Ent1ce them
from radicaism with language lessons And
incidentally spend some $35OOO,OOO in the
doing OF it, create a new government de-
partment, and add some thousands of teach
ers, inspectors, and examiners to a system
already intricate and cumbrous. 1t was
project well calculated to tempt the sena-
torial mind by it's vitas Of law-miking and
patronage.
But there were some senators, although
very few who doubted alike the accuracy of
the diagnosis and the efficacy of the remedy
Senator Harrison pointed out that illiteracy
did not necessarily point in the direction Of
Bolshevism nor education in the direction Of
political sanity. He himself knew very many
fine Americans whose reading and writing
left much to be desired, while at the same
time he was painfully aware that "some of
the most dangerous scoundrels to American
institutions in America today are highly
educated" Andrew jackson left school
when he was thirteen years Of age, Henry
Clay when he was 'quite young" and Dan
lei Webster when he was still of tender age.
1t would be beautiful sight, said Senator
Harrison, to herd together all the Mississippi
negroes who could not read or write and
chase them into the schoolhouse, but he had
his doubts as to the results 1t would be a
beautiful sight to see the eight millions of
illiterates throughout the country rounded
up, corralled, and stockaded. But would it
really stop Bolshevism? Would those eight
million people become better Americans be-
cause the educational whip had been laid on
their backs? Would they be more loyal
Americans because henceforth they could
read the Nation and theh New Republic?
And what would you do in case these people
refused to become Americanized by sheer
strength, so to speak? No penalty had been
mentioned in the bill. The penalty was to
be left to the states, and "some state may
provide death penalty for the OffenSe''
Senator Frelinghuysen Of New Jersey was
similarly minded to Senator Harrison. He
read a letter from one Of the great educa-
