SOME FIGURES
OF INTEREST.
CENSUS BUREAU SENDS OUT
INTERESTING FIGURES ON
MINNESOTA.

According to the census of 1870,
81 per cent, or over three-tenths
of the people in the State Of Min
nesota, are either infants or chill
dren under 10 years of age; 9.Z
per cent are young people 10 to IL
years old; 1873 per cent are men
and women in the prime of life,
being from 20 to "A years old /;
while 2O.8 per cent, being As years
of age and over, are well along IN
middle life if they have not
reached old age.
The urban population as COM
pared with the rural shows some
rather striking differences in age,
the percentage 20 to "A years of
age being 43.7 for the urban popu-
lation as compared with 34.9 for
the rural, while the percentage I'M
der Is years of age is 26.8 in the
urban population as against 34.6
in the rural. These differences may
indicate larger families of children
in the country than in the city,
but more probably indicate also
the effect of the immigration to
the city of foreigners and also OF
native population coming from the
country and thereby increasing the
active adult population of the cities
at the expense of the rural dis
tricts.
Almost three-ffths of the popu-
lation, 57.8 per cent, are old
enough to vote, being 81 or over;
and in the class the men outnum-
Der the women in the ratio Of ia
TO 100. The males of military age,
Is to A, constitute 42.3 per cent
of the male population and 22.I
per cent of the total population.
The census also shows that there
are 335,458 children to ID years
of age in the state of Minnesota
and of this number 314,905 or
93.9 per cent were reported as
attending school. In. 1910 the per-
centage attending school was $50
thus indicating a slight improve
ment as regards school attendance
between 1910 and 1920. Of the
children IA and Is years of age
in 1920, 1872 per cent were at
tending school and of those 16 and
IT years of age 42.5 per cent.
The percentage of children at
tending schools was approximately
the same in the cities and in the
country districts, the percentage
for children in the urban popula-
ton z to Is years of age being
94.5 while in the rural population
it was 93.5. urban" according
to the census definition includes
all towns or cities and other incor-
porated places of $500 population
or more.
There are 34,487 illiterate per-
sons 10 years of age and over in
the state of Minnesota, "illiterate"
meaning, unable to write. OF this
total 26,242 are foreign-born
whites. In the total population 10
years of age and over the percent
age of illiteracy is 1.8, which, it
is gratifying to note, shows di-
minuation since 1910, when it was
80. For the foreign-born whites
the percentage is 5.4.
By counties the percentage Of
illiteracy ranges from 7.6 in Itasca
County to 0,3 in Big Stone
County.

came in double measure. The RE-

Several years ago those who
had charge of the welfare and des-
tiny of the l.. o. O.. M. came to
the conclusion that fraternal soci-
cites could not much longer Justify
their existence by merely furnish
ing to their members selfish land
individual benefits, advantages and
pleasures, but if they were to con-
tinue to be a factor they must do
something worth while to solve
some of our great national prop
lens. AS they gathered to con-
slider this question they opened the
cover of the Great Book and turn
ing to the gospel of st. James
found this definition Of religion:

this to visit the fatherless and the
widows in their affliction, and to
keep ourselves unspotted from the
world. They heard the cry that
goes up every day in every Ameri-
can community of the despairing
widow who, falling at the feet of
God, cries out in the agony of the
soul: ooh, God, don't desert these
little ones: they are as much your
children as they are mine; it is
not my fault that I am left a
widow, am doing the best can
for them; Oh, God, save them
from a life of poverty, ignorance,
vice and crime And so they de-
termined to consecrate all of the
power, the influence, the assets
and the eagerness and activities
of the L. o. @. M. to the idea
that every boy and girl is entitled
to at least high school education
and a vocation or a trade. They
acquired an estate of 1,023 acres
in the beautiful Fox River valley.
35 miles west from Chicago, with
the privilege of acquiring more as
necessity demands.
