Pershina Pleads With Veterans to
Wage Fight on lHiteracy.

Washington. = Denouncing as a
"crime, shame and a disgrace" condi-
tions that permitted more than 80 per
cent of the young men of draft age to
be classified as illiterate, Gen. John j.
Pershing, in talk to the soldier pa
tients at Walter Reed Army Hospital,
Washington, made an appeal for such
action as would impress upon commun-
tiles the obligations the latter owed to
the youth Of the United States in edu-
cation. His startling disclosures also
constitute one of the strongest possi-
bic arguments for compulsory educa-
tion, at least up to certain age. This
appeal by Gen. Pershing, and the lift
eracy to which he called attention, it is
pointed out, emphasizes the import
4, ance of federal department of edu-
cation, one which would give moral
and financial support to the states in
their campaigns against ignorance.
The Washington Post, in an editor
ial discussing the report of the House
Committee on Education, through
Chairman Fess, recommending the pas
sage of the Department of Education
measure, drives home some of the facts
with respect to illiteracy contained in
the report. The editorial says in part
"It (the report) places the United
States as ninth in rank among the CIV
ilized nations in the matter Of educa-
tion, which will come as a surprise to
a majority of the people, who held the
idea that this country was leader in
literacy. 1t also quotes former Secre-
tary Of the Interior Franklin X. Lane
to the effect that illiteracy alone is re-
spOnsible for an economic loss of |
$S25, 100000 year in this country.
1T is carefully explained that the
pending bill does not attempt to- set up
standards or to exercise any author |
ity over the conduct of the schools. 1t |
seeks through government co-opera-
tion and aid to encourage education |
throughout the country and leaves to |
the states all details with respect to
courses Of study, plans and methods.
Nor does it appropriate any money,
but fixes limit Of $1OO,O00,0O0 year
which Congress may appropriate, or
any part of 1t, and the states can only
secure portions of an appropriation
by complying with the provisions of
the act after the method provided in
the federal good roads act.
For years there has been an insist
ent demand for the establishment of
department of education in the govern
ment, with view to co-ordinating the
federal agencies already existing for
the furtherance Of education and to ex-
tend the scope of the work."
