BROWN NOT GUILTY IN SECOND
ACTION; BRYNE CASE DISMISSED

kota's 10000 illiterates should be a
comparatively simple task
[. When the 10000 illiterates are con-
sidered as block, the job seems
staggering, but this means an average
of less than 200 to a county. That
means that each county school organ
ization must, during the next two
years, search out, card index and in
struct 200 men women and children
who cannot now read and write.
Viewed in that light, it is far from a
hopeless job. 1t should call for lit
tie additional expense in the way of
instruction, school equipment and in
structors at least. The principal
job is to list the prospective pupils
and prevail upon them to make the
necessary effort
With Miss Nelson's energy acting
as the driving force, the battle is
half won. Certainly the campaign
should have the active cooperation
of every good citizen. We should
take Miss Nelson up on the promise to
"burn illiteracy in 1924 and have the
president of the United States here
to help US do it."
Surely we could ask no better adj
vertisement for the state than the
title Of being one state which has no
inhabitant over 10 years Of age who
cannot read and write.
