HEAR AN ADDRESS
ON ILLITE RACY


Monday afternoon, b. c. Her
nandc2, collector Of internal reve-
nue.. spoke to the boys at the fed
eral board training center. He said
that We want to train the eX-serv-
ice man to become a useful Amer
lean. in case he was disabled, 80
that instead Of becoming a liabili-
~ upon his fellowmen he will be-
come an asset. He also stated that
during the war approximately 10
per cent of the men were practl-
caIly ilIiterate, and with our facili-
ties that shouldn't be true in this
country.
In order to keep up our standard
as one of the foremost nations OF
the world we must be educated up
to the letter, the speaker said.
Although we are one of the lead
ing nations Of the world, other ma
tons are ahead of us in the mat
ter of education, that is the reason
we are getting so many lecturers
from abroad. In order to hold our
place among the leading nations
We want to first become 100 per
cent Americans,
How should we first attempt to
do this?" the speaker asked. by
learning to speak and write the
English language.
1--WE have been somewhat slow
about that. We confess there are
some places we have lived where
we have not had advantages, but l
dare say there are not more than
10 per cent that haven't had the
opportunities l had when l was a
boy. The government is furnishing
a great opportunity, and the dis
abled men should take advantage
of this. We are trying TO educate
our people SO that they may be-
come 100 per cent efficient. There
Is not another country that is do
ing as much as we are for our dis
abled soldiers"
