The Doom of Illiteracy

Incomplete compilations by the census bureau
show that illiteracy is fast disappearing in the
United States. Early reports are so flattering
that the bureau of education believes that this
menace to democracy will soon give way to the
perfect enlightenment which is the best guar
dian Of our rights. Reports from the big cities
where thousands of aliens have their homes
have not been included but it is believed that
appreciate progress will be noted there also.
The prevalence of illiteracy in the United
States became glaringly apparent when the ma
ton called its men to the military service. The
number of soldiers who could not read and write,
or were so poorly schooled that they were only a
few degrees removed from the state of iliteracy
was alarmingly large that the military authori-
ties had to establish schools in the cantonments
Since then, determined efforts have been
made everywhere in the United States to elevate
the scholastic attainments of all citizens to the
point where they at least read and write. If
the final returns of the census bureau on this
point substantiate the early indication, the cam
paign has not been waged in vain.
Both the federal and state governments have
popularized education in the last decade in a
marked manner. The scope of this work goes far
beyond mere reading and writing. 1t seeks to
acquaint our citizens with the history of our
country and with scores of topics that have both
cultural and vocational value.
The home reading courses of the federal
bureau of education, for instance, recently pub
lished reading course on foreign trade, which
is of practical value, not only to the man who
engages in overseas commerce, but also to the
man in the inland city. "A knowledge of local,
regional, national, and international economic re-
sources, broadly defined to include labor, trans
portation and capital, as we'll as natural
resources" says the announcement, lis becoming

The lady, with her little gun, does
murder with smile, because her lover
:iresome one, has bored her quite
while. He doesn't wear his whiskers
right, he is a careless toff and SO,
some soft and balmy night, she calmly
bumps him off. And when they bring
her into court. the laws ancentral
coop, the jurynien, each one a sport,
acquit her with whoop. And then
she feels that DUTY calls in on uncer-

halls she ought to draw some bones.
She wants to teach our boys and girls
that vice their souls will harm, that
homelv virtues are the pearls, and sins
a false alarm. And while she's guard

Twenty-Five books are listed in the series. The
man who wishes to become acquainted with this

The work of the extension divisions of our
state universities is commendable in the manner
in which it gives interested persons an opportun-
ity to broaden their education. The latest report
of the Indiana university extension division
shows that 456 package libraries were mailed to
clients, 66 requests for assistance in preparing
club programs were filled, II lists of reference
were sent out, and ID inquiries were referred
elsewhere for answer.
No one justly can say he has no opportunity
to acquire schooling in the United States.
Abundant chances are at hand, and all that an
enterprising person has to do is to avail himself
of the courses. The satisfactory increase IN vo-
cational studies, as we'll as the establishment of
night Schools permits the training of hand and
mind.
Every advance in the popularization of edu-
cation by the state and federal governments up
lifts the intellectual status of citizenship and
makes it more efficient in the discharge of its
vocational and political duties The money spent
for this purpose is wise investment which will
bring dividends in better citizenship as well as
in the increase of the national wealth.

More Business in Government

The passage of a bill by the senate incorporat-
ing budget system for the federal government
LAYS the foundation for reform which will con-
tribute toward reducing the cost of operating
the government.
A similar bill is pending in the house. Dis
crepancies between the views of the senators and
representatives can be reconciled in conference
after the house has adopted the measure. The
representatives favor the measure, so that ulti-
mate presentation of the measure for the presi-
dents signature seems assured.
1t will be the first time in our national his
tory that budget system will regulate federal
expenditures. The new measure will not curb
all extravaganza and waste, but it will at least
fix the responsibility, permitting the country to
check back and correct errors.

HOLM o. BURSUM is

by Guthrie Smith

Holm y. Bursum, OF Socorro, ma
tional committeeman, and for many
years one OF the Republican leaders
of New Mexico, was this afternoon
appointed United States senator, to
succeed A. B. Fall, elevated to Pre-
siaent Harding's cabinet.
Shortly after the commission was
signed Gov. Mechem authorized X

OF Baca. Gallegos and Hartell. to find
the new senator and escort him to
the platform. Bursum received a
big ovation as he walked to the
speakers stand, accompanied by the
Ctlamittee.
Speaker Clancy introduced the SEN
ator as one OF New MeXico's great
est statesmen, always the friend OF
the people and one who might be
depended upon to work for the best
interests OF the state.
Senator Bursum spoke briefly, but
with feeling He declared he was
keenly appreciative OF the warm well
come and reception. Il would rather
possess the feeling OF having the
friendship of my fellowcitizens and
their respect, than all the offices
under the heavens" he said He
paid a high tribute to senator Fall,
who, he said, has been called to
hioher service.
Under motion carried by the house,
Speaker Clancy made Baca, Wins

4 resolution commenting Gov, Me
chem for his appointment of Bur-
sum.
THE Sage of Socorro." as he is
frequently called, had the kepubli-
can forces of New Mexico united

appointment. Though never in any
sense an active candidate for the
appointment, many friends were
busy. His appointment was recon-
mended by the county organization
Of u OF the p counties. by more
than 80 members of the state CEN
trail committee, and by several hun
dred individual Republicans, who
sent their opinion 10 Gov. Mechem
