MOuIders of
Citizenship

0NE reason why Education
III Week should have a deep ap-
peal to Americans is the fact
our national percentage of illiteracy
is still distressingly high.
The latest figures for the ten
nations supposed to be among the
leaders in enlightenment place the
United States not where it should
be, at the top, but at the bottom
of the list.
Germany leads, with one-tenth
of one per cent of illiteracy; Switz-
erland comes next, with one-half of
one per cent the Netherlands, Fin
land, Norway and Sweden follow,
ranging from six-tenths of one per
cent to one per cent; and then the
jumps are rapid-Scotland, 3.5 per
cent; France, 40 per cent; Eng
land, 5.8 per cent, and the United
States, SIX PER CENT.
All lllICIdtC pCIbOH uOcS uOI
necessarily mean an ignorant per-
son, for there is knowledge not
CLEANED from print. But illiteracy
is a blind which shuts from the
mind much that every mind should
know.
Until the handicaps are lifted
which this high percentage of in
ability to read and write places
upon both those thus limited and
upon the communities in which
they live, every week should be
education week throughout the
United States.
We are too much inclined to
leave the schools out of our
thoughts until some personal spe-
cial interest or grievance brings
them forward.
Dealing as they do with the
childhood of the nation during the
major part of the waking hours,
and carrying continually more of
the burden of shaping child
thoughts, habits and character, the
schools need the benefit of intelli-
gent understanding from all adults,
of constructive criticism and, most
of all, of sympathetic help.
The Washington herald., 1922-12-06
Early Buying
For Xmas

"HOUGH the "shop early"
slogan for Christmas means
i much to many people it is
often misunderstood or ignored.
The benefits of that slogan, if
acted upon, are widespread. The
purchasing public is the principal
beneficiary. The Christmas pur-
chases are made before the holiday
rush begins. Buyers have better
stocks to select from, greater satis-
faction in their relations with the
clerks, and the certainty of prompt
deliveries. There is no jamming,
confusion, upsetting of nerves, and
the verbal tilts that are inevitable
when storekeepers, clerks, and shop
pers are under the hurry up"
pressure.
The store workers come next IN
the benefits that all share. They do
their best when they have time to
serve. 1t is pleasure to them to
make purchasers contented. But,
after all, they are human. If
pressed too hard the wear and tear
becomes manifest; irritable buyers
"start something" and there are
sharp replies. The strain of many
days of hard and fast work tells
upon the human machine. 1t is
only fair that buyers should have
consideration for the thousands of
clerks and other workers.
The merchants credit side from
early shopping is in the assurance
that his customers have been served
satisfactorily; that few if any have
gone away feeling i'll toward his es-
tablishment; that his clerks have
not been subjected to strains that
have temporarily swept them from
their normal poise, thereby lessen
ing their efficiency and their cour-
tesy.

The Automobile
and Prosperity
GORGE w. HINMAN recently

" EORGE w. H1NMAN recently
Il. quoted from the Berlin Eco
~ nomic Monthly that 1.-THE
number of motor cars in the country
today is the measure of the people s
prosperity"
At least, this is one test, and its
application is significant.
The Economic Monthly gives us
these figures:
In the United States one person
out of 10 has machine; in Germany,
one out of 666; in Great Britain, one
out of 81 in France, one out of 176; +;
in Belgium, one out Of 22S; in Italy,
one person out of $50.
Judged by the automobile test, the
most prosperity is displayed by the
United States, England, France,
Canada, Belgium, Denmark and Nor
way, while the worst business con-
dition is found in Germany, Italy
and Spain.
This test also shows that Mexico
is better off than Brazil, and the
Argentine more prosperous than
Switzerland.
There is something to be said for
this sort of index, for it certainly
takes money to buy automobiles, and
money is rather a fair test of
prosperity.

FOrgiUing Debtors

TT must give one sense of pos
sessing all the spiritual and
i material wealth of the world
to wave your hand-just like that
and forgive, vicariously, all the
European debtors of Uncle Sam.
President Hibben, of Princeton,
did something like that in an ex-
alted moment of his Thanksgiving
Day address. He conceived our
cancellation of those eleven billions
as possible proof of the rise of our
nation to the level of its spiritual
opportunity.
Getting down to concrete cases,
we would like to suggest that these
ardent forgivers organize Cancel
latiOn Campaign. Then let them see
whether the people will as readily
give up their Liberty Bonds as they
bought them gladly during the war.
These European debts are owed, not
to a mythical Uncle Sam, but to
millions of individual Americans.
1t cannot too often be asserted
that the remission of those billions
would merely mean their release
for militaristic purposes and would
place a premium upon that deep
seated mania which in the European
jungle is still glorifed as War.

The Defense of France

TRANCE represents a type of
civilization which the world
i is unwilling to lose. We are
all interested in the preservation
and prosperity of the French ma
ton.
But the idea that the safety of
France depends upon her army or
upon the skill of her diplomats is
an hallucination of backward minds.
What France needs most of all is
to get rid of her spirit of vengeance
and fear and to take up her prob
lens IN cooperation with Germany,
her ancient enemy, so that both
may work together for the welfare
of the whole people in the two
countries.
What France also needs is to look
to her economic and moral condi-
tions to see if possibly her greatest
danger, which is that of depopula-
ton, can be estopped.
There were 10000 fewer children
born in France this year than last,
according to figures published in
the Paris newspaper LIE journal.
1t is useless to put on more
armor and equip herself with more
weapons of conflict so long as this
open sore is uncured.
What France needs is more babies
and fewer soldiers.

CIVILIZATION creeps for
ward with painful SLOW
ness. Sometimes 1t makes a
tremendous hullabaloo over an
idea or an invention or a dis
covery or an innovation. and
thinks It has bounded ahead.
Presently It finds itself just
where It was before, barely
holding its own.
At other times, amid turmoil
and distracting agitation. real
progress is made, but passes
unnoticed until a future his
torian points 1t out. Such a
step was made the other day
when the Turks deposed the
Sultan as head Of the Moslem
faith, and declared that here
after church and State were
to be two separate institutions.
NO one has ever questioned
~ the profound effect Of re-
ligion upon mankind. 1t Is a
splendid influence. Carried to
the point Of fanaticism It does
harm. Within its proper
bousis, it is invariably benef-
icent.
But every experiment that
has ever been made to unite
a religion with a government
has led to disaster and ended
in failure. 1t was tried In
Babylonia and Assyria. II was
tried in Rome and in the Mid
die Ages. 1t is only in recent
times that the countries Of
Europe freed themselves from
alliance with the churches. 1t
is hopeful to see Turkey profit
by the lesson Of history.
DELIGION deals with life
~ h re after. Government
must deal with life to-day.
Theoretically, 1t would be a
splendid thing If the two could
be combined. In practice, how
ever, 1t has always turned out
that government became Wis
ionary and feeble while re-
ligion became autocratic and
sordid.
Fortunately we have profited
by this lesson. The line be-
tween Church and State is
clearly drawn in this country.
Every man may worship as he
will and no church may die
tate polltlcal doctrlnes TO the
Government.
Those who worry about the
activities of the Ku Klux Klan
or similar nonsensical organi-
cations that are ambitious to
control either the country's
government or its religion,
may sleep in peace. Because
history has taught us that the
foundation whereon they build
Is neither sound nor stable.
And therefore, the higher they
grow, the nearer they ap-
proach the moment when they
topple over.
