To Rescue Confederate Records

VIRGINIA Sons OF Confederate Veterans
may safely claim the most loyal CO.
operation OF Richmond people on the occa-
sion OF the tag day which will be held to adj
vance the work OF assembling and prescrv-
ing the records Of Virginians in the Con-
federate navy. The tag day has been sat
for Friday Of this week. and the funds con-
tribu'ed will be used by workers who will
make every cent count toward the full ac-
complishment OF this fine historical pur-
pose.
Other Southern States are undertaking
the same work here proposed for Virginia.
Individual records OF the men who served
in the Confederate navy may be assembled.
II is hoped. at least by States, il not more
centrally. 1t Is stated that upwards Of 500
Virginia families ire in possession OF rec
ords. fragmentary or complete. bearing on
the service OF Confederate seamen. Some
thing more than an invitation. however, is
necessary to the disclosure of these price
less documents. With money to support
diligent search and canvass. a very large

soon would he stored safely in the keeping
OF the Commonwealth. Rchmond's oppor-

HlitCraCy rs n Tax

a LONG with the mud tax, the i!iteracy
tax is ono OF the burdens upon the
progress of Virginia Harris Hart the SUI
perntendent OF Public instruction, esti-
mates this tax at s25,0OO,0OO n year, based
upon the statement of former Secretary
Lane, Of the Interior Department, that tho
economic value of an lliterate is so cents
per day less than that OF an individual who
can read and write.
Mr.. Harris calculations probably are very
conservative, for in this calculation he uses
the literacy figures of the Federal census
for 1920. AS he points ont. if the army
draft statistics are used. the total OF unfor-
tunates who are thus handicapped in tho
struggle Of life is four times as large The
War Department classed us illiterate those
men unable to read and understand news
papers and to write home inteligible let
tiers In the English language while TO be
so classed in the United States census the
individual must admit his deficiency to the
enumerator.
There is, however, much hope for the
future in the comparisons made in Mr..
Harts statement quoted in The Times Dis
patch yesterday. In the decade from 1910
10 l'2o the percentage of illiteracy among
persons 10 years OF age and over was re-
duced from So to il2 and in individuals
between 10 and 20 years of age il was re-

Virginia banks. Reference to tho number

in The Times-Dispatch reporting the cleo
