T. Five, Million Intoxicated 81
The Vice Chairman of the Minnesota
Legion Americanism Commission who
has charge of Education and Boys
Work is Michael B. Hurley of Pine
City. AS ammunition for Legion
speakers during American Education
Week, here are some facts furnished
them by Mr.. Hurley ''In 1920,
100000 residents of the United STATES
confessed that they had received
no schooling whatever and could not
read in any language. One fourth of
Vic lliOu WIN 1OOpOllOCu w CltC I'll al y
call could not read an American news
paper or write letter home. Of our
illiterates, 81 per cent are native born.
Over one million of our illiterates
], 100000 in fact-are white and are the
offspring of white native-born parents.
Between 1910 and 1920 the number of
illiterates increased in twelve states.
Every, state in the Union numbers it's
illiterates by the thousands North as
well as South. Minnesota has 34,4S7.
We of the Minnesota Legion must do
our bit to remedy this blot on our
great state" e r
Equal Opportunity For All 49,
Continuing, Comrade Hurley states:
In trying to solve this problem of IL
literacy we must remember place of
birth often determines whether child
shall have an opportunity to acquire
that most elemental opportunity, the
ability to read and write. If a boy or
girl is born in a country community he
undergoes four times the risk of reach
ing adulthood lacking the ability to
read or write that he would have if
born in city. The 1920 federal CEN
sus shows that there were 100000
native born illiterates in our country
that were the direct result of made
|quate rural schools. In one state, III
1920, seventy school districts levied no
school tax, with the result that many
schools were not opened at all. An
other state survey shows that, on the
average, country children receive less
than two-thirds as much elementary
education as city children. The ques
-tion starring squarely in the face Of
every Legion post and Legion Aux
iliary unit of Minnesota is "What are
We doing to, see that the boys and girls
of our community receive an nnfet-
tered start and fair chance in the
race of life 2" s,,a7 4rLe 48g

LATE ONE MONDAY MORNING

I
It was late one Monday morning,
I awoke with sinking heart;
For the alarm clocks heavy ringing,
Had failed to do it's part.
l knew from past experience,
What trials beset my path;
l hurried with my dressing,
Neglecting the daily bath.
AsI struggled with my shoe strings,
And hurried with my hair;
you'll have to make it snappy,"'
Came a warning from the stair. =.
Fastening with my breakfast, I'D ?
Grabbing my coat and hat;
And running from home to school,
I arrived too late at that.

I grabbed my book and pencil
Made dash for the history room;
When Mrs. Richards, smiled and said,
