How to Use Telephone :.
 in Case of Emergency

The telephone is an invaluable aid in emergencies if property used. It is used many times daily in summon ing help in cases of lawlessness, ac- cident and fire and is, in fact, the only means of quickly securing the police and firemen in some of our small communities. But many persons by improper use of the telephone, are deprived of the prompt aid it can bring.

Report Of Resolutions Committee
At the conclusion of this session OF
the Illiteracy Conference of the
States held under the auspices of the
Illiteracy Commission of the Nation
al Education Association, and com
posed OF representative leaders and
administrators in education and in
civic, political and welfare organiza'
tions from the states Of Arizona, Cali.
fornia, Idaho, Montana, Neveda, New
Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington,
Wyoming, your committee on Reso.
lutions begs leave to submit for your
earnest consideration and endorse
ment the following statement of prin-
ciples and proposals:
Knowing as we do from we'll at
tested facts which have been scien-
tifically studied throughout the ma
tion over a period of several years,
particularly since our participation in
the world war, the great menace that
illiteracy is to health, morals. relig-
ion, commercial and industrial pro-
gress, and the very safety. Of the ma
ton iself both In peace and war,
and knowing as We do that it is
wholly unnecessary as is evidenced
by It's approximate elimination by
other civilized nations, we declare it
to be nothing less than an ineXcusable
handicap and national disgrace. un-
der the blighting influences OF which
we are no longer willing to live and
work. We therefore pledge ourselves
to the prompt elimination, the entire
wiping out, OF every evidence of il
literacy on the part Of every person
within the nation whose mental cap
acity renders him educable in the es-
sentials of literacy.
In keeping with the above objective
and definite determination, we earn
estly recommend and urge:
That the responsibility for the H.
literacy of the people shall he recng-
nized definitely by those res)naible
governmentally and educationalIy as
a problem to be born jointly fen fl
nancial standpoints by local com.
munities state wide effort, and ma
tional support, and that ways rmst
be found to distribute the burden
equitably. Because the baneful in.
fluences Of illiteracy are felt beyond
any local community where it exists,
extending its insiduous damaging in.
fluences throughout the state and ma
tion, it should not be a mere local
community responsibility. Often the
largest problem in combating Hitter
acy exists, due to the presence Of
large numbers of recent immi-
grants in those communities possess
ing the least possibility of raising ad.
eQuate public funds to set up ways
and means successfully to eliminate
it. This problem therefore should be
generously supported from state
funds and likewise from national
funds. In furtherance OF this end
we therefore, urge the immediate en-.
actment into law by Congress OF
the United States provisions where,
by funds from the national govern.
ment shall be provided to combat this
insiduous weakness so wide spread
throughout our nation to the extent
provided for in the demonstrating
Bill now pending before the Congress
of the United States. Likewise we
pledge ourselves to use our influence
