Yankee club have risked a fortune
and taken much criticism in their

many years the Giants have been the

FORESTS OF THE FUTURE

Fifty years ago New York pro-
'duced more lumber from its forests
than any other State. Now il produces
less than one-tenth Of the country's
supply.
This is partly due, Of course, to
the nations increased use of lum-
her, but the greater reason is the
wanton destruction of the forests
without replacing them.
States that are planting trees on a
big scale are preparing much wealth
for their future residents.

WAR on iLLlTFRACY

At conference Of educators in
Chicago last week it was ecided that
every effort should he put forth TO
wipe out IIliteracy in the United
States by 1880. This is most am
bilious purpose, but the shame Of H.
iteracy can and must be removed
from our American civilization. Any
movement with that aim in view de-
serves vigorous support.
ut is easy to be deluded about the
comparative ease Of stamping out ILL
teracy because Of the deceptive ma
ture Of census figures on the ques-
ton" says the Kansas City Star.
The census figures undoubtedly are
misleading.
II will not do 10 rely upon the
showing from that source that there
are fewer than 100000 persons
more than 10 years Of age IN the
United States who cannot read and
write. 1t must be remembered that
the census figures are based upon
the mere statement Of people that
they can read and write. In count
less cases these statements are Who'll
ly or partly false.
This is proven by the fact that
the actual test Of men drafted for
service in the world war disclosed
that approximately 25 per cent were
unable to read a newspaper nor write
o letter home. Moreover, investiga-
tion by the chldren's bureau in eight
states show that more than % per
cent Of the boys between "A and lG
are illiterate.
The Kansas City paper says that
"the probabilities are that tine num-
ber of real illiterates in the United
States is nearer 20.0O0,O0O than s.
100000" If the real evils Of litter
aey are to be removed, .lliterates
must be taught not merely to read
and write a little but to read and
write with a reasonable degree of
understanding.
Near illiteracy is a problem almost
as serious as illiteracy. Both must
be solved before the country can ad-
vance in democracy.
