It is gratifying that special efforts are now being made to eliml- nate illiteracy from America.
 The Christian forces of the world ara ths clements of aggrcssiveness in the sphere of education. Pagan Rome, imperial China and India - almost totally neglected the masses of people in the field of education.

It is clear that Protestant scholarship the world over has been the world leader in scien- tific research and education of the masses. This matter has been well tested in German universities. The population of the empire was about one third Catholic. In the twenty universities which were non-theo- logical, the appointments to the faculty were made solely on scholar ship and ability. The proportion of catholic teachers were far below their due proportion of population. Out of over 2,175 teachers. only PIT were Catholic. or 15 per cent.

To this complaint the civil service examining board answered, it was because the Catholic applicants failed in scholarship In their examin- ations, and that all papers of trial were on file for examination for those who wished to see them.

Lewiston Schools to
Be Under Survey

Lewiston, Me, Apr. 1O-The school
board at the request of Mayor Brown
has prepared survey Of school con-
ditions in this city, which shows that
considerable amount of work must
be done in the immediate future if
the schools arc to be kept up to the
high standard of the past.
The report states that the present
school plant of the city is old. The
High and Grammar schools are filed
to overfiowing. The opportunities for
health training, sewing. cooking,
manual training, drawing, etc, are
inadequate and widely scattered.
There is immediate necessity for a
new six-grade building in the Rose
hill district, to replace the building
burned in December, 1920.
The report suggests four plans,
first. the remodeling and enlarge
mont of the present buildings: Sec
ond, the erection of new buildings
and the consolidation of schools;
third, the erection of a Junior High
school building. and the organization
of the schools on the G-3-3 plan, us
ing the present buildings for the first
six grades, the proposed new building
for the seventh. eighth and ninth
grades and the present High school
for the three High school years; and
fourth, the combining of a Junior
and Senior High school, embracing
the last six. years of the school
course. The report will be consid-
.cred by the city council.
In connection with this report the
figures of the last census of children
of school age in 1920 has just been
made public. This shows that there
were 10000 children of school age at
the time Of the last census. or these
there were in the public schools dur
ing the last two months 214O pupils,
with probably as many more in the
private schools of the city. OF this
number 493 were in Jordan High, 67S
in the Frye and Main street Gram
mar school, 3337 in the Coburn Gram
mar school, :',333 in the Wallace
school, 3G0 in the Dingley school, $50
in the Garcelon school and $50 in the
rural schools.
The monthly supper and meeting
of the Lewiston and Auburn Bates
club will be held Monday evening.
Pres. Clifton ID. Gray of the college
will be the chief speaker and will tell
what is being done in the matter of
the financial campaign in behalf of
the college. which is soon to be
opened 1t is expected also that a re-
port of the committee appointed last
month to consider the formation of
a university club here will be re-
Ceived.
