The American legion is interested in
the campaign for education because
during the war the men who were in
the service learned that there was an
alarming amount Of illiteracy in the
country. The legion members state
that illiteracy is blot on our nation
and the goal toward which they are
working is intelligent American citi-
zenship by 1927. They advocate no
immigration until illiteracy among
native and foreignborn is removed.
