THE OPEN COLUMN
In Order to Remember.

Editof the Missomim Only a little
more than a year ago young woman was
killed in Columbia in a horrible manner
through the carelessness Of several auto
mobile drivers.
For months persons driving autos were
very careful about obeying traffic rules
and drove slowly about the streets. Grad
uaIly, however, the memory Of the terrible
accident faded away. Machines began
to speed up again and drivers became
careless. The streets Of Columbia have
become speedways again for the reckless
motorist.
An accident Of the nature Of the horri-
bic tragedy Of year ago seems to be the
only restraining influence upon this reck-
less disregard for life. Even then it

Mrs. Brian-Carfield, the French wife
Of an American engineer, who is house
surgeon at the Paris Charity Hospital,
has advanced arguments why women
make good surgeons, though they are
not eminently successful as physicians.
Medicine, she claims, depends upon
deduction, but surgery merely requires
great skill with the fingers, and women's
fingers are hereditarily adept with scis-
sors and needle. Mrs. Brian-Carfield is
said already to rival the veteran men
surgeons at her hospital.

BATTLE AGAINST IGNORANCE

From the records on education in the
census report Of 1920, The Nations Busi
ness shows that there are 82,739,000 peo
pie above the age Of ten years in the
United States and Of this number about
five million could neither read nor write
Tests made on drafted men in military
camps lead to the conclusion that in ad-
dition to this FIVE million, there are
another fifteen million who can write
their names but cannot write a letter or
read a newspaper.
In spite Of the many schools through
out this country, which leads the rest Of
the world in Industrial, commercial, and
financial achievements. the record shows
4 greater lack Of education than is found
in Sweden, Norway. Switzerland, Holland,
Australia, England, and Germany.
Napoleon ] said that a man who could
read and write was worth twice as much
as the man who lacked these accomplish
ments. Franklin X. Lane estimated that
an illiterate was worth so cents less a
day than a literate-this shows what the
United States loses through the neglect
Of universal educaiion-the enormous
sum of sS25,OOO,OOO each year.
The Director of Mines and Mining at
tributes 1000 deaths annually, because
Of illiteracy, in accidents that are com
mon because people cannot read the warn
ing signs.
The South does not only show litter
acy among the negroes, but also among
the native whites. Statistics show that
Louisiana had 1890; Georgia had $1,000,
and Kentucky mad 10000 illiterates.
The ratio Of attendance to enrolment
in schools in the South is less than 80
per cent. We waste every year sl94,0O0,-
600 through irregular attendance due to
public lack Of interest in good health.
There are too many bootblacks, news
boys and messengers because Of the fail |
ure to enforce the laws regarding school
Although every individual
has access TO an education, il is essential
to inculcate into every child a desire for
il.
Ii is from such material that the coun-
try must recruit the ranks Of industry, Of
business, Of finance, Of commerce, and
the professions.

the path Of poor genius. His talents

1910. He has been married twice.

Askov played its first game oi
the season in the Stump

defeated by Brook Park in a
spirited 10 inning game on the
Askov grounds, a game which
was interesting and clean
throughout. Askov has several
young men on the team this
year who seem TO have the
goods and with proper train
ing and coaching should make
good. They showed up good at
the stick, but perhaps like the
blushing bride were little ex-
cited in the crucial periods of

up stronger this year than it has
in any previous season. Among
the new players were Alfred
Nielsen behind the bat. Carl Jen-
sen at short, Holger Mosbek in
the right garden and Owe Her.
mansen in left. Harold Soren-
sen who has been seen on the
Askov team before, played third
base. Olav Keller, a veteran on
the team. played the center gar.
den, but was obliged to warm
the bench after the seventh in
ming when he was touched up
pretty lively by a pitched ball
on the elbow. Bert Smidt was
substituted.
Jens Hyldahl pitched his usual
good game and went strong
throughout the 10 innings. He'd

and Hady did the slab work for
the Parkers, the former being
quite wild. Hady pitched his
usual steady game.
Askov started out with a run
in the first inning and added
another in the third. Here the
Parkers bested them one by Sc
curing 3 runs and added I in the
fourth and 2 in the fifth. Then
Askov started the fireworks and
put 5 men across home plate in
their half of the fifth, being l
score to the good. Neither side
scored in the sixth but the Par
kers added / in the seventh and
l in the eighth, being blanked in
the ninth. Askov did not score
in the seventh and eighth but
tied the score in the ninth by
adding a tally. The score then
stood 8 and 8. The tenth how
ever was fatal to Askov as the
ParkeH hit heavy and this
coupled with errors on the As
kovites netted them runs.
Askov tried strenuously to tie
or go them one better in their
half but were unable to score
more than 2 so the game ended

a financial success. Accounts,

that deficit of $1,000 was re-
