"The battle against illlteracy, which
Is more and more taking on federal
scope, 1t is pointed out, links itself
right up with the campaign for federal
control over juvenile labor. Both are
based on the broad policy of improving
civic intelligence and of protecting and
developing the children into healthy,
intelligent and moral citizens.
Question Of Federal Aid.
"But the child welfare workers
point out 1t is neither fair nor reason
able to give federal aid to public
schools in the states, unless the states
on their part are all brought up to
some uniform requirement Of school
attendance.
On the basis of the 1920 census, the
federal board for vocational education
tables show, the population Of school
age-betw cen five and twenty years
numbers 33,250,S70. OF these, 21,373,-
975 were returned as attending school
and 11,S76,0O0 as being out Of school.
For the ages of ten, eleven, twelve
and thirteen combined, $4,000 boys
and girls were out of school, while for
the same four ages some 100000
were In school.
At the fourteen-year mark the aban-
donment of school increases rapidly.
For the ages fourteen and fifteen COM
bined the '"out OF school" boys and
girls number 7S3,5OO. or the sixteen
year-old children OIL 100 were out OF
school, and 100000 were in school,
almost an even break. OF the seven
teen-year-olds 100000 were out Of
school, against $4,000 IN school, al
most two to one.
The bureau points out that the large
facts developed out Of the national
statistics of school attendance are that
as n social condition 1--WE have nearly
100000 In the ages five to twenty
years who are not in school, of whom
approximately 100000 are in the ages
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen and seventeen
years, and nearly 100000 in the ages
eighteen, nineteen and twenty"
Leave School at Early Age.
The figures set forth that out of
every 1000 pupils entering the first
grade only $50 survive in school to the
eighth grade and only 40 to the fourth
year of high school.
In 1922 total Of $14.77O,0OO was
spent In the states on federally-alded
evening, part time, and all day schools
under the vocational education act. OF
this amount, $3,S54.O00 came through
federal grants; s4,514,O00 was state
funds, and $6,4O1 900 was local money.
Nearly SO was matched against each
federal dollar In the aggregate expendi-
ture under the act.
But movements are under way for
expansion Of federal subsidies for edu-
cation on the broad theory that univer-
sal popular education has always been

Rooster Steals Ride on
Engines Tank Trucks

Canton, Miss.-The other day
when Engineer j. Il. Tate, of the
Illinois Central railroad, arrived
at Canton, he noticed a crowd
pointing under his engine, and
when 1t stopped he was shown
a smutty, greasy, dirty but game
little leghorn rooster, looking
the part Of real hobo, perched
on the tank trucks Of his engine.
True to the hobo nature, the
rooster evaded all efforts to be
caught, or even to have his pic
ture taken, but took refuge In a

 tung Tagged Out

SHANGHAI, June 13.-Six of the eight foreign captives released ycs- terday by the Shantung bandits after being held prisoner since May 6, ar rived here today. Although bearded unkempt and Jagged out generally, the victims of the Chinese outlaws were little the worse for their ardu- ous experience.
 Those arriving today were G. D.. Musso, J. B. Powell, Emile Gensbur- ger, Fred Elias, Leon Friedman and Lee Solomon. Major Roland W. Pin ger, U. S. A., and R. H. Rowlatt, pro- ceeded north to Tien Tsin and Pe- king, where relatives and friends were awaiting them.
 It was stated that the final nego- tiations for the release of the prison CTS nearly ended In fiasco. The bandits, at the last moment, de- manded that 5000 of their number be enrolled in the Chinese army. instead of the agreed 2,000. and also that they be paid S100,000 ransom for the captives The intermediates and government officially compromised by agreeing to pay $s5,0oo.
 The brigands decided to retain their Chinese captives. sending them back to the mountains. 1t was said that four of these, however, contrived to escape when they were being sent back.
 All the former foreign captives are insistent that the fullest separations and indemnities be demanded of China and that the governments take action to prevent future out breaks
