Literacy and Intelligence

TLLITERACY. always widely condemned, IS particu-
i larry in the spotlight
Secretary of Commerce Hoover has determined as a
result of the report made at conference street and
dents, to find out how many due to the fact that
the drivers can't read warning, dreconal and traffic
signs.
Now along comes the National League of Women vot-
ers considering how they get out % per cent in
creased vote this year. They too have considerable to
say about iteracy But they do not claim that failure
to vote is byproduct of lack of knowledge Quite the
contrary
They say it is the ilterates who easily induced to
vote while the intelligent apt to sit supney by refus
ing themselves except to discuss what is wrong
with politics 1t is the intelligent who often fail to back
up their knowledge with the real power Of the vote.
iterates drive and vote They must be instructed
so that they can do both of these things nteigenty
The intelligent drive cars, too and do not fail to apply
their knowledge when it to reading traffic signals
Just so they must take it upon themselves to apply their
knowledge in political matters in the only practical way
