LITERA(;Y
FIGURES

For the first time in American
history, a nationally powerful or
panization of educators today
questioned the accuracy of the IL
literacy statistics of the Bureau
of Census, and named commit
tee to visit the bureau in this con-
nection.
The action came as a surprise
at the close of the morning ses-
sion of the National Council Of
State Superintendent and Com
missioners of Education, in the
new Willard Hotel.
Woman Raises Point
An address by Mrs. Cora Wilson
Stewart, president of the World H.
litelacy Commission. at yesterday
afternoons meeting of the council,
was the direct cause for the
councils stand.
Mrs. Stewards contention was
that cities and States are being
charged by the Federal census
takers with numbers of illiterates
considerably at variance with the
statistics compiled by municipali-
ties. She urged the need of calling
this condition to the attention Of
the Census Bureau with a view to
having the census takers more
fully instructed as to illiteracy
standards and tests.
In pursuance of this thought. dis
cussed generally by the council
after Mrs. Stewards talk, President
Josephine Corliss Preston appointed
as a committee to bring the coun-
ellis message to the bureau, Francis
G. Blair. of Illinois; George M.
Ford, of West Virginia, and John
w. Abercrombie, of Alabama. All
are State superintendent Of edu-
cation.
Long Discussion Ahead
The illiteracy question, according
to Mrs. Stewart, Is to be discussed
at great length during the conven-
ton OF the Department Of Super
intendence, National Education AS.
ISOLATION. next week, inasmush as
statistics on illiterates have been
questioned so often.
H. V. Holloway, superintendent
of public instruction for Delaware,
told the meeting that the cost of
education will never be so low as
it is at this time, due to the con.
stantly increasing activities and
improvements in the schools.
The result of economy that
limits the activities of our schools
to the three RS" -, Holloway said,
must eventually be disaster to the
educational system. Changes have
come, he said, as 1.-The irrevocabIe
outgrowth of our modern life"
improvements Recited
Some of these changes, he stated,
are improved textbooks, vocational
classes, health provisions. special
schools for physically or mentally
defective pupils. a larger school
population, enforcement of compul.
sorry attendance laws, an increased
number of days in the school year,
increase in high school enrolment,
increased teachers salaries, in
creased cost OF construction. trans

STUDIES
BILLS

A number of important District
bills today were given preliminary
consideration by the judiciary sub
committee of the House District
Committee.
The committee held hearing on
a bill to amend the District code
with regard to descent and dis
tribution, so as to give the mother
the same property rights as the
father in the transmission of
property.
Backed by Women
The measure is regarded by the
woman.s Bar Association and the
National Woman's Party as one of
the most important steps taken III
many years in the District toward
the granting of equal rights 20
women.
A case growing out of the Knick-
erbocker Theater disaster was used
by Miss Pearl Bellman Klein of the
executive committee of the Wom-
ans Bar Association as an example
of the need for the new law.
A 17-year-old boy was killed in
the crash and his father died three
months later, Miss Klein said. The
mother sued for damages, but It
was held that the father had ex-
elusive right of recovery and she
was not entitled to sue. Since the
father lived three months after the
death of the son his estate was en-
titled to recovery for loss of services
of the son to his father for three
months.
Among the witnesses were Mrs.
Rebekah Greenhouse, assistant Dis
trict attorney; Judge Mary O'Toole
of the Municipal Court, Mrs. Der.
nita Shelton Matthews. Mrs. Legare
OtBear and Miss Marie S. Ruth Of
the District Bar Association.
Action Postponed
Final action on the measure was
postponed to permit Representative
Ralph Gilbert of Kentucky to pre-.
pare an amendment covering the
entire inheritance section of the Dis
trict law so as to remove several
discriminatory features.
The committee set the following
dates for hearings on pending legis.
lation:
February ga bill giving women
the right to sit on District juries
and the Dickstein bill, regulating
the sale of kosher meat.
March 1.-THE BIanton anti.pick-
citing bill.
March 4-The Landlord bill pro-
viding Sunday blue laws" for the
District.
March 1.-THE Blanton bill pro-
viding for licensing OF real estate
dealers and to prevent fraudulent
real estate transactions.

HOW STATESMEN VOTE

H. L. Mencken, in recent
article, sails into those states
men who vote "dry" but drink

Congressman who vote dry,
but drink wet, or vice versa,
are not necessarily hunbugs.
If a man with political aspira-
tions lives in a dry or wet dis

to the wishes of his constituents
and is honest in doing it. He
can render valuable service to
his people along other lines.
