Editorial Comment
North Dakota Literacy
dallas, Texas, News)

North Dakota has ambition. The state hopes
before the close Of 1926 to record hundred per
cent literacy in its population and Furthermore it
is ambition that is in fair way of realization.
The drive to eliminate illiteracy began in 1921
when Minnie J. Nelson, superintendent of public
instruction, inaugurated the movement. There were
then 9,938 North Dakota illitcrates. Today tho
number is placed at 1854.
Lteracy Of course does not imply adequate edu-
cation. But once the human mind has been taught
to direct the human members in reading and writing
it is SO organized that it is never content to ston
there. North Dakota has 1884 folks who arc bet
ter citizens in 1926 than they were in 1921 because
of the states personal interest in teaching them to
read and write. They will be still better citizens
in 1881, because the ambition North Dakota awak.
ened will drive them on
The desire to win race is not always laudablc
But North Dakota has an aim that is not onl,
prascworthy, but self -benefiting.

When Americans go mentioning they do it as
they do everything else-intensively. Only the ef-
fcient organization of the twentieth century could
move the vast hordes that set forth by boat train
and automobile, without disruptng the established
order. It is estimated that 100000 people in
America spend at least part of the summer holidays
motoring; 100000 60 abroad; millions visit the shore
iesorts other millions visit the mountains and still
other millions visit camps, ranches and farms.
Americans are not many generations away
from the pioneers. They have healthy curiosity
to see something of the world; theSsprit Of adven-
ture is strong within them. The open road bcckons,
and while they may be chained to task fifty weeks
in the year, for at least two weeks they will be
footIoose and carefrec.
This spirit is of inestimable value to the. nation
The mentioning Americans, and they include all
classes from the millionaire to the office boy are
keenly alive and alert; they keen for their va
cations, but they are also keen for their jobs i.
Other nations may look, upon. our annual playtimc

business Of life renewed interest and vigor worth

American Golf

Classed by the number of persons participating
in the sport, golf holds the first place national
game today, for it is played by individuals
than is any other game. Two million Americans
play the game every year 5000 golf courses that
cost originally 81 3OO,OOO,OOO and require an annual
expenditure Of $468 100000. That is the amount of
oar annual golf BILL And it is but an indication of
a condition prevailing over the civilized world.
Golf has experienced great increase in popular
ty. Even very small towns have their nine hole
courses and afford the players quite much fun
tiers Of population.
The rise of golf to the position Of major sport
is to be approved of. 1t is sport where all those
who enjoy it participate and receive the benefits of
it. In this it is entirely dssmilar from baseball,
football, boxing or tennis. In golf everybody has
II chance-and everybody takes it.
The average course is five miles long. The av-
erage person "goes around" the Is holes in some-
thing like 100 strokes. Thus round of golf means
five miles of hiking plus at least 100 husky shoulder
and swings that guaranteed to increase lung
capacity and reduce the waist line
Colts biggest appeal, Of course is to the middle
aged business who should not join in strenuous
sports. but who needs some sort Of mental reaxa-
ton and physical exercise Golf just fills tho bill,
particularly it may be played afternoons after
office hours and all day Sunday.
SO whom we look at the national annual golf bill,
it may bulk large, but it is small when compared
with the health and relaxation it purchases for mil
lions Of its devotecs.

dent Abraham Lincoln, there passes a man who made
good OH his ability without relying on the fame
reputation of his father. Although Robert Lin
coin once ambassador to Great Britain and
twice secretary Of under two presidents, his
greatest success was in the field of industry where
he had notable career Of achievement. For many
years he has been identified with the Pullman COM

in the civil war and saw the assassnations of both
