Iowa Least Illiterate

In Iowa, where the tall corn grows,
there are less illiterates than in any
other state in the Union. The per-
centage is less than one OF her total
population. Latest statistics place

North Dakota has been active in
the drive against illiteracy for years.
Many states have worked tirelessly to
reduce illiteracy and the reduction
since 1870 has been most satisfactory
These figures reflect what has been
happening: Percentage Of lliteracy

percentage was 21.9, one Of the high

TO-DAY IS THEA
Il
JEWISH LAW REPEAL

On July 10, 1917, the text of the
decree of the Russian Provisional gov
eminent repeating all laws restricting
the civil, political and religious rights
Of the Jews was revealed.
"All existing legal restrictions" the
report said, upon the rights of Rus
sian citizens, in connection with this
Or that faith, religious teaching or
nationality, are revoked. In accord
ance with this:
II. Repealed are all laws existing
for Russians as q whole, as we'll as
those of separate localities, embody-
ing limitations concerning:
q. Selection of place of residence
and change of residence and move
ment.
g. Engaging in all kinds OF trades,
commerce and industry, not excepting
mining: also equal participation in
the bidding for government contracts,
deliveries and in public auctions"
In the drafting of these laws, jew
ish lawyers were called into c~onsulta-
ton by the ministry Of justice.

Rockefeller have been generous In
their monetary contributions to the

Here in North Dakota, the women's

had in the drive against ~illiteyacy

North Dakota Prospects Good

Some of those hunger Loan DO
liticians who set up a wall at Wash
ington and Kansas City, Mo, fol
North Dakota. should read the inter-
view given by O. w. Roberts of the
Bismarck weather bureau. He de-
clares the corn crop is the best in 25
years. The Red River valley reports
fine crop conditions. A moratorium
on political hot air for the next 80
days would help. The farmers are
too busy minding their own business
to make much of a "holler."
This state is really one of the bright
spots of the nation and when the de-
preston starts to lift, it is the agri-
cultural section that will set the pace.
Until the farmers can get their pro-
duction on a better basis things can
not improve in any appreciate de-
gree. They appear to be striving
back to a better plane, If the po-
liticians will only stop trying to save
them.

Unfit Lawyers
New York Tines

For months this city has been OBJ
serving the investigation and trial of
unfit judges, several of whom have
either resigned from the bench or
been removed from it. Almost OF
equal Importance to the prosecution
in disbarment proceedings, now 60
ing on, of Is lawyers whom Judge
Seabury declared that the evidence
brought out by him proves to be IN
fit to practice law. An incompetent
judge is a sorry spectacle: a corrupt
Judge is an object Of shuddering and
contempt. But a faithless OF venal
or bride giving lawyer is not in a
much higher moral OF legal category.
Lawyers themselves are officers of
the court. They are under oath to
promote the administration of justice
without fear or favor. If there is a
code of judicial ethics by which
judges are bound, there is also one,
fully as severe, for lawyers. The just
penalty for violating it is disbarment.
Over unworthy members Of the pro-
fession the committees of the bar as
sociationS have a certain professional
jurisdiction, but they can only recon-
mend that offenders be expelled from
the bar. In a similar way the present
prosecution of the Is accused attor-
neys can lead merely to a report of
findings to the appellate division,
which has the power Of condign pun
ishment.
1t is doubtful If the public always
fully realizes the need OF the highest
character in lawyers. Sometimes

get around the law and to serve I'M
worthy clients in unworthy ways are
praised for their astuteness and given
retainers without too much regard for
their lack of scruples. But to the
profession as a whole, such men are
abhorrent. Every effort is made by
the courts and by reputable lawyers
to deny shady characters admission
to the bar, but . few win get through

Of them. Hence the need Of constant
vigilance by honorable members Of

their profession, In order to bring to
book every practitioner who is known
to have prostituted his abilities, and
trampled upon his sworn obligations,
for sordid gain. 4

Really Better Than Jail

One commentator upon the glee
with which children hail the closing
of schools, reads into that joyful and
legitimate enthusiasm a real chal-
lenge to modern education. He re-
marks:
Greater rejoicing could not result
if our prisons, reformatories and jails
were all emptied. Why should the
child regard school as a jail? The
school authorities have an unlimited
body of raw material to work on,
which, if properly exploited and di-
rected, should make school as in
teresting and absorbing as a three
ring circus"
Then continues the cynic:
Modern educational psychology
stresses the fact that vivid interest
and zeal are the only basis of sub
stantial human achievement. BY this
standard of judgment u schools are
pretty dismal failures. This situa-
ton is a real challenge to modern
education"
These conclusions might have fitted
conditions in the common school 60
years ago or maybe only 20 years
back. Clarence barrow in his auto
biography, Pennington" comments
how country children howled and
shrieked with delight when school
was cut for the summer. Contras:
the country school of his day with
the average rural and city school and
the answer to that situation is ap-
parent.
Our public schools are making
things more interesting for the chill
dren. Modern methods are a revela-
ton to the "old-timer" who happens
to visit schools today without too
critical an eye. For the most part,
subjects once dull and heavy now
stimulate juvenile zeal.
Registrations at summer schools
are indicative that education is not
as unattractive as this writer finds
it. True, there is delight at relief
for a month or two from the educa-
tional grind, but see the enthusiasm
with which most young people re-
turn in the fall. Shakespeare's old
saw about the "schoolboy with shin
ing morning face creeping like a.
snail unwillingly to school," still ap-
plies to present conditions in some
degree but nothing like it did when
they beat education into children as
much through the hide as by mental
processes.
Most critics complain that educa-
ton is too interesting and that the
frills are accentuated. Social affairs
combined with athletic affairs, they
say, obscure the real aim and object
of learning.
Those who have given educational
methods any study at all must agree
that there have been rapid strides in
the last decade OF so, but it is strain
ing the facts terribly to say that
vacation ito both faculty and student
body is a Jail delivery" Actual con-
ditions give the lie to that.

Thus, upon a recent evening, a re-
plica of the favored saint of New
York's Sicilian colony actually was
carried through highways, gayly
lighted by arches of red, white and
blue electric bulbs, while two bands
played the more popular march songs.
1t was a night of sporadic showers.
The shrine that was to contain the
saint adjoined a bakery shop. The
shrine was of v~ari-colored bunting.
Someone had placed a large bouquet
on 1t.
Just across the street, tenements
that ordinarily present shabby fronts,
fire escapes and windows in which
blink reflected gas lamps now were
gay with lights and humans. Heads
protruded over every window ledge
for a block or more. Fire escapes sud-
denly became ringside seats at the
pageant enacted in the street below.
