The first selective draft show-
ed that there were 700,000 illit-
erates between 21 and 31 years
of age in this country. That fact
stunndus, but there was nothing
new in it. The census of 1910 in-
formed us t hat there were more
than five and one-half million
illiterates of ten years of age
and over in this country. It
showed us that one out of every
thirteen persons of ten years of
age and over was an illiterate.
Every fourth illiterate is a na-
tive of white parentage. We have
come to appreciate that illiter-
ates do not make good soldiers.
They are not good citizens unless
it is the plan to have some cit-
izens that can be imposed upon
and exploited by others. It is evi
dent that an illiterate bay earn
a living, but earning'a living is,
after all, only a means to the end.
That end is the living of a wor-
thy life in our day and gentra*
tion. This can be done only by
those who can independently get
into contact with the facts, ideas,
