"The proportion of illiterate negroes range between 30 and 40 per cent for the age groups from JO Jo 34 inclusive, beipg more than one half of the entire number n group 85 to 44 years of age, more than two thirds in gioup 45 to 64 yars, more than three fourths in group 65. to 64 years old and considerably more than four fifths in the group 65 years and over." ' - 1 'The proportion of illiterates among the Indian population is large for all age groups, ranging from about three tenths for the earlier periods ' to ' about four fifths for the period from . 45 to 54 years and to very nearly nine tenths for the old Indians ; from 65 years and upward. "- The percentage of illiteracy shows large in every class of our population when it is remem bered that in 1900 there were 21,404,322 persons. of sohool age in the United State that is 5 to 13 years of age, of whom 15, 503,110 were enrolled in tbe public schools, to instruct whom 422,062 teachers were employed and $137,687,746 paid them for their services and the total ex penditure Tor the public schools that year v. as $214,964,618. aoaa o o o a o a a o o b o o a a n n jv a " Farmers' and Traders jj B Nationaf Bank, ; a m LAGRANDE, OREGON 1 Capital Stock fully paid r , $ 60,000 , 1 O i Surplus fund , . xo.wv mm T LiabiUiy of Shareholders , 60,000 1 Responsibility .

From these figures it will be seen that eo,per oent of the Indian children of school see attend this school, which speaks well for that school. The census reports for 1900 rive the number of Indian children, who .attended school the census year ending June 1900 at 37,537 in the United States. The following conclusions drawn from tbe figures gathered j by the census takers as to the relative illiteracy of the whites, neeroes and Indians in tbe' United States are worthy of consideration and abow that the Indiana are advancing educationally. "The proportion of illiterates! among persons 10 to 14 years ol age is less than that for persons 15 to 17 or 18 to 20 years of age, when the illiterate. population in 1900 is considered as a whole, but for native whites of native parentage the proportion ia slightly larger, 4.4 per cfnt for t those 10 to 14 years old, as com- pared with 4 1 per cent for those 15to 17 years old and 4.2 per cent for those 18 to 20 years of sge.
