Lynching was among the subjec-ts
considered at the recent Southern So
ciological congress held in New Or
leans. It was argued by several
speakers that lynching is a by-product
of illiteracy ...and that a campaign of
education would help toward eradica

There may bi some truth in the
contention that illiteracy is response
iWe for the prevalence of lynching in
the southern states. Eut illiteracy is
not the only factor in the growth of
tbe mob spirit. Any educational cam
paign against lynching to be appre
ciably successful must take into con
sideration all the major factors in th-i
problem.
Mobs are not always raised or led
by illiterates, north or south. There
were clever, educated men in the mob
which a few months ago lynched Leo
Prank in . Georgia, it is admitted.
And clever, educated men apologizeJ
for that mob and excused its action.
Clearly, the Frank lynching was not
wholly chargeable to illiteracy. Race
prejudice, anti-Semitism, bore a share
of the blame. Political animosities
and agitators were connected with the
matter, and contempt for the orderly
processes of law had been generated
in the minds of lynchers.

questions. Human experience is the
only guide to the future and human
experience does not include a parallel
to the stupendous forces of this un
precedented war. The best one may
hope is that when the change comes
it may come gradually so that human
