You know what you are worth today. What are you
going to be worth five years from today? When we
build a house we have a plan. When we build a ca
reer, most of us putter, dawdle, dream dreams, and
wait for some favorable breeze to waft us to harbor.
Lack of business training is not only a handicap it is
an absolute block to your advancement. Will you con
sider this a little while you are building the man or
woman who later will be YOU? Start right by starting
NOW For something worth while. Positions in abund
ance and no trained help.

tho person enumerated had attended
nny kind or school at any tlmo bo
tween Soptomber 1, 1909, nnd tho
dnto or enumeration, April 15, 1910.
Tho totnl numbor or porsons or

tho porcentago attending school was

nntlvo pnrentngo was 85.1; among
nntlvo whites or rorolgn or mixed
parentage. 87.3; among forolgn-boru

Thoro is llttlo dlfTorcnco botweeu ur

porsons 15 to 20 yenrs of ago, 38.1
por cent woro reported as attending
scnooi in urunn communities ijfnd
43.7 In rurnl.
Illiteracy.
Tho Census Bureau classifies ns
lllltornto nny person 10 years of ago
or ovor who Is unnblo to write, ro
gardlcss of ability to rend.
There aro 10,594 Illiterates In tho
stnto, representing 1.9 por cont of
tho total population 10 years of ago
and ovor, ns compared with 3.3 per
cent In 1900, Tho porcontngo of 11
lltorncy Is 0.4 nmong native
whites, G.l nmong forolEn-born
whites, 3.4 nmong negroes, 36. G
among Indlnns, 7.G nmong Chinese,
nnd 11.1 among Jnpancso.
For all classes combined, tho por
contngo of Illiterates Is 1.3 urban
communities nnd 2.5 In rural. For
ench class scparntoly, nlso, tho per
centage Is higher in tho rural popu
lation than In tho urban.
For porsons from 10 to 20 yearn

ponds lnrgoly upon prosont school
facilities and school attondanco, tho
porcontngo of lllttorncy Is very slight,
only 0.7.
Marital Condition.
In tho population 15 years of ago
and ovor 47.5 por cent of tho males
aro slnglo nnd 27.1 per cent or the
romnles. Tho pcrcontngos married Is
4 G.G ror males and G3 ror females;
and tho porcontngo widowed 4.3 and
8.G, respectively. Tho percentages
or thoso roportod as divorced, 1,2
and 1.1, respectively ( nro bolloved
to bo too small, becauso or tho prob
ability that many divorced persons
class thoniBolvcs as slnglo or widow
ed. Thnt tho percentage slnglo Is so
much smaller for women than for
men Is duo partly to tho oxcoss of
males in tho total population and
pnrtly to tho fnct that women marry
younger. Thus 10,5 por cont or thu
romnles rrom 15 to 19 years or ago
aro married, ns compared with 0.4
por cent or tho males, and 50.4 por
cent or tho females from 20 to 24
yenrs nro mnrrled, as compared with
15.2 por cent of tho mnles. For
thoso from 25 to 34 yenrs, tho per
centages nro are 7G.6 for females
and 45.1 for mnles, and for thoso
from 35 to 44, 84-8 nnd 63.8, re
spectively. In tho ago group and
45 nnd over tho percentages are
nearly equal. That thoro Is n larger
proportion of widowors may Indlcato
that men moro ofton remarry than
women, but, slnco husbands aro
gonornlly oldor than their wives, tho
marrlago relationship Is more often
broken by death of tho husband than
by death of tho wlfo.
For tho main olomonts of tho
population tho porcontngca of mar
ried porsons nmong thoso 15 years
of ngo and ovor nro ns rollows: Na
tlvo whites of nntlvo pnrontngo, 49
for males and G3.7 for fomnles; forolgn-born
whites, 47.3 and 71.1, re
spectlvely; natlvo whites of foreign
or mixed parentage, 41.4 and C5;
negroes, 40.9 und 59.2; Indlnns,
48.4 and 56.G.
Theso percentages by no means
Indlcato tho relatlvo tendency of the
several classes as regards marrlago.
To detormino thnt, tho comparison
should bo mndo by ngo periods, since
tho proportion marriod in nny class
Is determined largely by tho propor
tion who havo reached tho marrying
ago. Similarly, tho proportion wid
owed doponds largely on tho propor
tion past middle life. Tho porcen
tago married, ror males and for fe
males, is higher In rural thnn In
urban communities.
Dwellings nml Fmnllle.
Tho numbor of dwellings In Ore
gon is 14 4,832, and tho numbor of
families, 151,858, thoro bolng 104.9
