One-Tenth of Population of the United
6tates Over Ten Years Are
Illiterate.
t
"According to the best estimates," !
says a writer In Kverybody's for July, j
"nbout 10.0OO.OiHJ, or more than one-
tenth of our population over ten years !
old, oimnot read or write English -a '
number greater than the whole .opu- '
lation of Canada ; greater than the
whole population of the South in the
Civil war; greater than the combined
populations of 15 of our states. And
of this number, fully haif can neither
read, write nor speak English. In
some cities, such as Passaic, NT. J., or
Kail Itiver, Mass., these strangers num
ber n sixth or more of the population.
"If this enormous population, alien
in speech or literature or custom, were
merely 'a population,' merely living
among us, that would be one tldng to
think about. But all of this 10,000,
000 are also working among us, trying
to build some kind of life for them
selves. And in so doing, they have
brought themselves into a closer re
lationship with us than we are often
willing to admit, even if we are aware
of it. More than 58 per cent of the
people who make our steel and iron,
more than 72 per cent of those who
make our clothes, more than 85 per
cent of those who refine our sugar,
are foreign-born. And nearly all of
them Cannot read or write English,
and at least a quarter of them cannot
read or write their own language. Six
hundred and twenty thousand of the
million wlio mine our coal are foreign
born, and 405,000 of these come from
non-English-speaking races, witli but
the slightest ability, if any, to read the
English language."

Impressive sign on the window of a
"tonsorial artist" in the downtown sec

"What's the sign mean?" asked a
customer who drifted Into the shop as
a barber started to wait on him.
"I don't know," was the reply. "Some
new-fangled idea of the boss'."
When appealed to the proprietor of
the place swelled with pride and in
his weightiest tones explained his
brain child in this inar.ner:
"That means that when you get Into
the chair we study your face and then
proceed to cut your hair in such a
manner that the trimming will con
form to your general physiognomy,
meaning your face. Sometimes a man

reason why men should."

Foolish Question.
An oltielal who was making up an
asves-mient roll heraus.' of some re
cent street Improvement called at each
house on the improved streets to learn
the names of the property owners. At
one house he climbed out of his car,
went to tlie door anil knocked.
" ho owns this property'" he asked.
"Why, I do," the woman answered.
The ollielal got her mime and put it
down In hlH book. Then he took a
squint at the size of the lot.
"How ninny feet?" he asked. "Two,
of course," the woman snapped, won
dering whether he thought she was
a centipede.
