"Let ua not be deceived," he said, "It la not the paltry few dollara pent on health education, upon vo cational education, or any of the nther new actlvltlea that nave an ministered to the needa of the maaaea; have made the American pulble, achool truly demoeratio tnav conatltute tne reaaon ior Wolf of Privilege Been "Underneath la the wolf of prlvll turn, artfully disguised by high aal- arled publicity dlrectora, anarllng hla demand that the ruoimenta 01 learn ing, the baalo skills, the aacred trin ity of R's ahall be the portion of the children or America ai puo Tnenae. More than that snail oe pend upon the divine right of birth or wealth." The apealcer commented that when the world war revealed that many boy examined for military eervice were not physically perfect, demanda were made for health dlvieiona in tne achoola. "Aa cannon fodder," he said, "our young men must, ba phys ically perfeot even If . that Be ao- eompllahed at public expenae.

(AP) Twenty- five Oregon counties rate with the beat In the least amount of Illiteracy! It was revealed today by Char lee A. Howard, superintendent of public In struction, who received a United States survey from the federal department. The twenty-five counties all re corded below one per cent illiteracy when the national census was taken In 1930. The data waa compiled by the national advlsnry committee . on literacy. Bight of the remaining eleven counties had an average of from one to two per cent illiteracy. These were Multnomah, Marlon, Columbia, Uma tilla, Hood River. Wasco, Otlllam and Harney. The other three, Klamath, Jefferson and Sherman, rated the lowest In the state, from 3 to 4.3 per oent. No counties In the state recorded lower than the national average of 4.3 per oent. The rating of the state aa compared with all other states was not received, but Oregon appeared to be among the leaders. Last week Or egon rated fourth in high literacy according to a census based on maga zine reading. The new averages were baaed solely upon illiteracy as ob tained by census takers. Program Friday To Mark Close Phoenix School NO INSURANCE FOR CIGARETTE BURNS Medford fire Insurance stents and adjusters are In receipt of notices from their companies aa follows: "Fire Insurance companies of the Pacific coast agree with members of the national board of fire under writers that payment of losses caused hy cigarette burns constitutes a gratuity, that there haa been no fire under the terms of the policy con tract and that to continue the prac tice of paying auch claims would have an adverse effect on fire insur ance rates. In future the companies will not pay such claims, waa the decision made at the an mini meeting a Del Monte laat week.
