FOR THE BENEFIT
OF ILLITERATES
i ,
Bill Introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf—The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the j
Times Is That offal#Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South—Will Spend Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.
The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from tlielr superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
questionnaires to light a con
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
I now Introducing bills to promote tho
education of Illiterates throughout the i
j length and breadth of America. Sena- j
I tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro
duced a bill In the Senate "to promote l
the education of Illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng
lish language, and other resident per j
■one of foreign birth," and the same j
measure has been introduced in the \
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
•f Alabama.
The Introduction of this Important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne a
reputation for illiteracy Out of propor
tion to that of the rest of the coun
| try. Just what steps will be immedi- I
' ately taken as the result of the passage
of the education of illiterates bill at .
Washington cannot be stated at this |
time, but, certainly, practical meas
ures will be put Into operation for the !
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities. '
Other organizations besides that of
the government are at work on the I
same problem—the establishment of
school* In the heart of tenement dis
tricts and rural communities being a
! matter of first Importance with all ot
I them. One of the most significant
' movement* of the times in this ton
nection is that of the Centenary of
the Methodißt Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years over
I $3,000,000 among the uneducated
I classes In the Southern and Western
States. The church Is to raise a fund
| of $36,000,000 in an eight-day drive in
• April, the financial campaign being a
par{ of the Centenary Celebration of
the denomination. Tho money Is be
ing raised with a view to putting the
work of the church on a business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the Illiterates here In America to be
among the matters of first Importance
, which It should undertake. A survey
j has been made and the result of the
campaign will be the apportionment of
$3,000,000 among the various Illiterate
population a* follows: Mountain pop
olatlon, $750,000; Immigrant, $900,000;
negroes, $600,000; Indians, $l5O 000;
cotton mill population, $150,000; Chris
tian literature for all of them, SIOO,OOO
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington, with one denomination
already completing Its plans for fur
thering the work among them, and
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to ,'otn hands in their
behalf. It 1* more than possible that
the Illiterates of the South are In a
fair way to soon become educated cltl
teu* of the United State*.

the fact that America was preparing

"And those millions and billions of

More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the position
of comfort and prosperity which la
his Just due. Lean years are for him
no longer. Last year the average of
farm earnings broke all records. Six
million farms in 1918 produced crops
worth $12,280,000,000.
This year it is estimated that a
greater wheat acreage than ever will
bo sown. Naturally, the farmer is
making tho most,of his opportunities,
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything ha
grows, tho outlook for him is most
encouraging. And Europe will fur

SOLID SECURITY
FOR M BONDS
It ia the Wealth of This Great
Country Somewhere Near
Hundred and Fifty Billions
of Dollars.
How many' holders of "Liberty*"
realize fully the security that Is back
of that property they own?
tt is the wealth of the richest na
tion of the earth.
Hera's but a glance at what that
wealth comprises.
With ( per cent of the world's
population and 7 per cent of the
world's land America owns of the
world supplies: »
7# per cent of the copper.
51 per cent of the coal.
20 per cent of the gold.
St per cent of the oil.
40 per cent of the iron and steel.
33 per cent of the silver.
0 per cent of the cotton.
25 per cent of the wheat.

ducts In proportion.
Today Europe owes us $10,000,000,-
000; four years ago we owed her near
ly half that.
Lastly our annual Income, that of
all the people and industries, is today
something like 170,000,000,000 annual

$3G»,000,000,000.
