In an effort to reduce adult native Illiteracy In North Carolina, MUe KUzabcth Kelly has outlined a school for training teachers for this work and In Heeklnc the co-operation of womens clubs and other clvlo or ganizations In the State In Bending protective teachers to this school which will be held In Asheville from June It to SO Inclusive. The large number of native North Carolinians who are unable to read and write challenges the Intelli gent interest of the people of North Carolina, !n the opinion or Miss Kelly. While the teaching of the adult Illiterate Is a part of the public school work in North Carolina, the demands of the chil dren have been so great that there has been a tendency on the part of the various school boards to relesrate this work to the back ground because of the need of the funds for otner worn. Signature Not All. Miss Kelly does not believe that the man or woman wno js able, with great effort, to scrawl a sig nature should automatically put that person in i the classification with illiterates. ! for so long as ,a parson is unable Intelligently t read the newspapers, or the lit erature sent out by the government In various bulletins, that person is an illiterate. The economic loss to the Btate coming from the ina billty of thousands of grown men nnrl women to read Intelllzenttv and to write cannot be measured,' In the estimation of Miss Kelly. The Illiterate in every community la always the person who holds the community back. It is difficult to reach them through organization work of any kind because cannot read the literature that is sent them and they are likely to suspect the motives of the people who try to explain things to them.

"In order to meet these needs it is our purpose to bring into this school one or more women from each county," Miss Kelly states. "The business of these women will be primarily to find the best meth od of attacking the native adult Illiteracy problem in their own counties and to link the work up with the public schools and other Hgencios by which, it must be done. These women are to be selected according to the following plan: 1. That women's clubs and oth cr organizations in each county select some capable woman, who with the approval of the county superintendent of schools, . shall co-operate with him in the work of teaching adult beginners. 2.

Baron Taka hashl. the premier, replying today to an interpellation in the house of peers, said the Japanese govern ment at the Washington confer ence had never Insisted on the 70 naval ratio, and that the accept ance of tho 60 ratio was baaed on the conviction that naval strength alone did not insure tho safety of nations without causes, for dis pute having been removed. He added that he was unablo to ex press an opinion as to whether the naval agreement would be renewed if the entente outlived the terms of the agreement, but that the Japanese government hoped that when the terms of both he entente and the naval agreement expired the world would be provided with stronger guarantees for peace. Viscount Uchida, minister of for eign affairs, replying to the samo interpellation, said it was a mis take to think that the entente had a its sole purpose the abrogation ot the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
