I Thirteen was North Carolina's un
lucky figure in the census of 1920. The
government figures of that year showed
that in North Carolina out of every
hundred persons of ten years or over
1 there were thirteen who could not read
! and write. It was not a less lucky j
number for North Carolina because in 1
! Alabama there were sixteen, fifteen in 1
'Arizona, New Mexico and Georgia. 1
twenty-one in Louisiana, seventeen in I
Mississippi. and eighteen in South !
Carolina out of every hundred who were
illiterates.
I As long as one person in North Caro
lina of ten years or more is without
sufficient, education to rend and write«
the English languagge. it will be a
problem to demand attention. In 1920
eight out of every hundred white people
and twenty-four out of every hundred’
negroes, making an average of thirteen,
were unable to read and write. That 1
percentage was entirely too high.'
especially when it is remembered that j
the figures disclosed that practically i
one-fourth of our negro population were 1

Happily rapid progress is being made!
• in removing this unlucky figure from'
', the annals of our history. I.nut week an
{important conference of school miperin-
I tendents was held in Asheville to con-
I Rider the important problem of edura
; ting a quarter of a million illiterates in
I North Carolina. Think of it! A quarter
jof a million adults in progressive North
| Carolina without the means of securing
even rudimentary knowledge except by
| oral instructio nand then totally un
; trained in ways of assimilating it.
liuncnmbc county has demonstrated
that adults can be taught to read and
write. Three thousand and five hundred
of them have been taught in that eoun
' ty. It is a wonderful revelation of pro
gress when that many . adults take
enough interest in bettering their con
dition to learn to read and write after
having gone through childhood and
youth without having done so.
| It is an omen fcf progres that is more
i substantial than mere buildings or ma
jterinl ai'hievement- It reveals men and
! women of heroic stuff.

We Are All “Commoners.”
New York I>aily Mirror,
j Why do hundreds of papers allude to
|W. .1. Bryan a«-,"the Great Commoner?”
I He might properly be called a great eom-
I moner as Lloyd George is a great com-
I moner. had he lived in Great Britain.
There the word •‘commoner’’ describes
a man not included in the ranks of no
bility or royalty. Everybody in the
I’nited States is a commoner, the only
difference being that some are commoner
than others.
Bryan was an honest American, an
■ earnest fighter, and by far the best ora
j tor of his generation.
Nothing helps a man more than know
ing that some one has faith in him.
