Both Germany grift England Are Far Ahead ci us in Education. The attitude some of our people assume in depressing foreigners and all that is foreign, argues them both narrow and intolerant. In respects to some of the purposes and activi ties of life we may, with propriety, study Eurovean countries. For in stance, in the matter rf education, both Germany and England are far ahead of us. It would be folly for us to deny it. Figures compiled by the United States bureau of education show that there are only three persons out of every 10,000 in Germany who cannot read and write; that there are 150 illiterates out of every 10, 000 persons in Great Britain. In the United States the proportion is 7T0 illiierates in 10,000. iae department oj ccncation is not convincing when it explrins the great discrepancy by saying that the figures taken in Germany relates on ly to adults, while the figures taken in the United States embrace all persons over the rge of ten years. Inasmuch ' as nearly every person learns to read and write before he is ten years of age, if he learns to read at all, the explanation is not satisfying. The principal reason for the large proportion of illiterates in America is the presence of several million negroes, a considerable number of Indians and thousands of foreign immigrants, who come from the most illiterate classes, of certain European nations. All American states having a large negro popula tion, have a large class f illiterates. BIGGEST COTTON CROP. Last Yaer's Crop Fen? FSi!!iCR Bales Greater Than Adv. HO QN STRONGER THAN HIS STOMACH.

On the other hand nearly 40 per cent of the total negro popula- ! tion is illiterate. It is to be rememben d, however, that no real or gener.'d effort has been mad? to give the negro the ed ucation except in the past forty 3'ears. It is also to be remembered that the percentage cf illiterates among the negroes is steadily de creasing. The negro is yet in the position whereie must depend up on the white race for the education of his children. The nteady de crease in the number of negro illit erates is evidence of a growing spirit of generosity on the part of the dominant race, as well as of an eagerness on the part of negro chil dren to go to school. .Montgomery Advertiser.
