Dening illiteracy as inab- ility after the age of ten years to read or write in any language, Mar- jorie Bradford of the Social Service .Council of Canada presents an an- alysis of the census statistics of 1921 . .ulation of Canada is illiterate. Of ' the provinces, Ontario -has the lowest -illiterate. In the three western prov-I which shows that 5.10% of the pop- illiteracy, 2.90%, and New Bruns- wick tops the list with 7.61% illit- erate. Manitoba comes second to New` Brunswick, with an illiteracy of 7.- 09%. In that province the high per- centage is due in great measure to the large immigrant population in which illiteracy is much higher than among Canadian-born. Of the for- eign-born in Manitoba, 20.72% are inces there are 69,636 illiterates, and of these 81% are foreign-born and 19% Canadian and British-born---a conditionwhich should make us, as Canadians, think. Compulsoryeduca- tion laws are doing much, but in spite of these many Canadian-born child- ren of foreign parentage, as well- as' I many children of Canadian illiterate parents, are perpetuating their fam- ily names in the ranks of illiteracy. For instance, 39.46% of foreign- born Ukrainians in Canada are illit- erate and 7.65% of their Canadian- born` children can neither readnor 1. ' write! Illiteracy. however, must not I 1 be confused with inability to speak!` English. This is another problem, and a serious one. In Saskatchewan I alone over 40,000 citizens cannot 1 speak English. .

His Honor said he felt` there was a strong tendency today to drift` away from the old standards of religion and thrift, and these tenden- cies must not be encouraged. We cannotsend our .children to church on Sunday and expect them to receive any benet from it if we ourselves go out and play golf or indulge in other mild forms of sport, said Hon. Mr. Cockshutt. A It is the duty of adult Canadians, today, -he said, to pass on to those who come after the same Qtalwart traits of character as the founders of this country display- . ed when they settled here. Religion was the base and foundation of this country and so long as Canadians are true they will be a force that will carry the country over many difficul. ties. ` ` Milverton 1 Sun: Lieut.-Governor Cockshutt of -Ontario deplores the large circulation "of American news-e papers and magazines in this country toethe exclusion of our own literary productions. These American period- icals are steeped in American senti- ment and tend to de-Canadianize our `people by building up American ideals, manners and fashions. The ; Canadian ideals of life are undoubt- edly higher than those of the cosmo- politan population to the south and it is. t_o be regretted that magazines nd .a ready market rather for the pulp than for the brains they contain. Star Chamber Methods `Carleton >'Place Canadian: The `Smith's `Falls Board` of Edu'cation is learning that exclusion_ of the press froma meeting, or even a portion of the meeting, has been the means of giving that town a lot of unfavorable publicity.
