of Cape May should visit the schools ; and sqe first handed what is being; I taught and done there. It is only , safe to grant approval or disapproval after seeing for yourselves. The ' ' school Authorities and teachers will : j gladly receive suggestions and are i anxious to meet the mothers and fathjers of the children they are striving , | to educate- , | On Thursday, the topic for thought [ and discussion is that of illiteracy.. . I we think that a recent survey I j of illiteracy in the leading nations of . I the world revealed that 6 per cent of [ the entire population of the United 1 States are illiterate, while onlv 1.5 per cent of the population of England and t 1 per cent in Norway and Sweden arc r illiterate, we should stop and consider and take measures to obliterate this appalling condition. In our own state the 1920 census figures show 125,000 adults over 21 years of age who are ? illiterate. Our slogan, is no illiteracy , in 1927. Wall you help? 2 Friday will be given over to the t discussion of equal opportunity of edui. cational privileges for all. In some e sections of this country schools are so ,. senrse that it is almost imvossible for rl a child to attend and then the facilities . are so poor that very little can be im- i parted to the' children. Then too, some | schools are open only 3 or 4 months.; Is this a fair deal 'to the children?

we have no such conditions near | in Cape May there are any number I of worthy boys and girls about us I who are deserving of a higher educaand would be glad to put themselves to the task of completing a Education if only the financial were available, not as a gift q as a loan. On Saturday, let us not forget the athletic side jjf education- A strong mind without a strong body is useless. On that day we will be privileged to see the first Girls' .Hockey . game in Cape May, played oy our , iown High School girls. It will take P place on Columbia Park field and ] should interest all sports loving pe°-L pie. It will give you a slight idea of . the many good things the schools are j attemptin- to do in order to build stronger bodies. Last but not least, f what better spirit of pride is displayed | ( in our community than when our ' home team brings home the victorv. In conclusion let us say that the j American Legion of this nation ds | 1 founded upon such principles and now ( that the rifle and artillery have ceas- | 1 ed ami the blaring of bugles has been silenced, it is the aim of the Legio naires to devote their energies and if j need be their lives to the betterment . of the communities in which they liye- ; The local American Legion Post is working with you to pave the way to , r patriotism and better education^ a service to the nation, state, and com- ' munit" in time of peace as well as in » wart HARRY SNYDER POST, No. 193, Cape May, New Jersey-
