Illiteracy and fitness in youth spur national preparation
A Cedar Rapids editorial urges universal athletic training and annual physical surveys in schools to raise mental and physical standards for youth. It credits Pershing’s warning on national readiness and supports civilian camps and universal training as best military policy.

The Jones board backs a new primary road project with federal and state aid, while cautioning against opposition. Weekend traffic and changing social norms draw comment as 1921 shifts away from rest to activity.
