Galician Education,To the Editor of the New*.Sir:—Kindly allow rite space to cor rpct a statement published by you in your lost issue. So nearly us I cun estimate after nearly four years observation, fully 35% cf male adult Galicians can read and write their own language, and many of these also read and write Polish. Of the children who were attending school any length lt;»t time in the old country before leaving for Canada, nearly all can read and write. Education there, is conducted by the State on excellent lines, and attendance is compulsory, though often shirked. Naturally a year or two without schooling, throws any child back. Thus barring the children born in Canada, 1 estimate that fully fifty per cent, of Galician children here e tu lead and write. Regarding the women, i have no data, I may state that in many instances, 1 have found Galicians prefacing to sign receipts and other documents with a cross or mark, who afterwards, I found out, couid both read and write.Yours etc.Paul Wood,Sifton Iec. 2K 10 h).
