The piece argues literacy as a national priority citing a 700,000 illiterate adults and 1910 census figures. It praises Oregon’s Citizens Elementary Educational League plan to back a two mill elementary school levy to hire competent teachers and educate youth for stronger citizens.
The piece argues that schools must prepare teachers for citizenship and societal needs rather than focusing solely on the three R's. It notes pay levels, urban shifts in child life, and the risk of school closures if funding like the 2 mill levy fails, with editorial commentary on local journalism and political figures.
