Will the Senator from Kansas permit me to make a single remark in the same direction as the observation of the Senator from Massachusetts? There is no excuse fbr any person of the most moderate degree of intelligence born and brought up in Connecticut who can not read and write. I have personally known but one such instance. there are doubtless others to be found. But the State is upon the seashore. and a considerable number of immigrants stop there who have not been fortunate in the places of their nativity. There is. therefore. reported against us a considerable amount of illiteracy. and we do the best we can with it.
