DANBURY LEADS ENTIRE gram.
Smaller Percentage of [Intel-ates 'l'hore.
Than in Any Other City.
Statistics just issued-by the United
States Census Bureau give Danbury
the distinction of having the small-
est percentage of liliterates among its
population of any city in Connecti-
cut. The. census of 1920 disclosed
the fact that there were in Danbury ,
at that time 596 persons classed as
llllterates and that they formed 3.7
per cent. of the population of the
combined city and town. The per-
centage in other cities of the State
ranges from 15.1 per cent. in Derby
to 4.4 per cent. in Norwalk. the int-
tcr place most nearly approaching
lliinbury's figures.
According to the census of 1920
there are 67.265 illiterate persons ten
years of age find over in the State
of Connecticut. "illiterate" meaning
unable to read or write. Of this
number 1.53:! are native whites of
native parentage. and 63.131 are of
foreign birth. The number of illit-

There is less illiteracy in the rural

percentage of illiteracy is 0.2. while
the rural is 0.8. In the case of the ne-
gro population the percentage is 6.1
in the urban population. as against 6.8
in the rural. *
By counties. the percentage of illit-
eracy ranges from 6,6 in New Haven
county to 5.0 in Mitidlescx county.
New Haven has 8,046 illiterate per-

6.3 per cent. of the total above that
age. Percentages and totals of other
