THE WAR AGAINST ILLITERACY The great war against autocracy , is but th war against illiteracy goe.-i sic. >lily > m and must continue until victory has crowned the efforts of those struggling against ,his sinister monster. < The great war in Europe could never ha\ he- \ no- hie without the ignorant-- of tin- (icrman soldiery.

It was printed in 1897: "We take pleasure in answering at ^ once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered umong the friends of The Sun: Dear Editor: I am eight years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa saiys, "if you see it in The Sun it's so." Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus? Virginia O'Hanlon. 115 W. Ninety-fifth St. Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected* by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible in their little minds. All minds, Virginia, ? wnemer mey De men s or enuurens lire little. In this great universe of )urs man is a mere insect, an ant, in liis intellect, as compared with the ooundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exists, uid you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be h,. world if there were no Santa Jin us! It would be as tireary as if here were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no < ;>oetry, no romance, to make tolerible this existence. We should have 10 enjoyment except in scnse and T ight. The eternal light with which hiidhood fills the world would be xtinguushed. Not believc in Santa Claus! You ^ night as well not believe in fairies! w You might get your papa to hire men oc lo watch all the chimneys on Christ- | nas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but vcn if they did not see Santa Claus oming down, what would that prove? ^ Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that b ,s no sign that there is no Santa ;ii Claus. The most real things in the ^ world are those that neither children lor men can see. Uid you ever see W fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that ihey are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that uro unseen and unseeable in the world. " You tear apart the baby's rattle ( and see what makes the noise inside, ^ Put there is a veil covering the un- ^ seen world which net the strongest ^ man, nor even the united strength of ^ all the strongest men that ever lived, ? could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, a poetry, love and romance, can push 8i aside that curtain and view and pic- ^ lure the supernal beauty and elorv ^ beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virgin'a, ? in all this world there is nothing else 'J real and abiding. ^ No Santa Claus? Thank God he ^ lives, and he lives forever. A thou- * sand years from now, Virgina, nay, ^ ten times tcln thousand years from e now, he will continue to make glad ^ the heart of childhood. o AMBITIOUS ATLANTA ? The Atlanta papers are now agitat- n irig for a subway for that city. Won- c ler if the recent visit of Secretary ^ McAdoo, the great tunnel builder, e had anything to do with the propo- a sition. It's a wonder those Atlanta a people don't begin to agitate for a ^ harbor jike New York has, with a statue of Liberty in the middle of it. u 1'hat would seem to us a far more desirabl,. acquisition than a subway, 11 though probably more difficult to se- 8 cure. 1 GIRLS!.
