Abstract
THE educational status of a nation consists in the amount of literacy, number of teachers, and number of persons in its primary and secondary schools, and in its colleges and universities, relative to population. The status of knowledge may be indicated by the number of books, periodicals, and newspapers relative to population. This knowledge may take two forms, one gained through books, the other through periodicals and newspapers. One is knowledge in general; the other consists more in current information.
