Abstract
When the United States declared war against Germany, four million men were chosen for military and naval service. Many thousands were tested in ability to read. Two types of tests were given: the Alpha, which required ability to read and write; and the Beta, for foreigners and illiterates. Since about one-quarter of the men judged were unable to take the Alpha tests, there must have been more than one million of our soliders and sailors who were unable to write simple letters or to read a newspaper with ease.
