Alabama, and 63 in North Carolina
the lowest of all the states. The ratio
of illiteracy in North Carolina is As per
cent. of the whole population over the
age of 10, and is nearly as large as in
the territory of New Mexico. There
are $500 school teachers in North Caro-
lima. a larger number than in any New
England state with the single excep-
tion Of Massachusetts; but for some
reason. which does not appear to be en-
tirely plain, 4,500 of the school teachers
of North Carolina are men. whereas in
most of the states of the country. and
notably so in New England and the
west the great majority of school
teachers are women. The salaries paid
to male teachers are usually larger
than those paid to female teachers, and
it may he due to this fact that North
Carolina stands so poorly in respect to
school instruction, s630,000 of the school
fund going for teachers salaries and
only $ljO,O00 for all other expenses. In
Pennsylvania, for instance, the salaries
of teachers of schools amount collcc-
lively to less than one-half of the total
school expenditures. Georgia is an
other state in which. though in a small
cr ratio. male teachers predominate.
Nearly the entire school fund of Geor-
gia goes for teachers salaries: there is
very little left for anything else.
