Reports Show an Astounding
Decrease in II|iteracy Among
:.
White Children.
STATES WILL BE ASKED
TO AID TEACHERS MORE
Commissioner Claxton Urges Child's
Right to Have 100 Days of
Schooling Each Year.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, November Is
At a gathering of southern industrial.
educational and religious leaders held
here today, P. P. Claxton, national COM
missioner Of education, called to the
nation to realize anew that the pre-
paredness demanded by the future
must begin in childhood. Mr.. Claxton
urged that every child in America has
a right to $50 days of thorough train
ing every year of the school age. To
get a permanent corps of teachers, the
commissioner further pleaded with the
authorities to provide a teachers home
at every important rural school center.
The efficiency scheme outlined by the
commissioner includes county Ii
b.ary, with the schools as distributing
centers, a farm from five to fifty acres
used for instruction purposes as well
as a demonstration farm for the COM
munity, and ultimately an all-year ses-
sion to bring full and equal opportunity
of education to every boy and girl in
America.
He reported that since 1900 there had
been marked reduction in the per-
centage of illiteracy in the southern
states among white children between
the ages of ten and twenty. In 1900
the percentage 9.5. in 1910 it was
5.5. and in 1914 il was 4. Commissioner
Claxton declared the reduction of i'll
literary among colored children of the
same age was even more astounding.
Purposes of the Conference.
In his Introductory remarks the
chairman. W. H. Smith, president of
the southern conference for education
and industry, explained that the meet
ing was held upon the invitation of the
conference to work out a plan for the
cooperation of the national bureau Of
education, the southern conference, to-
gether with industrial, denominational,
state and county agencies, in cam
paign for an adequate educational force
in every county in the south. This is
the first step toward the realization of
the commissioners ideal.
From data collected by the national
bureau of education Mr.. Smith stated
that the executive office of the con-
ference is making a list of the south
ern counties that now employ 1) a
whole-time county superintendent with
a minimum salary of s25 for every
teacher in the county UP to sixty. CD a
stenographer and clerk for the county
superintendent, go a supervising as
sistant, looking after the Improvement
of both the equipment and the teaching
of the school. The plan is for all
forces to join hands in local campaigns
in the hope that every county in the
south during 1916 can be added to the
list.
