1lliteracy in the
United States

show more than 100000 illiterates In
a group of nine Southern states, one
third of them native whites.
Indications are that the army of H.
literates in the United States will not
fall far short of 6,OOO,OOO or Z, 900, 900.
There has been progress, however, and
notably in the Southern states. Geor-
gia, for example. has 32S, S,S3S Hitter
ates, but the percentage of ifliteracy
Is 1913, as compared with 2O.7 in191O.
South Educating Its Peor
Alabama has reduced it's nv \cy
from 22.9 per cent in 1910 to
cent in 1920; Louisiana from

pa per cent to III per cent; Souty
Carolina from 25.7 per cent to 1871 ~
cent, and North Carolina from 1S.6/per
cent to 1871 per cent.
AT this rate, even without tie pro-
posed help of the federal government.
the South should be virtually free
from illiteracy in 80 years. In the
meantime the states that have large
foreign-born population are faced with
even greater problems than the South.

Country Reducing Figure.
One of the striking revelations OF
the war was the large amount of ma
tive white illiteracy. and the 1920 fig.
ures tell very much the same story
While in states like Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana and South Carolina the
problem is still mainly one OF the ne
gro, in Kentucky and Tennessee the
native white illiterates actually ont.

The 1910 census gave the United
States an illiteracy record Of Z 7-1O
per cent. Indications are that the
1920 figure, unless the immigrant
states of the East show UP too badly,
will run around 5ia and per cent
still considerably above the ilIiteracy
figure for England, France, Germany,
