literates in making the school census.
Here again the standard is different
from that set up by federal census.
According to the Virginia enumera-
ton in 1910, II pc rcent of the popu-
lation from 10 to 20 years Of age IN
elusive was ifhserate,} whereas II
1920 Al per cent was illiterate.
1T is interesting to observe that in
1920 there was 1.9 per cent more il
literacy among males than females in
the population of the state 10 years
of age and older, about twice as much
illiteracy in the country as in the city,
62.7 per cent of the total illiteracy of
these ages being colored and 37.3 per
cent white.
THE obvious conclusion to be
drawn from the evident economic loss
due to illiteracy is the strict state
vide enforcement Of the compulsory
attendance law, the further extension
Of vacation schools for both adults and
children, and the equalization Of edu-
cational opportunities for all the chill
dren Of the commonwealth.
IF the preponderance Of illiteracy
in the rura! section OF the state is
to be eliminated, the children of this
section must be provided with edu-
cational opportunities equal in char
acter and length of terms to those
provided for city children.
"ITliteracy can not be ignored. 1t IS
too costly and will require at least
two generations for its elimination in
Virginia on the basis of decrease from
1910 to 1920. This it should be added
is not a problem for Virginia alone
Experts have computed that it will
require "a years for the illiteracy OF
the United States to be wiped out
on the present basis of decrease. Vir,
ginia is making real progress and
with this as a basis even more car
be brought to pass"
