 Allow me to correct 2 statement made in the Stanley Notes in your issue Of yesterday, March g, and attributed 10 mn, 10 the effect that Connecticut is "thc muS' illi'5rai" stat" in tn" country This is far from true. The large numbers Of unschooled admits of foreign birth who ar" Hooking into tho state still m spite Of so-caIl"d restrictive inn migrant legislation. have given ris" 10 q steady increase of ilIlteratcs during several decades. This was To b" expected and all the North At lantic States have suffered from the samr cause. The fact however that Connecticut is the only state where the percentage of illltoracy is stead fly increasing, Is what arrests our attention and calls for iurthc and unusual efforts 10 combat. This re- quires attention by industries en- ployinE unskillcd labor and by all Of us who come into contact with nn- schoolc1 adults. The most ill'orate states are in th" south. The most liternta states are in the Middle West New York state has 'ho largest number of census illiteratcs
