State Needs More Education Badly:

Georgions Conner
Reed Or Write

Atlanta (ANP) - Segregation
lists who would close the public
schools in the state to forestall
racial Indignation are perhaps una
ware that they would be adding
another handicap to a state al
ready under heavy penalty because
Of illiteracy.
One Of the darkest blots on
Georgia's record Is the 430, 1000
functionally illiterate adults who
founder heplessly in the baclSwash
Of society as the modern world
moves toward progress at racket
speeds.
That number of ilEterate repre-
sents approximately "a per cent Of
the states adult population. The
state shamefully ranks 47th ma
tionally in the illiteracy pattern.
In the whole United States, 1884
per cent of the adults are flInc-
tionally rhterate.
$4,000 Atlantans FunctiOnaIly
nliterate
Narrowing down to even a small
Ter area, in Metropolitan Atlanta,
with its huge expansions programs
and progressive sights, $4,000 ad-
ults, Is years of age or over, are
functionally iliterate.
OF that total, 10000 in the At
lanta Metropolitan area are Negro,
and 10000 are white.
At this point an explanation of
terms Is appropriate. A function
ally iliterate adult did not attend
school or had four years or less
of elementary school training.
Atlanta's progress, income and
culture Is slowed down by this
dead weight.
nliterates are the first to be out
of work, contribute the largest
number to relief rolls, panal In
stitutions, free hospitals and men,
tai institutions.
Help is needed from every source
and closing schools to prevent in
tegration wont help.
There are $4,000 adults in Met
ropolitan Atlanta who are fIlnc-
tionally illiterate.
They can't even read this story.
