Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Compulsory School Attendance and Child Labor: A Study of the Historical Development of Regulations Compelling Attendance and Limiting the Labor of Children in a Selected Group of States Our national experiences during the years 1917-20 have served to emphasize the importance of education. It was found that in the emergencies of war the man with developed mind and skilled hand, the man whom the schools had trained, could adjust himself readily to new requirements. In factory and laboratory, in camp and on the battlefield, he demonstrated his superiority over those whose opportunity for systematic training had been narrowly restricted or altogether lacking. It was also found that a dangerously large proportion of our young men had arrived at maturity with so little learning as to make it necessary to classify them, for army purposes, as illiterate. The federal census, loosely taken and inaccurate as it is admitted to be, shows that seven of every one hundred of the population above ten years of age are absolutely illiterate, unable to write their names or read the simplest print. The report of the Surgeon-General of the United States Army, based upon an examination of the selected body of men constituting the draft army, is still more disquieting, showing as it does that one man out of every four is unable to read and write in English. Some comfort can be derived from the fact that of those classified as illiterates, 14.2 per cent are negroes and a considerable proportion of the remainder foreign born.
