OUR STATE LEAD IN ILLITERACY State Department of Educe Commission, Making a Mc Ignorance In S The State Department of Education, assisted by the Illiteracy Commission, has made a vigorous fight against the illiteracy which exists in our state and now that the census figures for 1920 have been published, it i- a matter of just pride, that South Carolina leads the L'nion in reducing her percentage from 25.7 per cent in 1! 10 to 1S.1 percent in li?20. In rank among i the states, South Carolina still maintains the next to bottom place, rank-] ing below every state save Louisiana. In white illiteracy the state has climbed from third place from the bottom in 11*20 to sixth place in 1!>20, now ranking above Xcw Mexico, Louisiana. North Carolina, Tonne -ce and Kentuck,\. In negro illiteracy the tin* state ties with Mississippi for third place, maintaining the same position of I .?10. While this record i" t;fics to the work which the public schools and the schools for adults have been doing, there is yet much work to l>e (foiic* before wo can rank with many of our si.-tor states.

According' to the 1020-1021 report of the State Superintendent of Kdu- ! ration, 1 1 ..">00 pupils wore enrolled in the 12v schools during the past year. ( Thirteen counties, \iken, Anderson, , ] IMckens, Richland, Spartanburg*. Sumtor and York, enrolled over 300 pupils. , 1 So: rtanburg* led the state with an enrollment of 1,3-19; Anderson came next with 033 pupils, while CJi'eenxille took !.ifd plae* with an enrollment of 73.~> ' pupil>. Only seven comities in the I -f to reported no work. 1 Yacl kvm'!y 2.000 pupils were perfect jit. attendance. In the first erade . \ ior? wfi'o ! ! "0 pupil while 3.430 of thi number .learned to read. For instnr'M'on of the punils the state paid ?3.*.r> pei* white pupil and ft t.30 per negro pupil. Some schools were in session I throughout the entire ye*?T. During I tho winter the work was pushed J among the mill villages and in small towns, while the summer months worn I largely devoted to tho "Lay-by" schools in country districts. The teaching in the winter was principally done by day teachers at night while during the summer special teachers were employed to devote their entire lime to the work. Schools were usually taught in .he public schools, although some were held in churches and some in homes. Wherever a group of pupils and a teacher could meet, there a school was formed. Tho figures just given for state and county demonstrate tho worth of tho { adult work. The fact that 2 000 mi-i pils did not miss a session signifies tin? keen desire of (ho adult to acquire learning. They canio to school after a hard day's work through wintor's cold and summer's heat and struggled good-naturedly over their lessons. Often a teacher or victor would hear thorn express genuine regret that they had been deprived of an education in youth, out they rejoiced in tin1 opportunity now given them by the state and were happy i?. the thought that compulsory education now makes it possible for children to grow up with educational advantages. The greatest good which is coming to the state from this work is not to he found in the fact that many people are learning to read and write, hut that the ,adult pupils are j reawakening to a larger realization of I their duty to the community and state. They no longer foel that they I never had a chance and further their | example of attending school is causing | many persons with little education to pull down their hooks, who, if left to themselves, would have fallen into ili j , 1110racy. I The figures com pi loci from the report shows that Horry county ranks ? nigh among the counties <?f tne state THE HORRY HERALD CONW ii. pushing: this phase of educational1 work.
