PREFACE

The following figures present the complete census statistics compiled in accordance with the State law in the summer of 1918. The children of school age from 6 to 18, inclusive, show an increase, though this is smaller than usual for the negro population. The decrease in illiteracy is encouraging, as will be seen. One hundred forty-four of the one hundred fifty-two counties show a marked advance in this respect for the white children between the ages of 10 and 18, inclusive, and a hundred forty-eight of the one hundred fifty-two counties show a decreased illiteracy among the negro children. The combined figures for white and colored show that 148 counties have reduced their illiteracy since 1913. Changes in population due to industrial conditions explain the failure to show advance made in some instances. These figures give to each superintendent each individual instance of illiteracy, and I ask you to keep the papers on file and not to cease your efforts until every one of these neglected children has the opportunity for educational training. For the State, as a whole, the statistics show that there was three times the illiteracy among children of school age in 1913 when compared with the figures received in this 1918 census, the total being 9.1 per cent, at that time as compared with 3 per cent, for this year. The steady reduction which has been affected by the public schools is shown . when we compare the figures for 1908, which show 11.5 per cent, illiteracy among children of school age, as against 9.1 per cent, in 1913 and 3 per cent, in 1918.

These statistics are encouraging, but we must strengthen our

compulsory law and use every effort to see that boys and girls of

this State, without exception, receive the training to which they

are entitled for their work in life.

Very truly,

M. L. BRITTAIN,

State Superintendent of Schools.

ATLANTA, GA., Sept. 30, 1918.
