MISS KELLY ON ILLITER
ACY
ftUJa Cmh* Of Illiteracy, SIm
Says, b iMcUquate lilliil
Raleigh, Oct. *8—A brief In tho
eaas ef Illiteracy n. 8UU of North
Carolina haa been prasaatii by Mlaa
Elisabeth Kelly, who repreeenta Um
adaH UllUratM rvaa though aha Is
ntakwd by tha Mala, that malm
startling reading to Um>m who hart
boon thinking that all that waa noM
la tho stato educationally waa more
money from tho legialatare.
' Tho main cauae of Illiteracy In
North Carolina, aaya Mlaa Kelly, has
boon an Inadequate school ayetem.
Tha present ijrftoB of echoola cannot
ha b la mod, and oompuleory education
may horoaftor make lltornto every
child eapabU of becoming M, bat tho
facta of Illiteracy now art that:
"In tho oloctlon for state officers
In 1M0 North Carolina's native whlto
rural UlltaratM could havo outvoted
all lltarata whlto urban rotors In tha
stato and hars had moro than two
hundred rotM to span.
"In this sassa election had all na
thrs whlto rotor* go no to tho polls
than would hars boon ons In wry
group of eeven who could not . wrlto
his nafflo, and ono In every four who
could no* hars road his ticket."
ThaM sta Union Is by Miss Kolly
ars baaod on federal consua figures
and "urban" means tho 84 towns of;
North Carolina with three thousand i
or moro population.
Miss Kolly says that North Caro
lina perhaps has the moat progressive I
legislation of any stato for tho elhn-1
ination of Illiteracy, and that the1
need is for s demsnd so insistent and
poraiatent that, the law may be put
into effect
And then striking her stride, which
aha herself would probably rafer to
as a "lope," Miss Kelly asks some
questions:
Do ministers of the gospel really
want people to read their Bibleaf
Do leaders of civic organisations
think they have need for a follow
ing capable, of intelligent Interpreta
tion?
Do public health workers believe
.It Is poMihle to minister to ths in
dividual needs of people who cannot
read?
do agricultural ana nome-maxmg
departments hop* to oonviae* |Hfli
of the beat ways to farm and make
homaa ao lone •« ,oeh • fmt pro
portion of the rural population must
depend on second-hand information
and are at the mercy of back-door'
whisperer* and propagandists ?
Do welfare workers believe that j
illiteracy tends toward perpetuating
itself?
It is fair or aafe to continue to <g-1
' nore the need* of the illiterates ?
Do educators, "real or so-called,"!
really believe in education for all the j
people?
And finally, wouldn't It he wise to
' stop trying \o build an educational
system from the top down and try
building from tht ground up?
Which is to say, there should be J
efficient rural elementary schools. ,
Says Miss Kelly in closing her ap
peal:
"As rural elementary schools grow
better illiteracy grows leaa. The em
phasis needs to be placed here in our
state school system today. The ele
mentary school needs to be standard
ised and aa a part of its standard
equipment there should be a claas for
exceptional education, that, among
other things, should undertake to
leave no citisen in any community
unable to read a newspaper or maga
zine article, a chapter in elementary
1 history, or selected chapters from the
j Hible and give the thought contained, i
"Will you. a citizen of North Caro-'
lina, face this situation squarely and
lend a hand, or will you continue to
shy off from facta because the facta
j Br* unpleasant? Education such as
this is not orthodox, but it is demo
cratic and Christian. Prom the es
tablished order of church and state
and from beaten paths of education
we are hoping for a sufficient num
ber of proselytes to pot this Job
arruss."
