lina to the service of the Confed
erate States- and 1-1 per cent, of
the white voters are reported in
the concensus as illiterate, the
State in this particular standing
practically at the bottom of the
roll of States: and
WHEREAS it is largely because
they lacked opportunity, largely
because they "had no chance,''
that these people, brothers and
sisters of ours, are illiterate today

years of war and reconstruction,
and the years of poverty that fol

child may "burgeon out all there
is within him:" and
WHEREAS the State has now
come to a poignant realization of
its duty not only to provide schools
for the boys and girls of today,
but also to open the doors ol
knowledge, of hope and oppor
tunity for all who were neglected
in her days of poverty: and
