In teaching personnel, physicial equip:nent, organization en rollment, financial support, regular ity of attendance, public interest and scholastic ' Et-'njr.rJs, substantial improvement has been during the of the county arc among the very be.<5t. All esccpt two of the 139 while teachers hold Class A certificates which are equivalent to four years of standard college tVRining. Every one of the 56 col ored teachers holds the Class A cw- tifkate or has done four^years of standard college work. Nearly all tc.ichers have earned their college de. grees. Those who have not done so will complete the required^class work ! and receive them within the next y«ar I or two.

This con dition does not exist because schools were not avafable or capable of teaching those illiterates to read and write before they reached the age of ten. These people, with few ex ceptions, are illiterate because they failed to attend the- schools provided for their benefit. It seems that the County and State are permitting a new crop of illiterates to grow up each year.
