It has been removed at the North. it does not exist there at all. and every child that comes into the world comes into an intelligent community. surrounded by those who read and write. who have had opportunities and have had inherited opportunities and inherited improvement also as the result of education. so that it is a very different community into which the new child is born. and who. it may be. inherits these tendencies and capacities by reason of the hereditary effect of generations of education. At the South these opportunities have not existed. The illiteracy is there. The same thing is there which is produced in the North by the immense foreign immigration which has given to Massachusetts. to Old Massachusetts for instance. 108.000 illiterates today. The proposition of this bill is to attack these mountains of illiteracy wherever they are and to remove them. to elevate all to one common plane. to homogeneous conditions. the whole country over. That is what we propose to do.
