Gentlemen have animadverted on the literacy conditions in my section of the countrythe South. Those conditions have been deplorable. but that was not of the seeking of the people in my country. and was not and is not what is left of the Souths illiteracy due to our unfortunate illiterate iminigration? An immigration of illiterate. servile labor? Therefore ought not the South qualify as an expert with reference to illiteracy in immigrants? My memory gses back to the sixties and the early seventies. when I knew how hard the struggle was for my people to keep the wolf from the door. I know that every boy or girl who could lift a hoe handle or follow a plow was requisitioned for the purpose of aiding in the support of our starving people.
