Second World War. for example. when the industrial activities of the Nation accelerated and expanded so swiftly. thousands of additional workers were needed in urban centers. Most of the new workers required in large industrial establishments moved from rural sections to cities and large masses migrated from the southern States to -the North. Thousands of workers. for example. came from Mississippi and Alabama to Detroit and Cleveland. Many of the migrants had far less education than their fellow workers who were native. A considerable percentage had less than 5 years schooling and could. therefore. be classed as functionally illiterate. An intensive educational program was established within industry to fit these new workers for their occupational duties.
