Rural people lag almost two years behind the urban residents in educational attainment. Health facilities in rural areas are so inadequate that rural children receive onethird less medical attention than urban children. These deficiencies persist in 1966. Their effect is as grevious on urban Americathe recipient of millions of unskilled migrants from rural areas in the past two decadesas on the rundown farms and impoverished communities that still house 4.4 million poor rural families. Most of the problems of rural America would be immediately manageable if there were private jobs in sufficient number and the skills to perform those jobs. This bill would be a long step toward filling both needs.
