ILLITERACY AND THE RURAL SCHOOL
Hardly are we given time to grasp the Census Bureau’s new facts
about illiteracy in the United States before the Bureau of Education
gives us its own interpretation of some of them. Illiteracy, as viewed
by the Census Bureau, means inability to write on the part of those
ten years old and over. As a nation the number of illiterates among
us decreased from 10.7 per cent of the population in 1900 to 7.7 per
cent in 1910. In spite of this decrease a bulletin by A. C. Monahan of
the Bureau of Education refers to the “relatively high rate of
illiteracy” in the country and says that this rate is due not to
immigration but to the lack of educational opportunities in rural
districts. The percentage of rural illiteracy is twice that of urban,
although approximately three-fourths of the immigrants are in the
cities. Still more significant is a comparison between children born in
this country of foreign parents with those born of native parents.
Illiteracy among the latter is more than three times as great as that
among the former, “largely,” says Mr. Monahan, “on account of the
lack of opportunities for education in rural America.”
The decrease in national illiteracy during the decade 1900–1910
was not only relative but absolute, despite the growth of the
population. In 1900 the figure was 6,180,069. In 1910 it was
5,516,163. But while illiteracy among the total population was
decreasing, that among the foreign born whites remained almost
stationary. In 1900 the percentage was 12.9, in 1910 12.7. Among the
whites born in this country the decrease during the decade was from
4.6 to 3 per cent. Illiteracy among the Negroes showed a decrease of
almost one-third. In 1900 44.5 of the whole Negro population could
not write; in 1910 the percentage was 30.4.
The distribution of illiteracy between the sexes was very even.
Among males it amounted 7.6 of the total, among females to 7.8.
There was less of it among white females, however, than among
white males, the percentage for the former being 4.9, for the latter 5.
White girls and women born outside of this country show more
illiteracy than men and boys of the same class, but those born in the
United States show less than native males, as follows:
This naturally raises the great question of what these students will
do with their experience after they graduate from college.
