Book excerpt: Excerpt from Alabama College, the State College for Women, Vol. 29: The Fortieth Anniversary; October 1936 The South has been particularly slow to consider this important aspect of the problem Of progress. Its backwardness in the support of its schools is witness to that fact. The educational picture of the South is well known to all of us. Southern states uniformly occupy the lowest position in the scale of educational achievement on any index you may choose to use. All tables showing educational excellence are the same. One of three or four southern states is the lowest. Usually the three Or four lowest positions are occupied by the states of this region. Along with that is the record of the highest illiteracy rate in the Union. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
