Book Description

Excerpt from First Report of the Alabama Illiteracy Commission: April 2, 1915 October 1, 1916 Being the first official record to be published, I have deemed it best to include therein facts relating to the his tory of the movement in Alabama and interesting phases of the work, as well as the usual features which such a report would necessarily contain. The splendid co-operation given by those delegated with the responsibility of carrying the work forward deserves the praise of every patriotic Alabamian. As the member of the Commission whose duties have afforded the opportunity of Observing this generous and patriotic co operation, I take this occasion to thank the liberal-hearted citizens of the State for personal and efficient service; women's clubs, com mercial, educational and religious organizations for their valued support; and especially those Alabama teachers who have responded so willingly to the call for volunteer workers.
