Education Week
Being Observed
American Education Week
grew out of the First World War.
Twenty five per cent of the men
examined in the draft were illit
erate; 20 percent were physically
unfit; many were foreign-born
and had little understanding of
American life. During the War,
schools were drained of teach
ers, especially men. In the Fall
of 1920, thousands of schools
were closed for want of teachers.
A campaign of public informa
tion was needed to correct this
situation. A long-range program
for the extension of education
was needed to reduce illiteracy
and physical unfitness. Members
of the American Legion consult
ed with educators and the first
American Education Week was
observed in 1921.
The broad purpose of Amer
ican Eduction Week has become
that of acquainting the people
with the needs, aims, and ach
ievements of the schools.
The population of the United
States is 132 million. Of this pop
ulation over thirty million per
sons are enrolled m public schools
and colleges, nearly 29 million
of this number being in the ele
mentary and high schools. To
that figure must be added 3 mil
lion pupils in private and par
ochial schools. To care for the
pupils thus enrolled there an
over a million teachers. In spite
of the huge number of pupil
and teachers and others wlio are
dependent upon education fo
their livelihood, the cost of pub
lie education is only ten cents a
day to each person of voting age.
