To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And as long as no facilities existed for adult education, the adult alien iUiterates were not affected. Schools using rate-bills could not well cope with the problem of illiteracy. What was true of these schools and alien illiterates would also be true concerning any other group of illiterates. The number of negroes, both free and slave, was small in both states. The census for 1830 reported thirty-two slaves in Michi- gan, notwithstanding the prohibitory clause of the ordinance of 1787. The sa...me census reported twenty-five in Connecticut, and in 1840 but seventeen. Free negroes never exceeded 10,000 in Connecticut during the period, and in 1853 there were but 3,336 in Michigan. Two questions are involved. First, would the presence of either free or slave negroes constitute a factor of influence in securing free schools? Second, granting that these elements had an influence, was the number of negroes suffi- ciently large in either state to exert such an influence? In answer to the first question, we may note the following conditions: (1) Either slaves or free negroes helped to increase illiteracy; (2) slavery, per se, does not seem to have been a retarding or a favor- ing factor in free school development in some slave states.
