Larry pointed out in a recent article that Mississippi has the lowest per
capita public education spending in the country.  This I do not dispute.

I have heard as recently as 1982 that Mississippi does not even have a
mandatory public education law, and consequently, most rural black
children do not go to school because they have to work in the cotton
fields!  The person who told me this was the head of Mississippi Legal
Aid Services, so I would expect her to be an authority.  If this is true,
I think the situation is abominable!
