  I don't refute the King's cite, but I'd be interested to know precisely
what "evidence shows that majority literacy was achieved under the largely
market-based systems of the early 19th century," and what the "majority"

would hope for a literate majority.  If it was a survey of children both in
and out of formal school, I'd be much more impressed!

Membership, though!)  8^)
