I was browsing an educational website today and came across this study done by Educational Testing Services(ETS) complete with a video presentation. It is excellent and well worth a look. They've done some compelling work to back up my argument for a move toward a national education system!

“Most people don't realize how important librarians are. I ran across a book recently which suggested that the peace and prosperity of a culture was solely related to how many librarians it contained. Possibly a slight overstatement. But a culture that doesn't value its librarians doesn't value ideas and without ideas, well, where are we?”
