Henry Ford and public schools..

by jpguitfiddler

Hi, I remember at one point in time hearing a story about Henry Ford. What I remember is that he was having trouble in his factories because most of the working class at the time were illiterate and couldn't do basic math. So he turned to the President of the time about creating public schools to help with that. I can't find any information about this, can someone shed some light? Thanks!!
