As usual, the name I would pick wasn't exactly there. I liked Adult and
Communite Education (ACE), but didn't care for the "Literacy System" tacked
on to the end of it.

I have a question about the "System" part, though. To me, calling it a
system implies some level of national organization that I'm not sure is
exactly there at this point. Is this a goal? Or am I just unaware? Or are we
calling the somewhat loosely-connected variety of programs around the
country a "system"?
