THE WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVE!
'ONLY SMALL PERCENTAGE OF L
ij: STUDENTS FINISH HI SCHOOL
10
m Of every 1,000 pupils entering the p.
r. public schools of the nation for the J JS
first time, only 260 are finally grad- i t[
?5 uated from high school, according to n.
a studv ?f* survival rates nu??ip bv
15 the Office of Education, Washington, p.
D. C-. and recently issued in a bul- I
letin.
e. Making allowance for duplication,
the bulletin says, it is now estimated 4
a- that of an original 1,000 entering <
the public schools for the first time,
n 855 reach the seventh grade. 610 4
the first year of the high school, -138 i
fO reach the second year, 321 reach th
thivd year, 268 reach the fourth 4
18 year, and 260 finally graduate from j 4
high school. j .
i- The study did not embrace survi- '
val rates by years beyond the high 14
>; school, but pointed out that a con- j .
servative estimate for the year would
)r indicate that 160 of the original 1,000 j 4
entered college and 50 were grad- ^
uated. The average iengtli of public
school life today is jut a little be- j 4
yond the completion of the first year : j
1, of high school, the study reveals.
This study used in connection with 4
a related investigation made last yearj^
by Dr. Everett Lord, dean of the 1
college of Business Administration of i 4
Boston University, should prove very ; ^
r interesting, according to educational 1
\ officials. Dr. Lord questioned 7,396 M
individuals, bankers, business and ! ^
^ professional men, craftsmen, minis- !
" ters and teachers, to see if there was 4
^ any relation between the educational 4
level ol these inutViuUSis aim "their ^
- earning capacity. | 4
He found that as a class the ele- 1 4
e mentary school graduate will have a
larger earning capacity, and the col- S|
le^e graduate a still larger earning ^
g power. The study snow ed that dur- j J
ing his entire lifetime, the elemen- \%k
tary school graduate will, on an av- ?
erage, earn a total ol 2>'i4.UUU. the ! . |
high school graduate will earn ?S^.- !*
