cities. and a report will shortly De

One OF Ayres' tests is: How strong
ly do the schools draw the children
and how long do they hold them?
The average American city carries

half Of them through the eighth grade.
and one-tenth through the high school.
This means that the average Ameri-
can school is not doing all that II Is
assumed TO do.
The number OF pupils who drop out
before they finish the eighth grade.
Is fair test OF any school system.
But how high do they go before they
begin TO drop out, is another impor-
tant question In the southern cities
many colored children drop out in the
fourth grade. In Baltimore. Camden,
" j.. and Newark, y. J., many drop
out in the fifth grade. The Ohio cities
lost most in the sixth grade.
Minneapolis. Boston and Grand Rap
ids keep most OF their pupils until they
are through with the seventh grade
In Quincy and Hayerhill. Mass. the
children don't stop until they are in
the eighth grade.
Another test OF school efficiency Is:
How many children have TO repeat
their grades?"
In Somerville. Mass. only 6.5 per
cent OF the children have TO go through
a grade more than once; Camden.
n J.. sends 80 per cent OF her chill.
dren through her grades twice. This
means that her schools cost her 30
per cent more than they ought TO.
In the average city only Is per cent
of the children are repeaters.
Attendance at school is another test.

many as three-fourths OF the children
