63 Pupils in Rural Schools Passed
the Eighth Grade Examinations
and are Ready for High
School
MANY FAIL TO MAKE
REQUIRED GRADES
Total Of 35l Entered but Few At
tempted TO Take All Subjects
Alice Friend Scores
Highest Grade

Announcement has just been made
by County Supt G. F. Newell that out
of the 351 who took the county eighth
grade examinations, 63 passed with
the required Is per cent average and
will be awarded diplomas slgnifying
that they have completed all eighth
grade work in the public schools and
are ready to enter the high school.
All glance it would appear that So
out Of 951 is not an exceedingly good
batting average for the school chill
dren of the county. AL least an aver
age like that would not get by in fast
company However, and fortunately
there is another side to the question.
A comparatively small per cent of the
total entries took the entire examina-
tion. Many were content to take but
two Or three Of the thirteen required
subjects, while some took half a
dozen They will complete the requir-
ec studies at the next examination,
which is held some time in May Thus
they are not required to rush the 10
subjects into so small a time and can
take more care, and probably make
better grades.
Also, quite number of seventh
graders took the examination, just to
try it out. or took one or two subjects,
intending to pass in them and be re
| lieved Of that work next year,
Last year a few over 100 made pass
ing grades out Of the 29S taking the
examination, better showing by some
odds The highest general average
this year was made by Alice Friend,
aged Is, Of Friend school, the grade
/ being 92 7-1S per cent out of possi-
Bile 100 Last year the high grade was
| 80 2-S per cent.
