City Is Well Repre-
sented in Colleges of
the Country
378 ENROLLED
AS FRESHMEN
University of Michigan
Naturally Gets Larg-
est Number

According 70 information received
by the Board OF Education, the ~.
troit high schools nave broken all
records IN the number of graduates
who have entered the various col
leges and uniycrsities and other
higher institutions of learning. Ap-
proXimatcly 37S students from the
high schools Of the city have en-
tered as freshmen in the higher
schools Of the country. This does not
include the 80 students who entered
the Martindale Normal college. The
percentage of students who have
graduated from high school and who
have entered The colleges this year
is almost one out of every two grad
yates.
All colleges and other higher in
stitutions in this country recognize
the credits given in the local schools
towards entering and any student
showing the credentials from local
high school principals can enter
these colleges without having TO
take an entrance examination. The
students who are thus passed on by
the principals must have done either
good or excellent work in all studies
for the last two years of his course
in the high school and they must
also show that they have chosen
some line of work or some profes-
sion for which they intend training
them elves.
Most cf the students entering the
higher institutions this year from
Detroit have enrolled in literary
courses, while large number have
also taken up some branch of en-
gincering, but the professions which
were so popular several years ago,
the branches Of law. medicine and
the ministry have captured few stu.
dents from local schools. None have
taken a course which will prepare
them for the church.

troit students who have enrolled at
the advanced schools. and the
