F 4 S STUDENTSMAKE
COCO HIGHER Up
Principal Colebank Gets Re
ports on Forty-Six Now
in College.

George H. Colebank, principal OF the
{ high school, has just recently, upon re-
quest, received from the registrars OF
several colleges, the semester reports
OF the greater number Of Fairmont
high school graduates who are ,contin.
utng their education in institutions of
higher learning. The colleges report.
ing are: Carnegie Technical Institute
OF Pittsburgh, University OF Pitts.
burgh, West Virginia University, Cor.
nell University, Wilson College, Smith
College, Western Maryland College
for Women.
The reports indicate that Fairmont
boys and girls are doing well in their
college studies. Out Of total OF for
ty.six reports only four. students are
failing in any studies and these were
freshmen who will be very likely to
recover themselves and remove the
conditions In the school semester. OF
course these students who have the
best records in their high school work
as rule have the best standing in col.
lege. ls, vi
The registrar of West Virginia Uni.
versity was requested to send to the
principal of the Fairmont high school
the records Of all freshmen from one
OF the largest and best high schools of
the state, one that has been quoted as
turning out more efficient graduates
than Fairmont high. These reports
were requested in order that com.
parison might be made In the two
schools from the data in this particu-
lar. It has been found from an exam
nation OF the reports of the freshmen
Of the two high schools that ?
Fairmont high school graduates.
freshmen In university, average 500
per cent. In all their studies;
Graduates OF the other city high
school freshmen in the university
average 701 per cent. In al their
studies.
It can be readily seen from this one
j study OF comparison that the local
high school ranks even above what is
considered one of the best high schools
in the state.
It may be Interesting to note the re-
port Of Fairmont graduate who Is
taking an Engineering course in which
there is much difficult mathematics.
This is his record for this year In the
state university: Analytic geometry.
81 per cent; physics g. So per cent
physics 2, 80 per cent; descriptive
geometry, SO per cent; advanced sur.
veying, S5 per cent; mechanical draw.
ing. 90 per cent.
It should be observed that this stu.
dent took all of the courses offered in
mathematics In the high school and
did excellent work. Records of some
other students are equally as good. OF
course, some few have poor standing
in the university In mathematics but
their standing was the same in the
high school. Perhaps they had little
capacity for mathematics and did not
apply themselves well to the study.
From Smith college, the registrar
writes, "A very desirable college stu.
dent. Wonld be glad to have some
moro of your graduates !.
One of the local students in Car
negIe Tech has received few points
additional for excellence OF work.
