BOYS Leave
school. EARLY
Figures Show That Youths
Quit at End of Eighth
Grade.-Girls go
On.
NEED JUNIOR H. s.
Boys Outnumber Girls in
Grades.-Reverse True
in II. S.
NEED JUNIOR H. S.

The need of establishing a junior
high school system such as 1T cOntenl-
plated with the completion of the new
high school building is emphasized by
enrolment figures given out today by
Superintendent Il. X. Sifcrt. Mr..
Sifert points out that in the grade
schools here the enrolment of boys eX-
cceds the enrolment of girls while in
the high school these figures are revers-
ed. This proves that the boys are
cropping out of school when they com
pictc their work in the eighth grade.
Under the junior high school system,
the boys tend to remain in school until
they finish the ninth grade. At least
this is the effect the system has had
in other cities where it was adopted
and it is believed it will accomplish
the same results here. This added
year is devoted largely to business and
mechanical instruction.
Enrolment Figures.
The total enrolment in the grade
schools, according to figures compiled
hy Mr.. Sifert, is 800 boys and .l53 girls.
The high school shows IN enrolment
of 14O boys and 212 girls. The sudden
decrease Of boys enrolment is shown
III the freshman class where 4G boys
and 30 girls are enrolled. despite the
fact that the grade school boys out
number the girls.
Mr.. Sifert said today that the total
enrolment. 1874 students. is about the
same as last year, although figures on
last years total are not available. High
school attendance is smaller than last
year owing chiefly to the graduation of
last years record senior class. The
1921 graduating class numbered near 80
at the beginning Of the year while this
years seniors number only 90.
The increase in tuition. Mr.. Sifert
says. has had no material effect on high
school enrolment. us about 9J per cent
OF the tuition students come from dis
tricts where the tuition is paid for
IL en-. The freshmen class. he says, is
approximately the same as last year.
