Eighteen half-year promotions
were made in the elementary

Many doors are closed to nom
graduates of high schools ac-
cording to DR.. A. E. Winship,
editor of the Journal of Educa-

the following observations;

He cannot go to a frst-class
law school.
He cannot go to a frst-class
medical school.
He cannot go to a frst-class
dental school.
He cannot 60 to Naval School

He cannot be admitted to an

He cannot get a frst-class po-
Sition in a newspaper Office.
He cannot get a place that is
open to promotion in a bank.
He cannot get a place that is
open to promotion in any rail-
road Office, in any counting
room, in any business Office.
Over fifty lines of mechanics
are closed to him, according to
a recent federal list. This list
is furnished by the United
States Bureau of Labor. 1t is
prepared for the United States
Employment Service. This is
not prepared in the interest of
