". c. Blakey of New York Tells
; Students Ignorance of Chill
dren Is Great.

The study of current topics in the
graded schools and high schools is
the most neglected and yet one of the
most important subjects in the school
courses, w. c. Blakey of the New
York Institute of Public Service told
the George Washington University
students yesterday. lnasmuch as the
morrow, Mr.. Blakey insisted, it is
vitally necessary that he know the
people, places. and the problems that
the Government deals with in its acti-
vities.
AS proof of the need of more study
of this subject. Mr.. Blakey gave the
results of a nationw wide test that wa
made recently in seventh and eighth
grades in grammar school and in high
school In the seventh grade 40 per
cent OF the class passed. in the eighth
grade. 80 per cent passed. and in the
high school only 81 per cent passed.
The general average for all the class
eS participating was ~ per cent. In
the neighborhood of Senator Lodges
home, only 1900 out of 1900 pupils
Participating, could tell who he was.
1t was said that the questions
should include topics that would be
or particular interest TO the pupils;
so a second test was made with
questions dealing with sports, NOV
ing pictures and other topics of
1hbCi CSI ~ young persons. Inc
result was difference of only 2 per
cent in the general average of the
classes. Thirty-nine per cent Of high
school children did not know the
winner of the world series; out of
10 did not know who Charles S.
