Barbara was 28, but she had never

was hopelessly old fashioned. She
agreed with Stephen that the master.

she was satisfied that it should be a
slow, symmetrical growth.

had a soft radiance that made it al

been seeing her for years without
knowing whether she was dark or

STATE SCHOOLS BEST AGAIN

Washington public schools rank
first in the United States in holding
power, or success in retaining the
scholastic interest Of its children until
they have finished high school work
Under a system perfected by Frank
nj. Phillips, chief of the division of
statistics in the U. S. Bureau of Ed
ucation, Washington public schools
have also been given first place in
the excellence of its teaching corps,
the attendance offpupils and support
given to education.
Holding power is rated by Ernest
S. Witham, noted Wilmington, Del.
educational research director, as of
tar more Importance than any other
school factor. In an analysis of pub
lie school conditions printed approx
ingly by the American School Board
Journal and American Educational
Digest he points out that vast expend-
itures and the employment of high
grade teaching corps fall short of
their purpose unless the children re-
main in attendance to take advant-
age of their opportunities.
Inc Wltham StatiStlcS are DaSec
on returns for the school year of 1928
"a which give Washington rating
of e2.2 per cent with Oregon Sec
ond at 81 per cent; Maine third with
o1.2 per cent and South Carolina,
which has an Upgrade system, last
with but 69.l per Gene.
That Washington's first rank was
not due to lucky choice of schoo
years made for comparative purposes
is shown by state returns fer lo25-26
which give holding power OF e3.7
per cent and for 1867 which in
creases the rating to o4.57 per cent.
In figures available to MIR. Withar
1888 per cent Of Wash'ngton's
school Children were in the thres
highesS grades or senior high school
last year the percentage had risen t.
1920. In the meantime the percentage
in the junior high school or seventh,
eight and ninth grades had increased
from 24.s3 per cent. demonstrating
the holding power of Washington
schools is growing stronger.
