MORE BOYS In THE FIRST
SIX GRADES OF SCHOOLS
But Girls Predominant from Sew
enth Through the Secondary
Classes, Superintendent Says

More boys than girls are in the first
six grades of schools in Maryland, but
from the seventh grade through the
fourth year in high schools girls pre-
dominate in every class, Albert 5.
Cook, State Superintendent, said re-
Gently. Boys, Mr.. Cook explained,
leave school in large numbers as they
reach higher grades. Mr.. Cook based
his statement on a recent survey by
the State Department of Education.
SIN Maryland counties, as in the
rest of the country, the first grade has
a much larger enrolment than any
other grade-18,O7O boys and girls"
Mr.. Cook said. approximately A.
700 pupils are enrolled in the second
grade, 14,300 in the third and $4,000
in the fourth. Thereafter there is
decrease in each succeeding grade. In
the fourth year of high school total
of 3,067 students are enrolled.
Increases in Year Noted.
"There is an increase in enrolment,
however, over that found in the pre-
ceding year in every grade, except in
the third and fifth among boys, and
in the third through the sixth among
girls. The increases are due to the
gain in school population and the
greater holding power of the seventh
and high school grades"
Mr.. Cook said that there has been
a steady increase in the number OF
white elementary school graduates
since 1928.
In 1927 there were 1920 boys and
5.O59 girls who graduated from ele-
mentary schools. The total was TOO
more than in 1926. The number of
boy graduates increased by one-third
from 1928 to 1927, while the girl
graduates increased slightly more
than one-ffth, Mr.. Cook said.
Counties Leading in Graduates
The proportion of the white gradu-
ates in the total elementary school
enrolment, exclusive of kindergar-
tens, is the highest in Talbot, Gar
rett, Kent, Montgomery, Baltimore
and Prince Georges counties. The
three counties at the bottom of the
list-Allegany, Washington and Anne
Arundel-rank in that order because
they have eight grades in the elemen-
tary course, while the elementary
schools in the other counties have
only seven, Mr.. Cook explained.
Mr.. Cook added that the distribu-
,..ssa-of white elementary school grad
yates in the one-teacher, two-teacher
and graded schools indicates a de-
crease from 1926 to 1927 in number
and proportion of graduates from one
teacher schools. The distribution
means an increase for two-teacher and
graded schools, he explained.
