BOYS GAINING ON GIRLS
IN SCHOOLS OF COUNTIES
Report of State Board of Educa-
tiOn Shows Greater Percentage
of GraduatiOns

Boys are gaining numerically on
the girls in Maryland's county high
school graduating classes, according
to figures released by the State Board
of Education.
They show that during the last ten
years boy graduates have increased
316 per cent, while the number of
girls graduating annually gained 200
per cent. They also show that, where
as there we're 81 girls for every boy
in the 1919 graduating classes, ten
years later this ration had dropped to
LIS girls for every boy.
In Prince Georges county last year
girl graduates were outnumbered by
the boys.
Four hundred and two more di-
plomas were handed out to county
white school graduates in 1929 than
in 1928, the report states, pointing
out that this is the largest increase
scored in ten years. Boy graduates
showed a gain of IS per cent, girl
graduates one of 10 per cent.
The increase for boys, both for the
ten-year period and for the last year,
the State Board finds Encouraging"
1t presents figures to show that grad
uating classes have increased steadily
from a total of 1,004 students in 1919
to 1896 last year. In 1919 diplomas
were awarded to 1923 boys and 6S1
girls. Last June 1,348 boys and 2,047
girls completed four-year courses.
All counties contributed to the in
crease last year except Talbot, Wor-
cester and Washington, which showed
decreases, and Queen Anne's and Car
roll, where no change was shown, the
report points out. Calvert, issuing
twenty-four diplomas, had the small
est class, Allegany the largest with
4O4.
Only forty-fve per cent. of the stu
dents who entered the county white
high schools as freshmen in Septem-
Der, 1925, remained to receive diplom-
as four years later, the report shows.
A little more than half the girls per-
sisted, but only 1872 per cent. of the
boys. High school matriculates are
far more persistent in Charles county
than in any other, seventy-nine per
cent. of the entering classes remain
ing for the full four years. In Prince
Georges, Garrett and Wicomico only
a little more than thirty-seven per
cent. stick it out.
Persistence through high school to
graduation in the various counties, is
shown by the following compilation
of percentages by the State Board of
E,dToa tiOn.

An Interesting Fact.

In our day when there is great
outcry concerning the constantly in
creasing number of criminal cases
clogging the dockets of both the State
and Federal Courts, when extremists
are urging more severe penalties and
others urging the abolition of the
death penalty, it is interesting to
glance back over our history and note
some of the penalties inflicted by our
forefathers in Maryland.
For instance, in 1880, in Frederick
county, plan was Matched to release
British prisoners held in that county
and in Virginia. Seven Tories, lead
ers in the enterprise, were arrested,
tried and found guilty, and the SEN
tence of Judge Alexander Hanson was
"that they be hanged, cut down while
alive, drawn and CHARTERED, and the
four quarters of each body exposed to
public view"
Prior to that, in 1868, the Assembly
by an Act provided for the construc-
ton of a temporary prison at ST..
Mary's, with pillory stocks and duck
ing stool and each county of the state,
at the same time, was required to pro-
vide branding irons for the burning
of malefactors, especially the burning
of the letter "H" on the shoulder of
any person convicted of the second
offense of stealing his neighbours
hogs.
Drunkenness, which was defined as
drinking with excess to notable
perturbation of any organ of sense
or motion" was made punishable by
fines or whippings. The fine was set
at thirty pounds of tobacco; or five
shillings.
"Servile labor upon the Lords Day"
was absolutely prohibited, as was al
so "eating flesh in time of Lent or on
other days wednesdays excepted)

shows, scores again for masculinity,
it being the only county where boys
are more persistent in their pursuits
of diploma than are girls. Only
Washington and Garrett counties had
a lower persistence record for both
boys and girls last year than the year
before.
Cecil, Frederick, Queen Anne's, Cal
vert and st. Mary's had lower per-
sistence for boys in 1929 than in 1928;
Allegany, Worcester, Talbot, Balti-
more, Prince Georges, Somerset and
Wicomico had relatively fewer girls
staying on to graduate than the year
previous.
