effect of the other.
In thirteen Southern states 979, 666 white
children were enrolled in the first grade
of the public schools in 1899. In the
fourth grade that same year the tota-
enrolment was 617,998.
Why should there be in this typical
year 81 ,668 more children in the first
than in. the fourth grade? The answer
is plain! scores of thousands of children
drop out of school after the first or
second or third year of study.
The figures for Negro children are, as
one would expect, more startling. Ths
total Negro enrolment in the first grade
in 1899 was COS, 498; in the fourth grade
PSI 316. The mortality" here was 354,-
1872.
If these total figures are divided be-
tween boys and girls they will show that
the mortality" of school boys is much
greater than that of girls. The fuller
meaning of this fact is clearer when one
recalls that nearly all of the fighting, and
