WILL ATTEMPT TO SOLVEjmOBLEM Trustees to Ascertain Why More Pupils Do Not Attend High School.

FINGER JIPS TEST Fails in Case of Suspected Murderer.
( Township trustees of Wayne county will endeavor to find out why more pupils are not going to the high Bchoola, at their January meeting to be held tomorrow afternoon. School Superintendent Williams, lias gathered statistics from the reports of the schools in Wayne township. Wayne county and all other counties Is the state where conditions are similar to those of this county. The seventh grade grammar schools and the Sophomore year at high school are the stumbling blocks, according to Supt. Williams. In Wayne county the following statistics of the passing of the students from one grade to another has been recorded by Supt. Williams and will be submitted to the trustees. "From the sixth to the seventh grades 82 per cent of the students pass, from the seventh to the eighth ninety-four per cent, from the eighth
to high school seventy per cent." In the high schools the percent of students who do not succeed in passing the examinations required or who give up school work after going to fcigh school for one year Is thirty-four per cent. J The reason for the large per cent of those who fall or quit will be worked out by the authorities. One of the trustees declares that many students do not appreciate the value of the high Bchool training or do not receive the encouragement needed from their parents. The same trustee further said that the high Bchool training Is not considered practical by many students who do not wish to follow a profession or become teachers. May Change Course. Supt. Williams believes that the
course of study may have some influence on the way the students feel toward the school. They may consider many subjects required of them as useless or possibly too difficult. They become discouraged and stop attending school. We want as many students as possible to attend the township high schools and if the course of study is the cause for the low average in the second year at high school and the seventh grade grammar schools we will remedy the course to meet conditions." In Wayne township, according to the superintendent in 1907, seventy per cent of students in the common
school graduated; in 1908, the per cent increased and in 1909 the per cent dropped to sixty-three per cent. During 1909 and 1910 the number remained the same. In 1911 and 1912 the per cent increased. In comparing the school reports of Wayne county with other counties the report is more than favorable in every respect other than the sophomore year of high school and the seevnth grades of the grammar schools, f Secretary M. E. Mason, of the trustees organization, was ordered to write to J. A. Allen, of Terre Haute, regarding the proposed plan of distributing the state school funds. The township trustees are unanimously in favor of the plan and the secretary was notified to Inform Mr. Allen that they would use their Influence in every way to hare the bill passed.
