Why Beys Leave the High School.

While meet girls who enter the high sohuol remain to graduate, four-fifths of the boys taking the country over drop out for various reasons. Some desire to earn money, .others have no encouragement from home. When parents remind children of the cost of their education, many feel like quitting altogether, Few are compelled to stop: the vast majority leave because they become discouraged; things outside of school are more attractive, the boys want to get at things rather than theorize about them. Pupils do not really dislike school work, but they lose interest because they do not understand the work. Such are the main reas m given in an investigation by W F. B ok, «*. Fellow in Clark Uii'W'b, Worcester Mass.
