Quitters Sorry
-But Too tale
Boys who — quit school before
they should, almost invariably:re
gret'it and would like .to return
after it is too late, according' to a
10-year study by Dr. C. S Ander
son, professor of agricultural edu
cation. •
Dr. Anderson found that only
one-third of -a group of young
farmers who left school before
graduation had expressed a desire
to be farmers.
"Many of. these who had no de
sire to farm might have learned
about other ways to make_ a living
if they had stayed in school
longer," he stated. "Schools should
have followed 'up these boys, to
find out why they quit and to en
courage them to return."
- The principal reasons for leav
ing school were a chance for a job,
failure, disinterest, social malad
justment, inaccessibility of schools,
and home and family influence. Dr.
Anderson urged that more effort
should be made to arouse the in
terest of retarded pupils and those
of lower intelligence, and that
more guidance should be given in
the choice of agreeable work.
"Unless this is done, the new 18 7
year age limit will cause numer
ous disciplinary problems for
teachers," he explained. "For those'
who are already out, evening
classes should be organized which
give the kind of practical agricul
tural courses• these young men'
