Your Opinion About the High School Drop-Ou- ts . . . According to the Utah Foundation, More than one out of every four students who enter Utahs high schools fail to graduate. Foundation analyists point out that public high schools in Utah graduated 8,384 students last yeaf:It also stated that 3,000 Utah students who had been enrolled in the tenth grade three years earlier did not graduate in 1954. Studies to find out why this is so Are being conducted "and eventually this information will be available. One contributing factor I think is lack of understandto drop-out- s ing and sympathy on the parts of the principal. A principal whose chief concern is to somehow ride through to retirement ; or who is too incompetent to run a school properly; .or who is too absent minded to coherently lead; or who is running scared in an administrative setup is in no position to give guidance to children who need adjustment.
