The hectic time of registration and the first confused days of class organ-ization have resolved into system-atic routine. New teachers are get-ting acquainted with new students and old friendships are being re-affirmed. For most students, high school days are days of work and fun, climaxed with the satisfaction of achievement, of goals attained. For most, but not for all. Some find their school days, days o'f' con-fusion and futility. They sense that the goals some others reach are not 'for them. They find them-selves unable to master some re-quired subjects, and they feel like misfits 'in the social scheme. They are left out, lost. Many of them give up and quit. Whatever the future may hold for them, they'd rather face it directly than endure the discouragement they meet in school. Over the years nearly a third - - 31.7 - - of all DHS registrants have fallen by the way side. Through the many years of his experience as principal of the Del-ta high school, Glen W. Seegmiller observed the students who quit school, and he decided to make a'n exhaustive study of their problems, to determine what could be done to help others like them continue their education. The result o'f his inquiry is a thesis written in par-tial fulfillment of the requirements for his degree as Master of Science in Education, done at the BYU in 1949. Mr. Secmillor estimates the work of preparing the thesis was equal to a year of college study. The book recording his findings com-prises 108 pages. Six bound copies have been made. The cost of typ-ing alone was $300. The survey was well planned and executed and the thesis shows the result of extensive academic as well as field research. Mr. Seegmiller spent the whole six weeks of a summer vacation interviewing 232 of the 851 stud-ents who quit school before gradu-ating during the first 25 years of the DHS, from 1923 until 1948. He recorded their responses to a pre-pared set o'f questions bearing on the problem. He then examined school records of these people for data on sex, age, school attend-ance, intelligence quotients, and other factos. The resulting infor-mation provided the statistical bas is for the study. The facts disclos-ed and the conclusions drawn from them are supported by interesting graphs and charts. The work is a valuable contribution toward the solution of a problem which has long plagued both educators and students. What are the reasons students quit school, and what can be done to help them continue on to grad-ation? Some of the questions rais-ed by Mr. Seegmiller, and the answers, follow: Does the individual teacher play an important part in keeping stu-dents in school? Yes. Students are inclined to quit school if they dis-like their teachers. Understanding personality is one of the qualities most liked in a teacher, while un-pleasant personality and poor tea-ching are given as reasons for dis-like. Obviously, there is need for applied psychology and tact on the part of the teachers. Is distance travelled to school an important factor? No. The per-centage of drop-out- s 'from those liv ing near the school is nearly the same as for those living miles aw-ay. What is the significance of the student's IQ? This is of rather lim-- . ited significance. About 50 of drop-ou- ts are incapable of master-ing some academic courses, while the other 50 are capable of doing so. What of the attitude of the parents, Surprisingly, the attitude of parents does not have too much influence. Apparently the student's adjustment to school environment is more important than parent's attitude. Of which sex are those who quit most numerous? They are about evenly divided. During which school grades do most students quit? The 10th and 11th. What of attendance records? Drop-out- s have poor attendance records. In this connection, the cause of poor attendance may be the underlying source of Do required academic courses force students out of school? Yes. The more difficult academic cou-rses are the most disliked. Best lik ed are classes involving use of the hands. There is much difference of opinion between boys and girls regarding certain courses. Boys gen eralty like shop, mathematics, and agriculture. Their pet hate is Eng-lish. Girls like home economics, English, and phys. ed. but dislike mathematics. Is student participation in sch-ool activities important? Yes. A majority of drop-ou- ts do not par-ticipate in any extra-curricul- act ivities at all. Of those who do, football and track are most pop-ular with the boys, while basket-ball and chorus are popular with the girls. It should be remembered that the preferences indicated for stud-ies and activities are those of the students who quit school. Possibly preferences of graduates would show different results, if tabulated Do the attitude and suggestions of students who quit offer any significant solutions? Yes. Those interviewed preponderantly favor encouragement of mass participat-ion in activities, more scholastic encouragement by teachers, more vocational classes, and more flex-ible requirements for graduation. Mr. Seegmiller's own suggestions for improving the sitation include training for teachers, of a functional guid-ance program, classes in family relationships, effort to make "dull" classes interesting, and, in accord with the first suggestion of the drop-out- s, themselves, steps to in-duce all students to participate in activities. One of the most thought provok-ing items in the survey is found in the attitude now taken toward the matter by those who quit sch-ool. All o'f the 232" people inter-viewed were asked what advice they would give present students confronted with the same problem. Should they make the effort to finish school? Since every one of these people quit before graduat-ion, the fact that 97.8 of them replied, "Yes, finish school," is of deep significance. Only 2.2 re-plied that it wouldn't matter much and not a single one answered with an unqualified no.
