Show Large Numbers of Students Quit Classes According to a national survey of home town high schools, boys and girls are dropping out of their classes class-es at an increased rate. The study revealed clear danger that the trend may reach proportions comparable com-parable to ihe exodus of students during World War II. Educators in the high schools of the country are being urged to conduct con-duct a "stay-in-school" drive to persuade students to remain until the completion of their courses. Major reasons for school-leaving were said to be increased employment employ-ment opportunities, expectation ol the draft, economical need, lack of interest in academic work, and restlessness, insecurity or social maladjustment. In the case of those awaiting draft summonses, their grades often suffer. |
