Rural Youth Has Big Interest in More Education Of the 410 rural young people be tween the ages of 16 and 25 recently surveyed by the extension service in Oregon, 198 were either in school or would soon return to it, while 212 had definitely completed their form al education. Of these 212, only 9.4 per cent had advanced beyond high school. More than half, 58.5 per cent, had com pleted four years of high school, while 19.8 per cent had gone no farther than the elementary grades. Approximately 1 per cent had not completed elementary school. Despite this relatively meager school training, only one in 10 of the out-of-school young people were definitely , planning to return to school, but a third of the remainder desired or hoped to be able to con tinue their formal education. The study made by J. R. Beck, rural service specialist of the OSC extesnion service, and Barnard, Joy of the national extension service, also revealed that just over half of the young people in school at the time the survey was made were def initely planning for education be yond high school. An additional 31 per cent had the desire to continue if circumstances permitted. Only one out of six had no desire er plan for a college course or some other advanced training, such as nursing, business college or normal school. Among those who are out of school young women had had more school ing than the young men, as 77 per cent of the former were high school graduates, compared with 51 per Oregon cent of the latter. Getting additional education was one of the outstanding needs listed by the young people interviewed. While many of them had given up hope of returning to school, an over whelming majority of both those in school and out of school expressed interest in joining with others of similar age in forming organized groups to consider matters of com mon interest.

Citj- Page Three Highway accidents in which more than one person was killed have greatly decreased in Oregon during the first six months of 1938, Secre tary of State Earl Snell declared this week. From January 1 to June 30, 1937, there were 13 such acci dents, taking 35 lives. During the same period this year there have been but three multiple -death acci dents, taking eight lives. This spec tacular decline is attributed by Sec retary Snell to general observance of lower speeds than formerly, since the multiple-death mishaps almost always involve high speeds. Again during the month of June, Oregon motorists recorded reduc tions in traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities, as compared with the same month in 1937, Secretary of State Earl Snell announced this week. Ac cidents dropped 27 per cent, injuries 33 per cent and fatalities three per cent below the totals for June last year, Snell said.
