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.

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.
IT IS
