Washington, April 28 (JP)
The census bureau, in the first
complete inventory of the edu
cational status of , the entire
population today announced
that the three Pacific coast
states had the highest median
number of school years com
pleted of any of the geographic
divisions of the nation. It was
based on persons 25 or older.
The three states had a medi
an of 9.7 years, meaning that
one half their population 25
years old or older had more
than that number of years of
schooling and half had less. The
national median was 8.4 years.
The District of Columbia had
the highest median (10.3) close
ly pressed by Utah's 10.2. Low
est was Louisiana's 6.6 years.
California led the coast with
9.9; Washington, Oregon each
had 9.1 years.
College Average High
The three west coast states
also had the lowest proportion
of persons who had completed
less than five years of school
ing (6.4 per cent) and the high
est proportion of college grad
uates of any geographic division
of the country.
Reciting that Utahs popula
tion is 92.8 per cent native
white and that most other inter-
mountain states (New Mexico
excepted) also ranked high, the
bureau said the race nativity
composition of the west is un
doubtedly an important factor
in the high educational devel
opment of its population. Native
whites comprised 85.9 per cent
of the total population there, as
compared with 83.9 per cent for
the north and 74.5 per cent for
the south."

per cent of the population 25
or older In the west had com
pleted less than five years'
schooling, top 10.1 per cent in
the north, and 22.9 per cent in
the south.

survey, 28,404 had 1 to 4 years
schooling; 42,418 had complet
ed the 5th and 6th grades; 252,
466 had completed the 8 grades;
116,758 stopped after two years
