Text Appearing Before Image:
Pupils electing the commercial course are of inferior intellectual pow-er. Doubtful if pupils are of as good mental ability as those of othercourses. Less serious and sturdy character. Students in commer-cial course inferior in ethical standing, inferior intellectually and so-cially. They are not so good mentally. Alany choose the commer-cial course because they think it is easy and because they had troublein getting through the grammar school. Character slightly below.Conditions seem to be better in the two special high schools for boys,and in one general high school for girls. In this last school the prin-cipal reports that commercial girls are brighter and more intelligentthan academic girls. Persistence of Pupils The persistence in membership of commercial pupils seems to bemarkedly lower than the average. The average loss of membership forthe City for the past five-year period is 31 per cent, annually. The HighSchool of Commerce in the last seven years has lost an average of 36.7
Text Appearing After Image:
COMMERCIAL COURSES IN HIGH SCHOOLS 21 per cent.; the Commercial High School of Brooklyn, 41 per cent, forthe years 1909-1910. Every school reports a larger percentage of lossof commercial pupils than the city average or the school average. TheWashington Irving High School reports the highest percentage of mem-bership, where 46 per cent, of commercial girls persisted until the thirdyear, against 47 per cent, of girls pursuing academic work. One apparent reason for greater loss of membership is the charac-ter of the pupils mentioned in the foregoing paragraphs. Principalsassign various other reasons: Attractive openings come to them longbefore the course is completed; so long as business men are content toemploy young people only partly prepared, so long will the schools havedifficulty in holding their pupils to the end of the course. Many electcommercial courses who do not expect to remain long. Pupils whocannot stay in school long take the commercial course. A noticeablefeature is thereportofcommitt02newy
