Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lower High School After two years successful experience it may now safely be said that the "Berkeley plan" has passed beyond the experimental stage. While there has not yet been time to determine the full value of the system, the results already obtained are sufficient to give permanence to the present organization, and another year will find it in full operation. The natural division of the school work into three groups or cycles, each of a distinctive character, has already had the effect of holding the children in school for a longer period of time than maintained under the old plan. According to Ayers, 60 pupils out of every 100 leave school between the close of the fifth grade and the beginning of the ninth grade. Of the remaining 40 who enter high school, only 19 reach the second year,- a loss of over 50% between the first and second high school years; and just 10 complete the entire course. In California 2.6 on the average enter normal schools, universities or schools of a grade beyond the high school, and 1.3 graduate. A careful record has been kept of the pupils enrolled in the ninth grade during the year 1910-11. Out of 453 who should normally be found in the tenth grade this year, 118 are missing. Of this number 20 are repeating a part of the ninth grade work; 22 have entered schools in other places; 17 have quit and gone to work; 3 are out on account of sickness; 17 have entered business schools, convents or private schools; and 39 have left without giving any information as to their future intentions. The pupils repeating work and those who have entered other schools, cannot properly be charged against the local system. But the others, aggregating 76 or 16.7% of the total number enrolled, represent an actual loss for which the system is responsible. There is no data available for comparison with previous years; and while it is quite probable the loss was less than the average reported by Ayers, yet it is not likely that such a great difference existed as obtains under the present plan.
