College-bound majority. According to figures released by the U. S. Office of Education, the majority of high school graduates now enter college. There were 1,318,700 graduates of public and private secondary schools in the continental United States in 1956 and 714,966 first-time college freshmen. The percentage is 54.2. (A revised system of classification by the Office of Education reveals that the corresponding figures for 1955 were 1,281,400 graduates and 668,064 first-time freshmen, for a percentage of 52.1. In 1954 it was 49.8%, and in 1952, 44.7%; skipping back before the war, in 1940 it was 34.1%.) It seems clear that high school administrators must recognize that an increasing majority of their students do not terminate education in the high school—that college preparation is now a major concern of secondary education. Take FL preparation. About 60% of the first-time students in 1956 were in liberal arts colleges and in universities, many seeking the B.A. degree. Of the 830 accredited institutions in the U. S. offering the B.A. degree, 254 (30.6%) require FL study for entrance and 694 (83.6%) require FL study for the degree. Spread the word.
