Percent of Population living in Urban and Rural Conununities
DIAGRAM E

The majority of boys live in urban communities

Diagi-am E shows that 77.7 percent of the boys live in places of
5,000 or more population. In all of these conununities there is a
superintendent of schools and a well organized public school system.
Another six percent lived in incorporated villages under 5,000. In
most of these communities there is a union high school in charge
of a supei-vising principal. Only 16.3 percent of the boys attended
strictly rural schools. While the solution of the rural school problem
is of tremendous importance it is encouraging to note that in compari-
son with other states such a small percentage of the population of
the State of New York is educated in the rural school. The above
information is based on the 1915 State census.
