Farm youth lag behind urban teens in education plans
A Census Bureau study released with the Agricultural Marketing Service finds that about one third of farm youth aged 16 to 24 have definite plans to attend college in 1960, versus about half of city youth. The October 1959 survey also shows higher noncompletion and lower college attendance among farm youth.
