Go-to-School Drive Urged by National Agencies
Community groups in Troy and upstate New York were urged to join a Go-to-School drive backed by the Office of Education and the Children’s Bureau to combat a decline in high school enrollment. Four agencies including the Federal Security Agency and War Manpower Commission promote the effort amid rising numbers of high school age youths in work. A 1953-54 drop in enrollment paralleled early wartime worker trends, with agencies citing losses in subsequent years and urging local drives to enroll and retain students. A community night at the 212th Street playground featured entertainers and a boxing match by local youths.
