THE REGISTRY WOULD CONTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING SCHOOL DROPOUTS. BECAUSE IT WOULD PROVIDE A CENTRAL COLLECTION POINT OF DROPOUT INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, RESEARCH, GUIDANCE AND PLACEMENT OF THESE INDIVIDUALS WOULD BE GREATLY SIMPLIFIED. THE FIRST BASIC FORM PRESENTED CONTAINS ONLY THE NAME, ADDRESS, AGE, LOCATION OF RECORDS AND REASON FOR LEAVING SCHOOL. A SECOND FORM WHICH COULD BE USED IS MORE DETAILED BUT OFFERS THE RESEARCHER AND PLACEMENT DIRECTOR MORE COMPREHENSIVE DATA BECAUSE IT INCLUDES INFORMATION ON STUDENT AND FAMILY BACKGROUNDS IN ADDITION TO BASIC INFORMATION.
