Original article re girls/sports/college graduation

For those who want to go through the statistics and proofs, the article upon which the New York Times based its article concluding that girls who play interscholastic sports in high school are 41% more apt to graduate from college than their peers, can be found here.

Causing further grief to many associated with churches who would prefer less vigorous physical exertion, both fine arts and other extra-curricular activities were specifically examined by the authors and found to be less effective (in the case of fine arts) or actually counter-productive (in the case of other extra-curriculars).

DEFINITELY something to think about!
