"The Saluda Consolidated High School offers over 200 different courses from which its students can choose. A much smaller private school down the street offers a basic curriculum of only 80 different courses, but it consistently sends a higher proportion of its graduating seniors on to college than Consolidated does.

The given argument is trying to interpret the patterns of college education exhibited by the students of the Saluda Consolidated High Schools v/s a Private School. The information available is that the ratio of students pursuing college education to the total number of students in the school is consistently better in the private school than the Consolidated School; and that the number of courses offered by the private school is 80 vis-a-vis 200 in the Consolidated High. The conclusion drawn by the newspaper editor is that the Consolidated High must consider dropping some courses from its curriculum to and focus only on the basic courses in an attempt to increase the students interest in further education.
