The age-sex pyramid in New Hampshire in 1950. Figure 4 is based on the 

 total rural farm population. Figure 5 is based on the total urban population. 



Education 



There was a marked increase between 1940 and 1950 in the proportion 

 of the New Hampshire population over 25 years of age which completed 

 nine or more years of schooling. Table 21 shows the relative proportions for 

 the two periods. The proportion having only elementary school training 

 (up to and including grade 8 only) was greater in 1940 than in 1950. 

 The median years of school completed increased between 1940 and 1950 

 for those over the age of 25.
