4.9/5 (31501 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from A Manual for High Schools, Vol. 1 The recent growth of high schools in New Jersey, as well as elsewhere, has been rapid, almost phenomenal. Ten years ago the number of approved high schools in the State was sixty-seven. Now there are one hundred and thirty-six such schools. The number of pupils enrolled in the high schools in 1906 was 14,690. The number this year is upwards of 50,000. At present, one in every fifty-eight persons in the State is a high school pupil. Ten years ago one in every one hundred and fifty persons in the State was a high school pupil. These facts indicate the growing importance of the high school in the educational system of the State. They also point to the necessity of intelligence and effort on the part of State and local authorities to make the high school a more useful institution. To make it more useful, the range of studies or activities should be diversified enough to meet the varying needs of the youth of the State who have completed the work of the elementary grades. These needs are so general that they include social, civic and industrial aims. In a word, the high school should be attractive to an increasing number of boys and girls, and to their parents, because it offers not merely preparation for higher institutions but also preparation for more successful living. The improvement of the high school involves a consideration of teachers, courses of study and organization. It also involves clearness of ideals and resoluteness in attempting to reach those ideals. It is not to be forgotten that whatever is taught in the high school should be so taught as to quicken and stimulate the intellectual life of the pupil.
