BARRS HIGH SCHOOL Are there more pupils in Barre High School? Why? The enrollment has increased from 152 in 1923 to 255 in 1938. That is an increase of over one hundred pupils in ton years. There are a number of reasons for this increase: in the first place there are more people- of high school age. Also, the curriculum has been changing constantly so that the courses are more interesting and suitable for preparing the pupil for a more varied course in his future life. But — still more im- portant factor is the fact that there is nothing to do, nothing to interest young people; so they go to high school after graduating from the grammar grades. Parents, who Luke an interest in their children, want to give their offspring a. good education, because they know that it is essential for the children to be able to find good jobs in later life whun they have to support themselves. In the tables below you may compare the enrollments of now and ten years ago and also soe how the trend has changed as to courses. In 1928 thirty four out of the fifty fresh- men that enrolled applied for the college course while only six preferred commercial work. Due to changing conditions tho tables wore just reversed in 1938. Forty nine per cent of the freshmen class took up commercial studies and only twenty five per cent took up college work . In ten years the enrollment has increased by one hundred and three. 1923 College General Commercial Enrollment Freshman 34 11 6, 51 Sophomore 14 10 19 43 Junior 7 10 4 21 Senior 7 9 5 21 College 1938 General Commercial Enrollment Freshman 22 43 23. 88 Sophomore 14 26 21 ' 61 Junior 4 25 31 60 Senior 4 r -L. . 23 37 Since 1928 many new subjects have been added. When it was discovered that mathematics was the foundation of practi- cally all work and study, trigonometry was added to our school curriculum. Before that time advanced math was a half year subject, but now it is a full year course. Three years ago commercial geography and sociology were also introduced. These subjects give the pupils who dislike languages (except English) c chance to learn about relations with other countries and to consider many problems of our home. ' life.
