' American High-School Anniversary R April 23, 1935 was a memorable date in the history of American educa- tion. On that date the Boston Latin School, the first American secondary insti- tution, completed three hundred years of existence. This anniversary is being observed throughout the country on the scale and plane which the American ideal of public, universal and democratic education deserves. The American secondary school has passed through various stages, each well fitted to its period. First was the Latin Grammar School, a purely college preparatory institution for boys and of which the Boston Latin School is the prototype. Next came the Academy of which the first was founded by Benjamin Franklin in Philadelphia in 1751. This institution extended the curriculum to include preparation for all walks of life. It grew rapidly until about 1850, reaching its fullest development in this state and notable examples still survive. Then came the Public High School, the first of which was established in Boston in 1821, and which has been the dominant secondary institution for the past 1 forty-five years. More recently secondary education has been extended down- ward to include the junior high school and upward to the junior college. Fifty years ago scarcely one out of every thirty boys or girls, fourteen to seventeen years of age, was attending a secondary school. The increase in attendance since the beginning of the present century is one of the amazing social phenomena of our time. Today more than one-half of all persons in this country fourteen to seventeen years of age are enrolled in our high schools. This briefly states the situation of the American high school of yesterday and today. We are on the threshold of developments equally remarkable. Tomorrow all our youth will doubtless continue at least to their eighteenth year in schools with curriculums to meet the needs of all, adapted to the abilities of all and adjusted to challenge the interests of all. THE KEY salutes the thousands of American public high schools, the pride of their various communities, in this Tercentenary year.
