. -M.. The High School This year we celebrate the three hundredth anniversary of secondary education in America. On April 13, 1635, the freemen of Boston, Massachusetts, passed this I order: Likewise, it was then generally agreed upon that our brother Philemon Pormont shall be entreated to become schoolmaster for the teaching and nurturing of the children with us. The school thus set up has maintained a continuous existence up to the present, and has long been known as the Boston Public Latin School. This was the first sccomlrtry school in America. Following this period of the Latin Grammar Schools, came the academies, characteristic of which was Franklin's Academy founded in Philadelphia in 1751. Here the trend was toward a more practical curriculum, for in addition to the Latin, the new Academy included the English School and the Mathematical School. In 1821, a new high school for boys, known as the English High School, was organized in Boston for the benefit of those not intending to go to college. This is usually regarded as the first public school in Amcricrt. The first high school in Bluffton was established in 1877. During all of these three hundred years from the founding of the Boston Latin School to the present Bluffton-Richland Six Year High School, secondary education has undergone constant change and adaptation to meet the growing needs of our democracy. As we this year celebrate this tercentenary of secondary education in America, yet us remember that we are the heirs of all the ages , and that because of the free public high school in our midst, we who are in any way connected with I it as an institution have a chanllenge to meet,--the challenge to make the best of , what the community has so freely afforded us,-the challenge to Enter To Lcarvz - Go Forth To S'cr'vc.
