Ilis sucaessor in the High School was Prof. .Ioln1t'rowley. a graduate oi' the State Normal School. who proved himself a man of sterling worth and competency as an instructor. The School Board decided to change his title from Assist- ant' to Principal of the Iligh School. Since this time thc Superintendent has given more of his attention to the super- vision of the work in the grades. Mr. Urowley served but one year, and was succeeded by Prof. Milo Hale. the Prin- cipal ot' the High School at the present time. Since 1894 the High School has graduated a class each year, with the exception of 1900. at which time the course of study was changed from three to four years. Before this time no Latin had been taught. but now Latin, Chemistry and Solid Geometry were added. and the work in Botany made to cover a full year. During the last two years the Superintendent and Prin- cipal have been assisted in their High School teaching by some of the grade teachers. Those who have rendered such assistance a1'e Mr. Howard Zumbaugh. Mr. t'. H. Barts. Miss Minnie Snell. and Miss Faye Edwards. ln addition to the enriching of the course of study, and the increase ofthe teaching force. the lligh School has been improved. within the last few years. in many other respects. The Library has grown from less than 100 volumes to more than H00 volumes. a Laboratory has been equipped l'or in- vestigations in Chemistry. Botany. and Physics. a hot-water heating system has been installed. and electric lights have been placed in the Laboratory, Ottice. and Assembly Boom. 111 March of 1001, and again in January of 1902. the school was inspected by a member of the State Board of Education, and each time a High School t'ommission was granted. which entitles the graduates of the Bremen High School to enter Indiana University. Purdue University. and the State Normal School, besides several church universities and col- leges. without an examination in the studies taught here. These improvements have been made possible by the lib- eral and progressive spirit of the School Board. by the wil- lingness of the students to devote more time a11d energy to their own self-improvement. as well as by the zeal and per- severance of the teachers.

One quite common idea is that it is a preparatory school for those who wish to enter some college or university. The founders of our High School system had no such idea, and but few of our High School graduates ever enter higher institutions. It has also been found that less than 0116 per cent. of all the students of our land are found in colleges and universities. lt is true that our High School does 1-mi prepare those who wish to enter our higher institutions, and in fact a good High School course or its equivalent in some academy is necessary before we can enter upon a college course. The High School and college are very closely related, but the High School course should not be arranged to suit any special college course. However, the course that best suits the High School student as a finishing course will be a good preparatory course for a college. Another idea that is quite prevalent is, that the High School exists for the purpose of preparing boys and girls for some special trade or occupation. Possibly the greatest cry of school critics in recent years is for the practical education. The demand to eliminate those subjects that do not directly aid the pupil in earning a livelihood, continues. The business man asks, with justice, not especially what course have you taken, but 'twhat can you do? At this point we might easily be led to think that herein lies the great value of a High School education, but we have not yet reached the important point. We must confess that it does prepare us to do better those
