2 l 1 l 4 l l Since the time of the hrst East High School, the faculty has steadily grown until there are now twenty- eight on the teaching staff. The burden of the teach- ers is much greater, however, because the enrollment has grown so rapidly. The average class today has 35 pupils.

MR LOGAN HEN WE SAY we are celebrating the three hundredth anniversary of the American High School, We do not mean thatwe have had such high schools as we have today for three hundred years. That period is the time in which our high schools have been developing. Schools comparable to our present high schools have existed less than nfty years. At no previous time in history and in no other country in the world could all boys and girls attend a free public high school and take the variety of courses they can in the United States. Our manner of living has changed much in that three hundred years. lf our schools are to serve each generation adequately, they too, must change. The conditions under which we live have been changing so rapidly for the past fifty years that .the schools have hardly kept pace. The school which you are attending is very different from the school which your parents attended, and the school which your children will attend will be different from this school. Yet the schools of these three generations will be less dif- ferent than the conditions of life under which these three generations will have lived. lf the schools of the future keep pace with life, it will be because you, as citizens of the future, recognize the necessity of a continually developing public high school.
