GLASGOW JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL The Glasgow junior high school was organized to relieve the crowded conditions in the seventh and eighth grades of the South Side school and to give to the pupils in these grades a program of studies much richer in content than had ever been offered them before. During 1928-29 courses in general shop for boys, home economics for girls, and also physical education were offered, and the junior high pupils were given the advantage of instruction by special teachers from the senior high school, also allowed to use the same laboratories, shops and gymnasiuins as the senior high school pupils. During 1929-30 grades seven, eight and nine will be organized as a sep- arate unit and plans are nov being made to eliminate some of the needless repetition of material formerly given in the elementary grades and to so revise the course that the transition from the junior to senior high school may be made ' more gradual. Locating these pupils in the new building gives an opportunity for a new social program aimed to develop leadership. Eventually it is hoped to develop a guidance program which ■will help students to select their vocation and guide them in the subjects they should pursue in order to be successful in that vocation. As Glasgow serves a large rural area, it is hoped that pupils now enrolled in these one-room schools will avail themselves of the many opportunities offered in a real junior high school. -63
