It is evident that the high school has come to be an immensely significant factor in our American life, raising our standard of living, giving currency to higher ideals, increasing the range of all occupations, callingfor the intermediate and higher grades of intelligence, and forcing the wider differentiation of our curriculums by the very immensity and variety of the demands for instructions which must be satisfied. DR. G. STANLEY HALL, President of Clark University. By the close association of studies that minister chiefly to vocational and social aims, with courses of study that minister chiefly to culture aims, as such, the high school should provide the most favorable condition for the vocational and social development of the pupil, and for the general cultivation of his mind and heart; we would thus endeavor to reach his whole nature, and to render him serviceable, in the best sense, at the same time to himself and society. Through courses for the simultaneous pursuit of vocational, social and culture aims, the high school may become, as it should, a guiding, unifying force in American life. I o bring to bear on the rising generation the influence of this force is the function which the modern high school should aim to fulfill. DR. PAUL H. HANUS. Harvard University.
