IfrELIGIOUS training and preparation for college were at first the sole objects of high school education. But by the end of the seventeenth century there was a reali- zation that the true aim of the school was to prepare boys and girls for “the great end and real business of living,” and courses of value to those who were not going to col- lege were introduced. In 1824 the name “high school” was first used. The course of study at that time included such subjects as arithmetic, composition, reading, decla- mation. exercises in criticism, ancient and modern history, algebra, geometry, logic, navigation, surveying, astronomy, and moral political philosophy, The methods of teaching were crude and sometimes amusing as we study them today. One page from “Marmaduke Multiply’s Merry Method of Making Minor Mathema- ticians; or the Multiplication Table” is an example: 7 times 10 arc 70 We’re sailing very pleasantly. 7 times 11 are 77 1 always make my bread with Leaven. 7 times 12 are 84 Oh, happy little tawny Moor. 8 times 8 are 64 A baron bold in days of yore. 8 times 9 are 72 Come here. 1 11 show you where they grew. 8 times 10 are 80 1 think she’s pretty weighty. The accompanying illustration showed the “weighty” lady being carried in a sedan chair by two men with sad faces. Whether or not the scholars of those days appreciated having to memorize verses while learning the multiplication table is an open question.
