Great has been the change in the aspect of the class- roomg but it has taken long, slow years and many ambi- tious men to effect the change. The high school curriculum has increased many times from the few subjects that were taught in the colonial s c h o ol t o the many and varied courses offered now. The rod no longer hangs upon the wall. The few, stiffly- couched manu- als have been displaced by straightforward text-books. More impor- tant than exter- n a l c h a n g e s , however, is the change in the attitude of teacher and pu- pil. Today the student feels at liberty to think for him- self, and in return the in- structor respects and encour- ages constructive thinking. Both teacher and pupil alike are open to new thoughts Ns and ideals and feel free to express themselves. In the period preceding 1635 and for many years af- terward, schools were only open to a very few colonial boys. That period and our modern times form a strik- ing contrast. Practically ev- ery boy and girl in the United States today is afforded popular education up to sixteen years. Without doubt three hundred years from now the change will a g a i n b e a s great. That we can contribute to the change as others have i n t h e p a s t, ought to be a serious consid- eration with us. As students we have the power to sug- gest and change, as taxpay- ers, a duty. Our responsibili- ties as students are develop- ing faculties suitable to com- petent citizens of the adult world.
