It embodies both the spirit of the rugged pioneer of an- other day and the forward looking modernist of today. For fortyfone years, since 1894, Manual Training High School has witnessed thousands upon thousands of graduates go out into the world to cast their footprints on the eternal sands of time. In April, 1894, Manual Training High School was opened to the students of Denver under the organization and supervision of Charles Allen Bradley, whose untiring progressive efforts were responsible for the bringing of such an institution to Denver. The first personnel consisted of twelve teachers and about forty pupils from the various parts of the city. Along with the cus- tomary studies of history, mathematics, languages, and sciences necessary for college preparation, new courses were offered which proved something revolutionary in the annals of education. The purpose of these new courses was to make use of that old proverb, Experience is the best teacher. Manual became the eighth vocational high school in the United States and the first west of St. Louis, at the time of organization. It helped set the precedent for the organization of many similar institutions throughout the country in later years. Time and Manual Training High School marches on to 1935 when we find the school a modern metropolitan institution of edu' cation containing over a thousand students and a faculty and adminf istration of forty members cooperating to present an exceptional educational program. The modern evolution of Charles Bradley's idea of progressive education is displayed when at any time during a school session one may witness one thousand pupils engaged in everything from auto mechanics to English literature.

HILL fPrinripaU MANUAL KEEPS ABREAST OF CHANGE MANUAL was founded upon the idea that there are many sides to a complete education rather than just an academic one. Its first principal, Mr. C, A. Bradley, was an ardent advocate of a broader type of education. Manual's new ideas were gradually absorbed by the other high schools until all were offering similar work. In recent years, further changes have been introduced. Classroom libraries have supplanted the one text book. Classes in social and economic problems are now offered. New courses in commerce stress the practical and social values of business. Homemaking is even more valuable than foods and clothing. Education for the protection of the consumer is stressed in many courses. All sides of controversial questions may now be presented fairly. Four Progressive Education classes are cooperating in a national experiment. All courses have been changed to make them of greater value to the pupils. The faculty has adopted a plan of extensive reading of materials that deal with the problems and culture of the present day. Faculty meetings are usually discussions of new ideas. The building, within its limitations, has been adapted to the new program. These changes have decreased costs greatly. This policy of keeping up with the times has meant much for Manual, Most of the boys and girls of the community enter high school. are interested, enjoy the variety of work and methods, and stay until they gradu' atefin fact, quite a few stay longer.
