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.
