E. B. COUCH, Resistrar The high schools of today are the product of trial and error for the past three hundred years. Free experimentation with survivals of the chosen practices, courses, and pro- cedures has given us the modern secondary school with its multiplicity of courses, its thousands of highly trained teachers, and millions of students. Today ' s tendencies are toward practical courses for economic ability and cultural background for added leisure. Both tendencies imply need for more efficient social-economic adjustments and for better social cooperation, for more knowledge and flexibility. If the high schools of today are to survive the critical attitude that now exists, it will be through the leadership of progressive thinkers who are the products of the high school. Conservative attitudes, inflexibility of courses, aca- demic despotism, and school teacherized procedures are bound to hinder the future devolpment of this great Ameri- can institution. If, in our high schools, we are to aid in the reduction of crime, the solution of economic problems, the raising of our social standards and the standards of living, it will be necessary to continue open experimentation in the light of the past; and forgetting the past as a hampering influence, move on to new and better procedures as rapidly as they prove to be real advances in educational results. E. B. Couch, Registrar 1 5 ADMINISTRATION 1935
