FOREWORD HERE are always two kinds of questions in the world. One kind can be answered definitely and without fear of contradiction. The other kind can be answered only according to the personal philosophy of the one who answers it. Can human slavery ever again exist on American soilP,' is a ques- tion to which there can be but one answer. The Civil War settled that question forever. Never again can the institution of slavery exist in America. 4'What is the best system of organization for the public schools of America?U is a question that calls forth a complete chorus of replies. Some advocate the eight-four plan, others, the six-three-three plan, still others, the six-two-four plang some, the seven-three-four plan 3 and still others, the six-four-four plan. The Roosevelt High School has taken its place in the experimenta- tion called for by this educational controversy. At first our school of- fered courses in the upper six grades 3 then, in the upper four grades, and now, in the upper three grades. . In the interest of greater democracy in education, we are now ready for the next forward step in secondary education. On this question there will be much disagreement and no unanimity of opinion, but the handwriting is on the wall. The next great forward step in public education in Minnesota will be the establishment of junior colleges in connection with the large high schools of the state. In a democracy it must be the privilege of all the children in a community to attend the people's college, and that college should provide courses covering two years, work beyond the course now oifered in our secondary schools. Not until this important educational step has been taken can we say that our system of public education in Minnesota is consistent with our ideals of genuine democracy. PHILIP E. CARLSON.
