-sr-I CHRONICLE Sala atory Mr. Chairman, Members of the Board of Education, Mr. Superintendent, Mr. Principal, Members of the F aculty, Fellow Classmates, Parents and F riends: On behalf of the class of 1935 I welcome you here this evening to our graduation exercises. We wish to thank you for the educational oppor- tunities which have come our way in Lewis High School. We who are graduating in 1935 appreciate them more deeply when we look back over the history of the secondary school and realize that boys and girls like us have not always had these advan- tages. We find that the year 1935 marks the Tercentenary of the establishment of secondary education in America as well as the Tercentenary of the State of Connecticut. Three hundred years ago the Boston Latin Grammar School was founded in order that the gap between elementary education, and the college and university might be bridged. This Latin Grammar School, like its English prototype, taught literary and religious subjects almost exclusively. Latin was the language of education and learning, in order to become educated in those times one had to have a working knowledge of this language and also some idea of Greek. This stressing of the classical tongues reflects the medieval system of higher education in its emphasis on Latin as the language of learning and on classical literature as the subject matter to be assimilated by would-be learned minds. The Boston Latin Grammar School, although it charged tuition, was not a private school in the strict sense of the word since it was controlled and partially supported by the state. A number of schools similar to the one iust mentioned sprang up in New England. S Page Twenty-two In the Southern colonies the general view of education seemed to be that parents should see to the schooling. of their children and that the education of youth was not the business of the government. However, the well-to-do were willing to contribute charlty to provide for the education of the poor children of the community. Thus it can be noted that in both the New England and Southern educational policies, there was the tendency to promote social caste in that all children did not receive a common education. And so we find that American educa- tion in colonial days did not have the democratic ideals of the high school of today. ' ' In the latter half of the eighteenth century the people in America found that they had definite political ideas which were to be expressed by separ- ating from the mother country and by welding themselves into a new nation. The great ideal of this nation should be that all Americans should have equal advantages in life. We find this de- mocracy reflected in the change in educational policies and ultimately in the educational system itself. A pioneer in this change was that great practical dreamer and inventor, Benjamin Franklin. He saw that secondary education should not be for those alone who intended to enter one of the professions but also for the young people who were to enter prac- tical living. He tried to establish a free school in which his ideas were to be carried out but other people, par- ticularly those who were financially aiding his plans did not hold his views, and Franklin's modern-ideal, secondary school finally turned out to be the UUiVCfSi'fV Of Pennsylvania. Despite the material collapse of Franklin's dream, his ideals live in the mgdgyn
