N THE year l935. the panorama of American history pictures before us its three centuries of educational development. lt reveals to us the meager school of secondary education in the morning of its formal establishment. 1635. lt further reveals the obstacles overcome in the subsequent upward struggle. Hardly had the early colonists established themselves than they started to pioneer in education. The first step was the founding of the Boston Latin School in l635. to insure learned ministry for the future. This was only the beginning for others soon followed with the sole aim of preparing for higher education. In order to support these secondary schools. the people resorted to grants of land. tuition. bequests. or taxation. About this time. here. as in Europe. the forces of the Rennaissance were responsible for religious. and social changes. This formed the impetus for a new secondary school. the American academy. Although the academy was democratic. it was open only to those who could pay tuition and meet the necessary expenses of living at the school. Out of the need for more universal education. rose the so-called English High School. This marked the appearance of an institution which embodied the principles of state or local control formerly exercised by the Latin Grammar School. and included the enriched curriculum of the academy. And now. in l935. the scene is entirely changed. Gone are the days of the cruel birch rodf Gone is the prejudice against women's rights in state and school functionsf Every boy and girl, regardless of his status. is privileged to develop his talents to the degree of which he is capable. Democracy has accomplished all of thisf Today there are no trails to be blazed to new farm lands: there are no more regions to be explored: there are few homes which require the full time and effort of youth. Youths main duty. today. is to go to school to prepare himself for the adult responsibilities prevalent in a new and changing world. As yet the goal of perfection has not been reached. Educators still dream of their ideal. to produce that sort of education which will bring out the finest and strongest qualities of each student. that he may be of greater worth to himself and to society. The efforts of these educators have been continuous and untiring. Many of their experiments have produced constructive results. Many other such experiments are still in the making. Bur viewing the secondary schools of today and considering the great advances already made. we can rightfully express our deepest satisfaction. -Beulah Behrents. VALEDICTORY
