Supervision was a function performed by the minister and other civil officials and was not considered a professional matter. The duties of the master were never done, however. He not only taught, but for variety acted as clerk of the town, chorister of the church, and official visitor of the sick. He also acted as court messenger, served summons, rang the bell for public worship, dug graves, and performed other occasional services. Methods of teaching were entirely different from the modern ones which are founded upon natural interests, yet in one way the old system excelled, for it allowed pupils to advance at their own pace. The discipline was very severe. The rod was the instrument of encouragement. A good teacher was a good disciplinarian.

This was the academy based less on classical subjects and stressing more practical courses. The expansion of the United States was the cause of the change. Benjamin Franklin established the first academy in 1749. The definite purpose of the academy was to supply practical training as well as classical, and in order to do so the new institution offered a curriculum such as a modern high school offers, without the manual training. In the earlier days girls had had no real education. They were taught reading, writing, and a little arithmetic. The academy changed this attitude and made provisions for the instruction of girls. Institutions were founded exclusively for girls, but they were also taught in the female Q V . . 3 ..,.. - gi' Sherwood Cowdrey Maryellen DuMounte Meyer Davis Francis Echler Edward Darowski Thelma Edwards General General General General Commercial Commercial Quill and Dagger 3, 4 Girls' W Cl. 1, 2, 3, 4 Honor Society 4 Soc.

Lea. 3, 4 Howard Bostator General The purpose of the Latin Grammar School was to prepare boys for college, after which they were to enter the professions, chiefly ministry. Practically the only requirement for admission was the ability to read well. Not entirely removed from the church, the pupils were compelled to attend and report the sermons of the church every Sunday. The school was to all intents and purposes a public institution. In Massachusetts it was estab- lished by the town, directed by the town, and for the boys of the town. The life of the boy attending the school was not an entirely enviable one. In summer he went to school at seven in the morning and in winter at eight, remaining in school until five in the evening except for the noon recess from eleven to one. Most of his time was spent under the direction of the master, who saw to it that he applied himself to Latin. The curriculum was so nearly Latin that the boys were urged to use it in their games. The schools were taught by men. Many of the masters were clergymen who performed the double service of teaching and preaching. As a rule, teaching led to the ministry, and often a young college graduate took up teaching for a few years while waiting for a call to serve as a minister. The doctor of the town sometimes served when no one else was available. There was no special require- ment for people carefully trained in the work of education. The hard work and poor pay made good teachers scarce. So far as the master's official duties were concerned, his time was spent hearing recitations. The work of organization and administration was so simple that it required little of the Edward Brand Industrial Arts Fasces Club 2 Hi-Y 2, 3, 4 Track 2, 3, 4 ies.

The academy is credited with the beginning of the movement for higher educationaof Women in the United States. Some students could live at home and attend the academy, but most could not. Many academies had dormitories and boarding halls, but students frequently were taken into private houses. The school day was shorter than in the former Latin Grammar School. Discipline was less severe than it had been. A system of fineseesso much for talking at meals, so much for defacing a bookefwas the usual method. The academies Were not without their student activities. The most prominent of these activities were student government, rhetorical exercises, debating and literary societies, a school paper, andiathletics. The school wasemanaged by an honor society. The rhetorical exercises and debates were regular exercises in which Written and oral compositions were presented to the public. The literary society was usually independent of the school. It was a community organization designed for both young and old, although it was supported largely by the high school students. Greek letter societies, designed for the same purpose, appeared later as the result of college influence. The emphasis upon the intellectual type of organization was so strong that there were not many athletic clubs although several schools had baseball clubs.
