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.

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.

The origin of the name high schooll' is not clear. The first school using that name was the New York Monitorial High School, which was adapted from a Scottish institution, the Edinburgh High School. Before the Civil War there was no system of high schools in the United States, and no more than sixty such scattered institutions existed. There were many minor steps in building up the present high school system. The most important of these steps was the extension of the privilege of second- ary education to everyone. This was attempted through several schemes, state payment of tuition, and free transportation. Naturally, many people objected to paying taxes for this purpose. In 1874, after a bitter struggle, Michigan declared that it was legally right to estab- lish schools by taxation of the public. The chief difference between the former secondary schools, and the high school lay in the or- ganization and form of support. There was little change in the curriculum. Public maintenance tended, however, to reduce the number of subjects. Soon the high school system was uniform over the country, subjects being taught mostly for the convenience of those pupils who expected to continue to college. Then another movement was begun to make our secondary schools vocational training institu- tions in order to prepare students for their professions after graduation. ,,.. as .4 q-Q3 I Ray Harman Carolyn Haddad Industrial Arts Pica Club 4 Hi-Y 3, 4 General Girls' Ath.
