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.

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.

This St. Louis Manual Train- ing School was not to prepare students for certain trades, yet it was to teach the essential mechanics of all trades. The idea spread under the inspiration of Mr. Woodward's word, and so when Toledo built its second high school it was named the Scott Manual Training School, although it was not conducted on rigorous mechanical lines. Toledo established its first high school in 1853, and in 1857 the Toledo High School was opened in the building. A principal and two assistants composed the teaching staff and they taught about seventy-five students. In 1884 the old university building was opened as the Scott Manual Training School, the fourth vocational school in the country, and the first public school to introduce a Domestic Science course. On March 10, 1895, the building was destroyed by fire, and the new school opened in 1898 was much larger than the old. It contained sixty-one rooms and an auditorium larger than the whole former building. Until 1913, this building was Toledo's only high school except the East Side Central which gave the first two years high school work. ln 1913 some of the pupils were transferred to Scott, and the next year the remaining pupils went to Waite. ln January, 1912, a school was started, known as the Elementary Industrial School, the beginning 523233 Tercentenary of 3 High Schools MQ MEXEZW Mkikiw QEZEKH ., Victor Huber Marjorie Herzberg Ralph Isenstein Virginia Hilton Leo J ankowski Cecelia Hudzinski Art General General General General Home Economics Glee Club 4 Zetalethean Soc. 2, 3, 4 Peiuper Club 3, 4 Class V.
