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.

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.

Only two rooms were used for the seventy-five boys and two teachers. No strictly high school work was offered, although the mechanical drawing and woodwork courses were equal to high subjects, and credit was given for these subjects to boys entering high school. Soon the school was enlarged to accomodate the five hundred boys enrolled. A new name was sought, and because the school placed a great empha- sis on mannal training, it was named for C. M. Woodward, the first advo- cate of manual training. At first the school was known as Woodward Junior High, but later, when a full four-year course was added, the word Techni- Ekikii A Tercentenary ' of J High Schools MEZEZW MQ? QE i cal was substituted for Junior In September, 1919, commercial students were transferred from Scott to Woodward, and from that time Woodward offered all courses. Part-time classes were in- augurated and a machine shop was equipped by the aid of Toledo business men. The year 1922 marked the beginning of unit trade courses which are not included in the curricula of any other high school. In 1927, with the development of the North End of Toledo, another high school was needed for the district so the present Woodward High School was built, the biggest and best equipped of the four. Still young, our school is endeavoring to establish records in scholarship and athletics to equal the reputations of the older schools of the city. The aim of Woodward has coincided with the aim of the first high school: That those early -6 9 . s I 4 J w Vernon Keil General cflf' I.
