Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rise of the High School in Massachusetts: Teachers College, Columbia University Contributions to Educations, No; 45 The development of the high school in the United States has before this been treated by numerous writers on education. For the most part, however, the subject has been treated by these writers in a general way in connection with other educational institutions, or in connection with certain prominent schools. While these individual institutions may be considered as the pioneers in the field, a study of them alone cannot give a comprehensive view of the work of the high school as a whole, nor can the real scope of public secondary education be estimated and understood from a consideration of a few individual institutions. Thus the study of such a school as the English Classical (High) School of Boston gives us very valuable data, but if we attempt to generalize on the development of the high school in Massachusetts from the schools of Boston alone we should get an altogether misleading conception of the work of the high school in that state. Likewise a study of such institutions as the Central High School of Philadelphia or that of Baltimore is undoubtedly of great value, but the history of those two institutions shows clearly that they cannot be considered as representative of the high school in general. No complete examination of any large group of high schools for the early period has ever been made. Even the number of high schools established in the various parts of the country during the early period has been a matter of dispute. Thus Dr. Harris, the late Commissioner of Education, who probably devoted as much attention to this subject as any other up to that time, stated in 1901: "The number of high schools in the United States in 1860 was about forty." On this topic Dr. Elmer E. Brown has this to say: "How many schools of this class were in existence previous to the Civil War, it would be hard to say.
