Mi* mwufti J t'- J JF1 W -' '' v''"A*ia*What
is a high School?
Paper Issued by the Educa tional
Campaign Committee
of South Carolina.
1. A high school is a school
for boys and girls who have real-j
ly mastered the common school
branches ot study, a<, least
through the seventh grade, or
seventh school year.
2. To enter a high school a pupil
should have completed geography
and cram mar school arithmetic,
and should have a good
start in history and English
grammar. A cood start in algebra
or Latin, if not in both, is
desirable.
3. In hich a school such subjects
as advanced arithmetic,
English grammar and composition,
algebra, history, ami Latin
are met in the first year of the
course of study,
j 4. A high school i6 a school for
pupils who have reached at least
their fourteenth year of age, and
have been to school from fifiy to
seventy months, or have done an
equivalent in study.
5. It is a school for pupils old
enough and trained enough to
begin to do some independent
thinking in their studies.
0. A school in which the pti
pils aie studying. tor the first
time percentage in arithmetic,
have recently begun formal English
grartimar, and are yet studying
elementary history and
common school geography, cannot
in any sense be called a high
school.
7. A school of forty pupils
ranging from first reader to the
beginning of algebra and Latin,
is not a high school.
8. A school of young immature
boys and girls studying three
or four grammar school studies
and just beginning one or two
high school subjects, is not entitled
to be called a high school.
9. Ten and twelve-year old
pupils are not, as a rule, able to
grapplo with high school work.
10. A high school is a school
in which the teachers have had
3^ training in some school of higher
i.. ,.1 ~ ?:n .
grrtuc lllttll n vumgr ur lOWII
graded school.
11. It in a school in which the
teachers have mastered the subjects
?hey offer to teach before
they have classes in these subjects.
12. It is a school in which the
course or courses of study are
regularly laid down and systematically
followed.
13. A school that has a class
of beginners in Latin one year,
two or three pupils in algebra
the next year, and a pupil in geometry
the third year, is not a
high school, nor would it be correct
to say that it has a high
school depart inent.
14. A high school is one in
which the recitation periods are
long enough to permit some systematic
work. The State Board
of Education rightly puts the
minimum at forty minutes.
High school work cannot bo done
in recitation periods of lilteen ami
twenty minutes.
15. A high school, like any
other school, must have in it
enough teachers to do the required
wovk. For one teacher to
THE
undertake to teach a three-year
high school is ab-olutelv impossible
; lot one teacher to undertake
to teach a tour-year high
school i? utterly absurd.
1(>. A standard high school offora

v?q ivui ,? cui" KJI ? i?irv tu 11 ?? I-*11
pils. However, a good threeyear
high school is better than
an itherior four year course.
17. An efficient high school
fully prepares its pupils to enter
any of the regular courses in
any college of standard grade, or
it prepares those not going to college
to outer some vocation with
some degree ot special fitness.
A pupil well-prepared in a two
year high school may enter some
coUogeteouree without conditions
That means that that college if
doing high school work?eithei
from necessity or from choice.
18. A good modern high school
in addition to full preparatory
course" for college entrance, otfers
courses preparatory to en
tering industrial, commercial,
and domestic life. The large
majority of high school boys and
girls will never go to college:
these pupils need hicrh school
o
courses fitting them to enter life
as much as the other pupils need
courses fitting them for colleire.
10. A pood modern high school
must fit a few for college entrance
and must lit all in some degree
for vocational lite and for pood
citizenship.
20. A high school with adequate
range of courses of study
will attract and hold the boys at
well as the girls.

"Not CatchinV'
A county school teacher is
m?ny times the recipient of some
extremely amusing questions and
replies from the pupils under
ner.
Preceding the following incident
a diphtheria epidemic had
been raging in a certain young
lady's district, and although the
authorities had success in getting
it under control, they were still
somewhat strict concerning illness
in the neighborhood.
One of the rules laid down was
ihat no pupil was to attend
school, until after an examination
had been made, if any one
of the immediate family were
taken ill.
However, one morning a little
girl approached the young wo
man with the following :
"My ma she's sick this mornin,'
but she said I had to go t?
school jest the same,"
"Why, you know you shouldn't
| have come," said the teacher
i *41111 tiI the doctor had reporfcec
the matter, so 1 shall have U
send you home.
Well," the child replied, "it'f
jest a new baby up to our house
anyway, and ma said -she thought
it wasn't catchinV'
It's needless to say that thf
child stayed.?(). I). S.
