Excerpt from The High School: Its Function, Organization and Administration Part I deals with the function of the high school. Means cannot be intelligently chosen or wisely used in the absence of clearly defined aims that will actually serve as guides in practice. In the belief that generalized aims do not serve as useful guides in the daily work of the school, the several points of view from which the education of youth Should be regarded have been emphasized and discussed in detail. The work of the secondary school has been viewed heretofore quite exclusively from the standpoint of intellectual develop ment. Physical needs, employment of leisure time, work interests, social adjustments, all need to be taken into ac count in any discussion of the education of youth. These various viewpoints have been given rather full treatment in order to make clear the true function of the high school. Throughout Part I the social needs and interests of youth have been stressed. The needs and interests of girls have not received at the hands of the school the discriminative attention they de serve. Secondary schools, so long exclusively boys' schools, have not until very recently made any readjustments to meet the requirements of girls. In view of this, a chapter has been given to the discussion of the education of girls. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
