written. 1t Is dignihed and stately, like the poem
and with all Its mastering Of the modern instru-

The unenviable prominence which has long
pertained to New-Yorl, ss being the only city OF
Importance IN the country without high schools
is soon TO bs wiped out. Not only has the
metropolis been behind other large cities In this
respect but there are many smaller cities. ana
even numerous good-sized towns, that take great
pride IN their high schools.
For the state Of things In New-YorK there
appear to have been two principal reasona
Some people. perhaps many. suppose that
the place Of high schools here has been
taken by tho College Of the City OF New
York and the Normal College. These insti-
tut.ons. II is true, are collegiate only IN part
and have some high-school features. but all VINO
are familiar with the work done IN them are
we'll aware that they in no sense serve the pur-
pose of well-conducted high schools. The SEQ
ond reason IS that until recently tho Board OF
Education was mainly governed by traditions.
ard had little sympathy with progressive ideas
IN educational matters.
The Reform School law OF last year specihcally
gave the Board power to establish high schools.
and soon after It became operative steps were
taken to carry this provision into effect An
excellent Committee High Schools was ap-
pointed, with Henry w. Taft as chairman. and
oomplsh the purpose in view A decision mas
been reached 10 establish four high Schools
and every effort is being put forth to get threo
OF them under way at the opening OF the next
school year, IN September. To accomplish this IL
IS necessary make OF school buildings
