President David Starr Jordan Of
Stanford University, spoke some salt
ent truths before the National Educa-
tional Association when he opposed
the attempt to reduce the high school
to the role Of a college preparatory.
He said it was an impcrtinencc for the
university to try 10 push down a
course Of study upon the high schools.
| The first function of the high school
| is as finishing school and not as a
preparatory. 1t is the poor mans col
Iege. If there is any solid basis for
maintaining the high school with pub
| lie taxes it is this. If the fortunate
few who go to college can prepare
themselves in the public high school,
well and good but this is not the OBJ
ject for which the school is maintained.
Whatever bending may be necessary
to make connections between the high
school course and the college curriCu-
| lum. it must come from the college and
rot from the other. There should be
no warping Of the high school for any
such purpose The course should be
as symmetrically rounded as Il college
course. over three-fourths of the high
school graduates never 90 To college.
,, There can be no surcr way of arousing
hostility to the high school than by
making it primarily an adjunct to the
college or university.
OF late there has been much talk
about washing the floors If the school
houses, ana the committee on public
buildings has finally given orders for
the work to b. done in thorough
manner, under the direction If the
janitcrs. 1t does not seem out Of
reason for the floors to he washed two
or three times a year, in fact that is
not enough. Some arrangement should
be made 50 that every floor will be
washed once week or once Il fort
night all through the school year. Forty
children trampng in and out Of a
room four times a day. and sitting in
the room for five hours or more five
days in the week give the room pretty
hard usage and the dust that will ac-
emulate in a single day is not incon-
siderable. OF course constant sweep
ing goes 4 good way, but not far
enough. Soap and water are needed
in generous quantities. 1t is prob
able that next year Il new regulation
will be adopted. by which the janitOrs
will be required to do their own clean
ing in fact. most of them are willing
t. do this work. whenever it is re-
quired from them all alike. The COM
pensatiOn of the janitors might be in
creased a little and then they would
be glad to assume this extra work. 1t
is no great task to wash a schOorOOm
floor. and any bodied man ought
to be competent to do it. BY washing
one floor every day, a janitor could
keep his building always in first-class
order and we should hear no more
fault finding from parents because the
schoOlhOuseS are not cleaned during
the northumberland Advertiser.
