A NEEDED REFoRM In OUR
HIGH SCHOOLS
BY A. Ross Hill, Dean Of the Mis-.
souri, Teachers College.

Too often, l fear, the farmer boy
who Is fortunate enough to get into a
high school, is likely to find that the
subjects taught have little relation to
his interests .and needs, unless he has
decided to abandon the farm and, pre-
pare himself for some profession like
law or medicine. In fact, four years
spent in high school as courses are
usually arranged may wean the boy
away from the farm even II at the out
set he entered simply with the view of
increasing his intelligence and pre-
pairing himself in a general way for
any sort Of life work. This defect in
present courses of study In the high
schools can best be remedied by the
introduction of courses in Agricul-
ture, Horticulture, and Manual Train
Ing, and by making then solid courses
In the hands Of teacher, who, in
addition to good general scholarship,
possesses a sound knowledge Of the
Science Of Agriculture, or is himself
proficient In the use Of tools. Such
courses could include the study OF
soils, Of plant growth, horticulture,
climatology and like subjects. These
courses, besides containing much of
general scientific value, would natur-
ally lead pupils to an interest In re-
la5ed subjects that are already recog-
nized in most high schools, such as
botany, chemistry and physical geo.
graphy. Better general scholarship
could thus be secured, while the boy
would retain his interest in and
sympathy with farm life. 1t is high
time for us to put some reason and
common sense into our courses .of
study both In the grades and In high
school, instead OF unconsciously and
blindly following tradition, for some OF
the work now done has no other iusti-
ication.
