cities has increased only 62 per cent,
whereas the high school enrolment
has increased sol per cent, and high
school graduation has increased
694 per cent That is, the
nineteenth century high school was
for a few, the twentieth century high
school is for the many. In the old high
school the pupils were chiefly of three
classes. First, small number of boys,
definitely planning to take profession
al courses in colleges; second, a
larger number of girls planning def
nitely to teach; and third, by far the.
largest class of all, a few boys and
more girls who were not yet old
enough or strong enough to go to
work, or whose parents for some rea-
son, did not wish them as yet to begin
labor, and who were not in the high
school with a definite purpose of fit
ting themselves for a life work, but
because in a general way the high
school was a good place to be. Boys
and girls that did definitely intend
to enter industry were already in the
shops and factories.
'The twentieth century high school
has, to be sure, all these three classes,
but it has in addition a very large
number of boys and girls who are con-
scientiously fitting themselves to take
places in the commercial and indus
trial life. Notice, for example, that
while only 81 per cent. of the old high
school were boys, 46 per cent. of the
new are boys. The high school then
has not merely increased in size; it
has changed it's scope; it has ceased
to be an academy, aiming on the one
hand to prepare for colleges, and on
the other to give a veneer of culture
to the leisure classes, and has become
instead what has been truly called
The peoples college, a great educa-
ticnal institution in which the masses
are being definitely trained for their
life work.
1--WE have lived in the midst of the
greatest educational revolution the
world has ever known, and have real
lied it not. Never before have the
masses so awaked to a desire for
higher education. Never before was a
great educational need so promptly
and efficiently met.
THE twentieth century high school
is, then, for everybody, but some peo-
pie in every community do not know
it, and it devolves upon your high
school principals to awaken the sleep
ers, Attend the parents meetings of
the ward principals, and say to the
parents: The high school is for your
boy; if he is not there he is being
deprived of that to which he is fairly
entitled. Other boys are getting a
high school education; if your boy is
not, he wiz have to run the race of
life against big handicap"

Lawful, But Dangerous.

That the catching of catfish and
sturgeon in Lake Winnebago with set
lines is permissible under the fish
and game laws as they relate to those
waters, yet that whoever INDUCES in
that pursuit does so in peril of the
law relating to the catching of game

an offeGse, whether the catching of
the pike were intended or otherwise
