raj district, and these are the vital in
terests of a large part of the popula.
ton.
Colebrook academy does not propose
to become a vocational school. 1t re-
mains a general high school. The
courses in agriculture and domestic
science exist side by side with thor
ough courses in the traditional high
school subjects. as well as the com
mercial branches.
"Its purpose is not primarily to make
good farmers or skilled mechanics OF
professional housekeepers," says Hon
H G. Morrison, state superintendent OF
New Hampshire. 1.-THE primary object
is the education of the boy and girl to
become a sincere and efficient and
happy man and woman. capable Of be-
coming an educated worker with ma
terial things. capable of getting life's
happiness out Of work rather than out
of the leisure which comes after work
If indeed it comes at all.
The significance of the Colebrook
movement lies in the fact that it dem
onstrates the basic principle upon
which the American high school must
stand or fall: that it shall be a direct
source of strength to the community
that pays for it. The feeling exists
that secondary rural schools have in
many instances weakened the com
munities which supported them; that
by the very efficiency Of their work
they have trained young men and wo
men for other fields of usefulness and
have thus frequently deprived the com
munity of the services of it's best Cit

How can the high school best meet

pie of Colebrook. N. H., think they
have solved the problem. Their exper-
iment is Interestingly described in
bulletin just issued for free distribu-
ton by the United States bureau of
education.
Colebrook academy is located in
town of about 1000 population in
northern New Hampshire. Starting as
private school. it later became part
of the public system Of education. For
years it has successfully done the work
expected of high school in the tradi-
tional branches of the New England
school. Now it is trying to do some
thing more. Without lowering its
standards. without ceasing to furnish
the training necessary for those going
into the professions. it is endeavoring
to provide an adequate education for
the great mass of boys and girls who
ought to remain and grow up with the
country.
