so many boys and girls do not go 10
High school or do not stay there be-
cause the school is not offering what
they want. The public is demanding
that the High school curriculum be en-
riched and the school be re-organized
tc meet this want Progressive COM
munities are suppleEentiHg the old
cultural courses with new vocational
courses for those who want them. They
are Offering TO the boys and girls
in stenograplly. typewTiting. book
keeping. agriculture, manual training
rand domestic science. And they find
that boys and girls flock To these
schools by the hundreds who would
rot otherwise have come at all. The
duh ones become skilled workers. the
lazy ores become Industrious. the
problem OF school discipline disap-
pears and honest labor becomes re-
spucted where il was formerly held in
contempt.
ut is only by thus experimenting
the cultural with the vocational that

III al classes. And il is only by doing
this. by reaching the great mass Of
workers and educating them in things
helpful and practical that the school
will be able to do its part in raising
their standards Of work and their
ideals Of life, in broadening and sweet
enins their lives, and in making them
better men and women. And il is only
