Is a High School Education of
Any Use?

tuss Iecnntcnt High Evening SchOOt.
Statistics show that not all students
graduating from high school enter col
lege
The question presents itself, does
the student graduating from high
school get any value from his four
years' study? Will algebra latin and
similar subjects give him an advan.
tage over others who have not his ed
ucation?
Before answering the FIRST question.
we must consider the nature OF his
studies. In the first year he has al.
zebra, latin, literature and his choice
In some subject In science. The sec
ond is nearly the same. The third
year has some modern language In.
stead OF latin and geometry instead OF
algebra. The fourth is the same as
the third.
We first take algebra; What use
does the average student get out OF
algebra? The answer n: Algebra
gives him the ability TO enalyze prob
lens such as used In the different
branches OF engineering which could
not be solved otherwise, From Latin
he derives culture mostly, as It's use
