Excerpt from The High School: Its Function, Organization and Administration
Part I deals with the function of the high school. Means cannot be intelligently chosen or wisely used in the absence of clearly defined aims that will actually serve as guides in practice. In the belief that generalized aims do not serve as useful guides in the daily work of the school, the several points of view from which the education of youth Should be regarded have been emphasized and discussed in detail.
The work of the secondary school has been viewed heretofore quite exclusively from the standpoint of intellectual develop ment. Physical needs, employment of leisure time, work interests, social adjustments, all need to be taken into ac count in any discussion of the education of youth. These various viewpoints have been given rather full treatment in order to make clear the true function of the high school. Throughout Part I the social needs and interests of youth have been stressed.
The needs and interests of girls have not received at the hands of the school the discriminative attention they de serve. Secondary schools, so long exclusively boys' schools, have not until very recently made any readjustments to meet the requirements of girls. In view of this, a chapter has been given to the discussion of the education of girls.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed discussion on the evolution of the high school curriculum and its necessary adjustments in a rapidly changing society. The author questions the traditional system of rigid, inflexible high school coursework that focuses solely on intellectual development, especially amid the increasing diversity of students, their backgrounds, and interests. This book instead proposes that education should encompass a more comprehensive, holistic, and adaptable approach with an emphasis on social efficiency. It emphasizes replacing a narrow, purely academic curriculum with one that addresses the physical, social, intellectual, and emotional needs of all students so they can flourish in all aspects of life. This proposed reframing and expansion of high school education demands a candid examination of the aims and means of education and a recognition that traditional aims do not serve as useful guides in the daily work of schools. The author provides a detailed analysis of the various viewpoints from which the education of youth should be regarded in order to meet the social challenges of the day and prepare students to be productive and engaged members of society. This book is a valuable asset for students of education, educators, and anyone invested in reforming and improving high school education.
