The attempt n* the schools to become quasi colleges of low grade Is shown by their having a larger per cent, of students Btudylng psychology, astronomy, trigonometry and history than the average for the nation. A good beginning has been mane tn laboratory courses In tho elementary science studies, but not so much prog- ress is shown In technical courses. The purely text-book, memoriter courses still too largely characterize the work of the schools. The Bchools are not evenly located over the Stntes, but are largely con centrated in the larger towns nnd wholly without high school facilities. Here is one of the chief defects in our system, and calls for the best thought of our people. It necessarily results in great productive and economic lots to the South nnd euta down the attend ance for tho section.

The rich could attend the academies as In England. With the overturning of the slave- holding aristocracy of the South and l lie attempts of the North to foist a black Republican government upon the whites, all classes of Southern whites were drawn together for protection. The demand was made tor univer sal education through a public school system This demand was made and Only last year did tho financial state ment of the South equal that-of I860.

Hue-fourth of the high school students nre found in the pre paratory departments of our higher Institutions. Many of the colleges nre but high schools; In fact, eighty-four "colleges'* arc included in the list of 1,415 secondary schools, as they show no college work. Many other colleges have fewer than one-third of their at tendance of college grade.

There are eight public high schools for boys only, and eight for girls only. There are sixty-eight private schools for boys and seventy-nine for girls. All the others arc coeducational. The entire Income for maintenance of the public schools reported In 1903 was $827,000, or a little over $1,200 to the school. The colleges seem to regard tho sec ondary school largely from tho stand point of thetr ability to prepare stu dents to meet their particular require ments for entrance. In some sections college administrative boards attempt secluslve isolation, but must extend a helping hand to weaker brothers. There is no room in this work for nar rowness, Jealousy, bigotry or mean ness; these would bo treason. It If the cull of the wise for the perfecting of our educational system, which should be composed of the state and non-state Institutions. Tlie high school will find Its true place as tho center and heart of such a system. The development of the high school in every country will havo an Immediate effect upon the teach ing force, tlie educational tone, ttie re- source* nf the elementary schools. Tho higher institutions will be helped by having better prepared nnd more stu dents, by being able to lap off prepara tory departments, thereby concentrat ing energies ui>on college work. The South will feel in every industry, pro- fession nnd condition In life the effects of tho higher training, culture and skill constantly increasing number of youth from these centers of Intellec tual light. The General Education Board after a careful study nf educational condi tions In tlie South and elsewhere came to tho conclusion that tlie high school was Iho point of attack for Improving both tho common schools and the col leges. This board assisted In main taining a chair of secondary education In the University of Georgia for two years, and then extended its aid to support similar chairs In a number of other Southern State Universities. curriculum must be developed as an end in Itself, to give the maximum amount of mental power, culture nnd skill to Its students, and the colleges must then adjust their requirements to meet the needs of these graduates. The whole theory of college entrance requirements Is shifting from the Iron clad requirements of each college, oft en Imposed arbitrarily to meet the convenience of the head of some de partment In adjusting his courses, to a comprehensive study and adjustment to tho needs of tho schools and their students. The phrases "preparation for college" and “preparation for life" are becoming obsolete. As President Elliot says in discussing the question that “fitting for college wus essential ly tho same as fitting for life.'' “Clearly If the high school does not fit a boy for life four years better than the grammar school, the high school Is, in some measure, falling to perform Its functions, and we should never for a moment lose sight of the fact that school and college are both training for life, and that the subsequent life should bo larger, more productive and more enjoyable .the longer has been the preparation for It.” Students pursuing any well-balanced course In a high school ought to be able to continue their studies In the higher Institutions, without break or jumping an arbitrarily imposed fence. Yet colleges most of necessity protect themselves against Incompetent stu dents, If they do justice to tho others. There should, therefore, be two ways to enter college—by certificate from the principal of schools, approved after This aid will be extended to all Ihe ‘ competent Inspection, and by examlna- Soutlirrn States as rapidly as proper tlon for all others.

Tho certificate system can never te a success without careful Inspection of the work of other schools. This has been clearly proven In the twenty or thirty years’ experience in the Middle West, where the accredited system originated. The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools util ises tho Inspectors In the State Uni versities In making up the list of ap proved schools for tho section and in defining unit courses. In the South a plan muy be devised to utilize In much tho same way the professors of secondary education In our Southern State Universities. These professors already exchange monthly reports and meet annually together with their Presidents In conference. Their next meeting will be held at Charlottesville, November 22-24. A Southern College Entrance Certificate Board should bd organised In such a way as to secure the services of the State University in spectors and bring about co-operation In all our educational forces without additional expense to the Institutions. I suggest that a committee be ap pointed to report later for the estab lishment of such an Entrance Certifi cate Board. This board would prepare a general band-book on secondary edu cation, defining unit courses and sug gesting group courses. Reports woqld be made annually, giving lists of ap proved schools In each State and the extent of apnm«i. Uniform entrance certificate blanks would bo used by all Institutions affiliating or desiring td uso them. Tho plan Is already work ing satisfactorily In my State. Tho General Board would extend Its useful ness uniforlty to all Btatcs. We must not be content with correlating tho strong special preparatory schools, but e$ forts must go out to the strengthening ••f the two and three-year high schools and the weaker academies. In this we aqk your aid. Already as a result of this specific work Virginia has appro priated $50,000 annually tor aid to high schools, and agreement has been secured In grading the schools Ten nessee has voted liberally In many counties for local county tax for sup port of county high schools. Georgia has voted $70,000 annually to maintain district agricultural high schools, and many towns and several counties have voted a local tax for maintaining com mon high schools. South Carolina has begun reorganization of high schools under State alrectlon, and will doubt less secure State aid next year. Flor ida gives state aid to all her high schools according to grade. Alabama Is itcrfectlng her district high schools, requiring uniform course and supervi sion. We have but to ilnltb, nnd the next few years will see the perfection of a system so wisely begun by our fathorz. May no Institution, dr teacher, or professor prove a laggard.
