dent may elect some studies and
receive credit toward a diploma.
The minds of all are not alike in
capacity nor inclination, so that
it is entirely proper for a school
to make provisions for these na
tive differences.
It is planned for a student to
be awarded a four-year high
school diploma when fifteen
units of work have been com
pleted. An unit means the pur
suit of a study for thirty six
weeks, five recitations per week
of forty minutes duration. The
completion of this curriculum
will give ample preparation for
entrance at any of the colleges or
universities of the country. The
time has come when it is a great
handicap to enter college without
this training. The training which
is to be had in a high school is
much more liberal, and better
fits a student for college entrance
than a distinctly college prepara
tory school. It is no longer pos
sible to enter a standard college
without the equivalent of such
training, because standard col
leges are requiring fourteen units
for admission to the freshman
class. Of course there are still
some "collegettes” that will take
students before they have finish
ed the required units in the high
school, giving a degree of infer
ior rank, and making amends by
extensive advertising in the na
ture of imposing catalogs. Such
things muy satisfy the mind that
is seeking a veneering, but it can
not be substituted for real educa
tional training, and cannot satis
fy the demand “to know”. If
the standard college makes any
allowance for a deficiency of
units of preparation, it provides
for the shortage to be made up
before a degree is conferred.
The latter arrangement is neces
sary where there are not a suffi
cient number of high schools to
give the preparation, hut other
wise, it is out of place and is only
a means of securing money from
the man who is looking for short
cuts to failure.
The main function of the high
school is not preparation for col
lege entrance. Only a very small
per cent people go to college. The
high school is ' ‘the peoples’ col
lege. Here it is that an educational
training is offered which contains
the subjects which are cultural,
and others that more distinctly
or specifically aid in the prepara
tion for earning a living, and the
making of good citizens. The
function is so plain that “a man
who runs may see”, and estimate
