Synopsis

Excerpt from Biology and Human Life

It takes account further of another tendency in our current life, namely, the rapid extension of secondary-school opportuni ties to new population groups. The high schools now receive increasing numbers of boys and girls whose interests and aspira tions are radically different from those of earlier generations of pupils. The high school is no longer primarily or chiefly a college-preparatory institution. More and more of our students are concerned with the concrete and the practical rather than with the abstract and theoretical. Boys and girls who look for ward to an early entrance upon occupational activities and the responsibilities of earning and spending money have as much need for the study of biology as have those who plan to go to college or the professional schools. Even among these last there are very many for whom the subject can be most interestingly and most profitably developed in terms of our everyday affairs rather than in terms of academic analysis.
