Synopsis

Excerpt from Illinois High Schools: Their Organization, Maintenance, Administration and Instruction With Particular Reference to the Township High School

N 0 other part of the common school system is in such a state of flux and flow as that part called the high school. Even the number of years of work to be assembled under this term is a matter of discussion. The unusual growth in attendance in these upper grades of the common school has forced us into a thoroughgoing investigation of all the elements and forces involved in the high school situation.

In 1906 there were pupils enrolled in the high schools of Illinois. In the year 1916 there were enrolled, an increase of 96 per cent in ten years, while during the same period the increase in the enrollment in the elementary grades was only per cent. During the year ending June 30, 1916, the enrollment in the high schools had increased per cent over the previous year, while the enrollment in the elementary schools had increased only 1 per cent.
