It is doing this to day, 'with courses that fit boys and girls for business and for trades.The Boston Latin School three hundred years ago offered a handful of bo, s the Latin classics as their preparation for living. Today over twenty-three thous and high schools, with a quarter of a million teachers, and administrators, are training nearly six million boys and girls to be useful citizens.
