Excerpt from The Use of Psychological Tests in the Educational and Vocational Guidance of High School PupilsThe secondary school population of the United States has since 1890, increased three times as fast as the general population. In the year 1915 there were pupils of secondary grade for every persons of the general population, whereas, in 1890 there were only five. According to recent estimates there are in the United States high schools caring for pupils requiring the services of teachers, and calling for the expenditure of per year for salaries and mainte nance.The problem of administering the physical side of this vast educational enterprise has occupied the attention of school authorities to such an extent that small consideration has been given to the need for internal betterment. The average American community is willing to tax itself for material equipment. An imposing high-school building becomes a matter of civic pride. It is a good talking point in chamber of commerce literature, and can be shown to visitors as an index of the progressive nature of the community.Many of our city high schools are housed in buildings superior to those occupied by the best colleges and universities a generation ago. Buildings costing from to are not un common, and it is perfectly safe to say that no other nation has begun to spend as much upon its secondary school buildings as has our own.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
