The Need of the Junior High School
Abstract
An enthusiastic desire for education has swept through our country during the past twenty five years bringing with it a tremendous increase in the number of public schools from Maineto California. The changes in our industrial and social life and the unparalleled in- crease in the number and kinds of children continuing school work beyond the elementary grades have necessitated the reorganization of the Course of Study and methods of presentation of the accepted content. The junior high school has been a direct outcome of this reorganization scheme. It is an organization of the seventh, eighth, and ninth years of school life into a separate unit adapted to the mental and physical characteristics of pupils of an important physiological age.
