Book excerpt: Excerpt from Course of Study for the High Schools of Kansas "The State Board of Education shall prescribe the course of study for the normal institutes, and for the public schools of the state, and shall revise the same when the interests of the schools require it." The State Board of Education, acting under authority of the law as quoted above, has attempted to prepare courses of study that shall, in some degree at least, meet the needs of the high schools of Kansas. We believe that these courses are Sufficiently elastic to serve the purpose of practically every high school in the state. Recognizing the ideal held before the young people of the state by our institutions of higher learning we have outlined the college preparatory course, following very closely the work heretofore outlined in the University High School Manual. But we believe that the high schools are essentially the schools of the people, and not primarily preparatory schools for institutions of higher grade. We have therefore thought it feasible to so differentiate the courses That our young people may have in our high schools the greatest opportunity possible to fit themselves for the work they must do when they leave the high school. With this thought in mind we have outlined the general and normal courses. Let us, so far as possible, fit for college and university. Let us give the young men and the young women who must enter the business world immediately upon graduation from the high school the best preparation possible. Let us also train the still greater number of young men and young women who will teach school immediately upon graduation in the art and science of school management. We have thus sought to meet the need, as far as possible of the great throng of young people who are crowding into our high schools.
