Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Bulletin No; 1: Botany The law of this state provides that the State Superintendent and the State Board of Education shall prepare courses of study for the schools of the state. Such courses of study were prepared at the meeting of the State Board of Education, held at Olympia in April, 1905. The law contemplates a uniform course of study for common schools and for high schools. As long as the text books used in the state were the same for all districts, the course of study in both common and high schools was really only an allotment of work, an assignment of a certain number of pages to be covered in a given time. Diversity of text books, in view of the requirement of a uniform course of study, materially changed the situation. The need of a unifying influence was felt at once. To meet this need a Manual for the Elementary Schools was issued in 1905. It has long been evident that a manual for High Schools was also needed. Any one at all familiar with educational conditions in Washington knows full well that there is greater variation in the quantity, quality and methods of work done in the high schools than in the common schools. So far there has been practically no supervision of high schools in this state. There has been some inspection, but very little supervision, and even this limited inspection has been confined to four-year high schools. There are two methods possible in the preparation of a high school manual. First, competent instructors in various lines of high school work can be secured to prepare material and suggestions in their special lines, and the entire series of papers issued as a high school manual. Second, a series of conferences of high school instructors can be arranged, one conference for each line of work; at these conferences, there can be a thorough discussion of questions pertaining to a particular branch, and the conclusions of the conference published as a bulletin by the state department.
