Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Committee on the Junior High School, Presented to the High School Masters Club of Massachusetts, March 17, 1917 The Committee of the High School Masters' Club of Massachusetts, which was appointed at the annual meeting, February 20, 1915, to consider the subject of the Junior High School, hereby respectfully submits its report. The fact which has most of all impressed the committee in the course of its inquiry is the remarkable interest which is being shown in the junior high school movement in all parts of the country. There seems to be a widespread feeling that the organization has demonstrated its desirability and practicability. There are several reasons for the interest in this movement. For many years careful students of the American educational system have been expressing dissatisfaction with the work of the last two or three grades of the elementary school. By the end of the sixth grade, a normal pupil if he has been well taught has acquired the fundamentals of his education. He is in possession of the means of broadening his horizon and enlarging his powers by work in the great fields of human knowledge. He is in possession, or ought to be, of the common ideals and common knowledge which is essential for a reasonable adjustment to his environment. His further progress is, however, impeded in the upper grades in several ways. The first of these is the congestion of the school program by the introduction of many subjects which have been added in response to the enlarged social demands on the schools. These new subjects are generally of great value and with our complex civilization we cannot hope to return to the three "R's." The trouble has come through the frequent addition of new subjects without a corresponding and necessary elimination of useless material from the old subjects and through a failure to correlate properly the subjects of study. Another way in which the work of the upper grades has been rendered less profitable is by the amount of time given to useless reviews.
