Secondary Education in the Last
Twenty-five Years

FRANK WEBSTER SMITH, ADJUNCT-PROFESSOR OF EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY

T

OF NEBRASKA

WENTY-FIVE years of educational history! Each generation believes that the world has been re-made within the limits of its own experience. This thought is not the product of mere sentiment, but rather of instinct which feels situations, and feels them truly in such matters. The forging of new things, whether they are actually new or mere remodelings, is so vivid and realistic a part of experience that the efficacy of present agents seems paramount. And yet the foundation of it all goes far back, and even present details have an evolution, the most inportant part of which lies back of the experience of the generation which is responsible for the final form.

The last twenty-five years have seen a complete reorganization of our schools, and our educational thought, curriculum, method, ideals, school facilities, and school administration have all shown new growth. So radical have been the changes that they seem almost new creations. The schools thus transformed have been drawing closer to the people and have been drawing an ever increasing proportion of the school population.

In this brief sketch, which I have been asked to prepare for the anniversary number of EDUCATION, I shall touch only some of the larger points suggested in this general summary.
