Excerpt from Geography: Physical, Economic, Regional The World War stimulated the reconstruction of our educational scheme, and in all parts of this country efforts are being made so to recast our courses of study that school-education may be of greater value in the affairs of life. In this work the secondary schools are being carefully studied. This is very important because comparatively few of our young people extend their school life beyond the high school. This means that the studies selected for this four-year period should be chosen because of their actual value to the average individual, rather than because they prepare a few students to enter college.
