Synopsis

National Conference on Secondary Education and Its Problems gathers the stenographic record of a pivotal 1903 meeting at Northwestern University. Edited by V. K. Froula, this volume documents the discussions, opening remarks, and anniversary events surrounding a national effort to examine the roles of endowed academies, private high schools, public high schools, and their connection to colleges and universities.

The proceedings cover major topics in secondary education, including the functions of private and public high schools, the system of university accreditation, and the moral and religious training of pupils. It also explores broader questions about the purpose of secondary schooling, the relationship between secondary and higher education, and the evolving expectations placed on schools in the early 20th century. The book preserves the sequence of addresses, reports, and general discussions that shaped the conference’s outcomes and themes.
