THE REORGANIZATION OF HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE 
Frep D. Barper, State NorMAL UNIVERSITY 
THESES 
1. The day has passed when it was pertinent to ask whether 
high-school science needs reorganization: high-school science is 
now being reorganized. 
2. The laissez faire attitude of teachers of the biological 
sciences and of earth science, has been a large factor in bring- 
ing about the marked decline in those sciences in the high 
school and the substitution of agriculture, domestic economy 
and general science in their places. 
3. The shift from “pure science” to applied science has 
occurred chiefly in the first two years of the high-school science 
curriculum. This shift has been the result of a wide-spread 
conviction that the science generally offered in the first two 
years was scarcely worth while.
