Excerpt from The Township and Community High School Movement in Illinois, Vol. 35 Sir: The most remarkable feature in the progress of education in the United States within the past decade and a half has been the unprecedented increase of interest in secondary education, the multiplication of high schools and the large increase in the number of high-school students. Until about the beginning of this century interest in the public high school was confined almost wholly to cities and larger towns. Since that time it has extended more and more to the smaller towns, villages, and open country, until there is now free and easy access to good public high schools for a large portion of the rural population, and the tendency is toward universal high-school education for children, both urban and rural. This is a tendency which should be strengthened and encouraged in every possible way. Probably in no State has there been greater progress in the establishment of high schools than in the State of Illinois. I therefore recommend for publication as a bulletin of the Bureau of Education the account transmitted herewith of the township and community high-school movement in Illinois. This account has been prepared by Horace A. Hollister, professor of education and high-school visitor, University of Illinois. Respectfully submitted.
