Excerpt from Junior-Senior High School Administration
In 1915 Charles Hughes Johnston invited me to collaborate with him in writing a little book in the form of a manual on the administration of the junior and senior high school. Doctor Johnston believed that there was need for a book that would clearly set forth the best administrative practices in the best American high schools. As we worked on the problem, however, we gradually changed our plans until it became our purpose to write a medium-sized volume on the administration of the junior and senior high school, in which we would endeavor to describe not merely some of the best administrative practices, but to give, sometimes by implication and sometimes directly, the principles upon which these administrative practices should be based.
Doctor Johnston was one of the foremost advocates of what has commonly been called the socialized school, using the term socialized school in a technical sense that will be generally understood by the profession. "The Modern High School," which Doctor Johnston prepared in co-operation with a number of men and women, principally men and women working in the secondary field, was the first book to treat definitely the problems of socializing the administration and teaching methods of the high school and to attack the problems of the social life and the social programme of the high school. This book was a pioneer.
