Debate Over Public High Schools Dictated by Colleges
J B Davis of the National Committee of Secondary Education told Bridgeport Rotary that colleges dominate high school curricula.

He urged education for all in a democracy with broad objectives including health, home life, vocation, citizenship, leisure, and character. Local education officials attended the talk.
