HE first co-operative high school gathering text book knowledge, LR Oy AS SWNdeer in the United Stutes, designed to give commercial students practical experience at the same time they are Was opened this week in Publte “SEIN <a 4 For One Week the Students Will Study the Theories of Commercial Pursuits. Sclool No. 44 at Hubert and Collister Streets, Manhattan, under the direc« Yon of Principal R. Wesley Burnham, When the school gets into full ope- ation, within the next week or two, t will have a class of about 1,000 pupils, made up of a consolidation of the classes from eleven high schools throughout the city where the co- operative plan has been followed in an organized way for tho last several years, While 500 of these students are tn their classes the other 500 will be at work in department stores and every other kind of business houses, so that on their graduation they will be well versed in the actual conditions they must meet in the business world, as well as in the technical instruction to be had in echool books, “We believe that in a commercial course practical experience is far more valuable than text-book knowl- edge,” said Principal Burnham to- day in explaining the plan. “We train our pupils in the classes for two years and then pair them off. Take two girls of about the same attain- ments, ability and desires as to the sort of work they wish to untertake. Our co-ordinators then get a suitable position for them in a business house, “One of the girls takes this posi- tion for a week, while the other studies. At the end of the week the second fir] takes the job, w the tirst returns to her clas, and—if the work is providing the right kind of experte they keep up this ex- change throvichout the sehool season. ‘The same plan is put In force hout the class. @n objector will say, ‘you “Bi "The Noxt Week These Same Pup get in only half the normal amount of-class work this way. This ls not so, We find that the pup who has the ambition and energy to under- Yake the co-operative work applies hfmeelf far more intensively than the ordinary pupil, and makes up aay de- Iny in his studtee ‘There wo fourteen co-ordinators on a Mr. Burnham's staff. They We touch with business concerns of the students in poaltions, Then they ) on their work, They keep close study the k points of the stu- dents at work and report back to the teachers, who endeavor to strengthen the pupils in these points the following week. ‘Thus the teach- ors are uble to impart exactly the sort of knowledge that has been found of iwtual benefit in the busi- ness world “Tho old theory of a commercial course," said Mr. Burnham, “was to have the students study imaginary bank sta «und work out the- oret al problems. ‘Then, when they went to work, they threw up their hands and sald, ‘why, this isn’t anyihing like they taught us fn school.” Our plan ends this “Our ox ins that our pupils sane Wages as the re 008, there js no ques’ ‘oi Inbor Yh the plan.

The pian here- tofore has been applied mostly to pupils taking the three-year course. Another advantage of the co-oper- ative plan is that the ambitious stu- dent has a chanes to earn monoy while he is studying. Also, on his graduation, instead of being a business tyro he Is more or less of a speciallst. In this connection Mr, Burnham said that many students on being put to work were apparently failures, In- stead of being fired out in disgrace they are tried at something else until they hit on something in which they are really interested, after which they shoot ahead rapidly. In many casus {t has been found some of the most successful students are ones who we tried at four or five occupations pbe- fore they struck the one for which they are best suited. , The plan also le a big advantage to employers, for it opens up to them a class of new applicants who start in thoroughly trained and who do not have to go through the tedious process of being “broken In." Mr. Burnham said the co-operative educational plan was originated a the University of Cincinnati al twelve years ago, but its operation heretofore has been confined mostly to the big universities and to en- is Hie Themselves to Business— and Get Paid for It. gineering and oth courses it was start high school classes in D or five years ag time a whole high school has t voted to it in an organized fas!
