Abstract
- The American public high school of today is without counterpart in any other country. There are about twenty thousand high schools in the U.S. of three years and four years educational span. For many years past professional geography has had slight contact with secondary education. Professional geographers by and large, hold opinions on the high school that arise from individual experience with isolated schools and from an awareness of a lack of geographic background on the part of college students. Geographers tend to deplore what they hear about the school social studies programs.
