520    "In 1880 the high school population of this country 
       consisted of only 110,000 boys and girls. By 1900 this 
       number had increased to 519,000; in 1920 to 2,199,000; and
       at the close of 1927 probably to 4,000,000. In addition, 
       the private secondary school enrollment in 1927 must have 
       been considerably in excess of a quarter of a million. 
       That is to say, almost one-half of the nation's population
       of teen age were attending high school institutions in 
       1927. In many respects the high school group represents 
       the most important investment made by any community. The 
       advantages which these boys and girls receive involve 
       considerable personal sacrifice for many parents, and lay 
       a heavy burden on the taxpayers. This group of young 
       people will determine the nature of community and national
       life in this Western hemisphere during the years to come, 
       because of the superior fitness for leadership conferred 
       upon it by a high school training. They have been called 
       "the hope of the world." There are distinctive features 
       connected with a boy's high school life which need to be 
       studied more carefully, if teachers, parents, and social 
       workers are to understand his personality correctly. It is
       not alone the magic word "education" which accounts for 
       the value of a high school career; it is rather a number 
       of factors--family, religious, leadership, athletic, 
       social, vocational, etc.--which go into the re-making of 
       the boy's childish personality. It is for the purpose of 
       lending a hand at this interesting, but intricate business,
       that the church, the Young Men's Christian Association, 
       the Boy Scouts and similar organizations arrange their 
       programs and attempt to bring their influence to bear. The
       idea of instituting the present detailed inquiry, with the
       object of discovering the facts responsible for the unique
       contribution which the Hi-Y Club makes to the enrichment 
       of the personality of its members, originated in a few 
       striking letters from high school boys themselves. As a 
       result, the method of extended correspondence with a group
       of these individuals as a source of data for personality 
       studies was given an extensive test. The Hi-Y movement is 
       part of the Christian Citizenship movement among teen age 
       boys. Its object is to "create, maintain and extend 
       throughout the school and community, high standards of 
       Christian character." While these group clubs of high 
       school boys may put on athletic and social programs at 
       times, the main purpose is devotional training and 
       character formation. The boys who are leaders in this work
       are assembled in state camps and conferences periodically 
       for special training and to fit them to exercise this 
       leadership in the school more effectively. About three 
       hundred different high school boys participated in this 
       experiment voluntarily, and of course with varying degrees
       of enthusiasm"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c)
