In towns where the number of secondary pupils is large, High Schools—sometimes called Colleges—are established. In these the subjects taught have not to the same extent a bearing on the occupations of the people of the Dominion as in the District High Schools, though commercial work, agriculture, and domestic science are taught also. The education is more general than in the District High Schools, and leads to the professions. You see how large is the number of pupils in attendance. Can you not become one of them?
