Prior to the 1920's High schools had catered to college bound students. In contrast, High schools of the 1920s began offering a broad range of courses such as vocational training for those interest in industrial jobs.

Public schools in the 1920's had the challenge of teaching immigrant families, years before World War I had seen the largest stream of immigrants in the nation's history-close to 1 million a year.

Unlike the earlier Irish & English immigrants many of the new immigrants spoke no English

Taxes increased as well. School costs doubled between 1913-1920 then again doubled in 1926. Total Cost of American education in the mid 1920s amounted to $2.7 billion a year
