Page T izvefnty-S2213 MEETING THE TIMES The activities of high school students in support of the war program showed beyond a doubt that young people will spend their energies and educate themselves while doing, oncelthey see the significance of the work to which they have dedicated the1nselves.',lVar work on the home Ellis, be it remembered, provided an educating experience not only for the intellectually elite, but also for many students who in the old days would have done no more than to submit with docility to their high school training. Now it has become the problem of the high school teacher to create motivation for all learning similar to the one made by war. It has become the problem of each teacher to try to bring to each child such at motivation, for once a student sees the value for himself of what he studies, he will give himself the disciplines necessary to learning. Wlhat he is to learn depends on his needs and his interests. The school curriculum must differ for each student, must change with the changing years. Always, however, as ours is a democracy providing education for the many, not schooling for a few, the aim of teachers must ever be the same: to make of each boy and each girl an individual whose capacities, mental, physical, and social are fully developed-to make of him, in short, at worthy citizen of our United States. -, - -' .1 -fw , ,tm X P7 i -is 1? 2 ' - .L il, 'V- ffl f 'L if a 'B fa eff' ilflfiw 5-- az, .3 Q wx 'f?'25m,e 1, wg , , 5-.easier -5 '!--,.zzai.,fs4- , wg ,va - 4 ' ' W h 95? 53 t V' A N-W' 'fy fam 5, 5,232 gr ,L f ? y gong' 'ngwg msd: y E , f Aa Q,..3s.Q,,,,., 4:5 6 we 'ia 2 .34 ey:-,::1f,zagg2:za..315-:1 ?r?-1:1145 , ' '34 ,K 2 :bf 2-hr ff'::4:e

ADMINISTRATION Page Twenty-e1'glzf DR. FOX, Vice-Principal Aiteacheri at Bay View who really knows how war and the conversion to peace-time living affects one and all, is Dr. Fox, for all year long he has passed on the excuses brought by absentees. He knows the chronically sick who always look well, he knows those who have to help out at home, he knows all the luckless ones who contract contagious diseases, he knows those students who like pleasant spring days. He reads all the excuses daily, and in spite of them maintains his good sense of humor. Vilhen he has completed his check for the day and handed his reports to the office for the Hnal records, he becomes once more a scholarly teacher of English, the author of a well-known handbook in grammar and text in composition, at wise, human, delightful raconteur whose stories beginning with HN ow, when I was a boyf' have delighted classes for many years. Here is a man who has watched the changing fashions in English teaching along with the changing dress of his students. He knows that however much the outer' appearance changes, students are not very different from their parents and that the work of an English teacher still concerns the whole of living, not just the narrow limits of a text.
