The Harrisburg Junior High School was organized as a separate unit from the senior high school during the present school year. Its establish- ment took place when the schools were organized on the 5-3-3 plan, the junior high school being composed of the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. Since the beginning of the second semester of the present school year, January 26, 1926, the Harrisburg Junior High School has had a principal of its own. Formerly the junior high and the senior high were both housed in the old building at Harrisburg, but on March 29, 1926, the senior high moved to the new Charles H. Milby Senior High School building and the junior high school now has more room for development. The junior high school draws from those children of adolescent age and our course of study and organization should be such as to appeal to the adolescent child. The most important aims of the junior high school organization, in my opinion, are as follows: (1) To humanize the educa- tion of adolescents; (2) To prevent unnecessary withdrawals; (3) To fur- ther the cause of democracy in education; (4) To develop personal charac- ter and train for good citizenship. The Harrisburg Junior High School is endeavoring to accomplish the aims set forth above. (1) We attempt to humanize instruction by appeal- ing to the individual whenever possible; (2) We believe that unnecessary withdrawals can be prevented by adapting the school work to the needs of the pupils and by appealing to the interests of the students; (3) The cause of democracy in education may be furthered by giving each child an equal opportunity, regardless of whether such child is rich or poor, good or bad, exceptional or backward; (4) We can develop character and train for good citizenship through physical training, required of every student, and through collateral activities such as the girl reserves, Hi-Y and other clubs, student welfare committee, etc. Of course we cannot accomplish all the things we desire overnight; for it takes time to work out a satisfac- tory organization. However, a great deal has been done during the present school year and we hope to continue to progress in the future. T. L. Barnhouse, Principal, Harrisburg Junior High School.
