CHARACTER America is becoming a nation of triflers, a na- tion that believes that there are no set, irrevocable laws governing human conduct; that anything is right if you can get away with it; that all ques- tions are controversial. If there are immutable laws which govern the material universe, there are just as immutable laws which govern the reactions between human beings. This is the old law. It matters not what men think about the laws which govern the social universe; these laws will still demand their inexorable penalties. God is not mocked. “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap” is as true for groups of people as for in- dividuals. The schools in their effort to pro- mote discussion, to avoid indoctrination, to be fair and comprehensive in the trifling, careless attitude in which man is the judge of his own actions. Some lines of conduct are eternally right and others eternally wrong. The fashions may change, the conditions may vary from decade to decade but the basic laws still hold. Why not make character training a more conscious, more de- liberate objective in the schools? Some educators go so far as to claim that behavior and character of students is none of the institution’s business, and that the sooner universities can learn this the better it will be for the universities and stu- dents alike. If schools exist for service to all the people this attitude can not be maintained. Taken from the address by A. G. Crane, Wyo- ming State Education Association, Thermopolis, Wyoming, October 28, 1937.

That first day we set a goal which could only be reached by hard work. We have learned to be courteous, thoughtful, and obedient in a pleasant way. At Christmas time our room took part in the school program. We also had parties at Hallowe’en, Valentine’s and Easter. All the pupils have made notable progress in reading during the year. All grades have acquired a firm reading foundation. Silent reading, group reading, and class reading has been stressed. We read books from our own library and many from the Carnegie Library in Sheridan. From the standpoint of both teacher and pupils, we feel that this school year has been very successful.
