He Rules By Sage Suggestion, Not Force The secondary school is feeling the impact of organization and curriculum change in these war times more than any other part of the school system. These adjustments for Springfield High School are the responsibility of Principal C. L. Fox. They have demanded the organization of the Victory Corps-with all its detail of branches and qualifications, the making possible graduation before draft for a large number of Springfield High School boys, the adjustments of schedules for part-time employment of students to meet the man-power shortage, and the supplying of volunteer service for a multiple of war and civic needs. Principal Fox has kept before his mind the es- sential values of the school-has tempered the organization to the current change and demand, and all with the minimum of interruption and confusion.
