Vol. XI. F A C U L T Y 1914 been made to contribute a valuable element in the training given by the school. The Boys' Club and Girls' Club furnish well-equipped centers for a democratic social life which has largely removed the need or desire for fraternities and sororities. These, with a daily paper, a monthly magazine,and an annual publication, Weekly parties for the entire school, conducted in a simple and democratic manner, a great variety of athletic games in which alarge proportion of both boys and girls partici- pate on the school premises, various musical, literary, art and other clubs, all combine to offer the pupils opportunity to enjoy the forms of social activity in which they are interested under careful guidance and in such a manner as to avoid harmful distraction. That these varied activities are not incompatible with a high degree of success in the formal academic work of the pupils has been proven by experience, While it is certain that they assist greatly in developing qualities of self-reliance and leadership. The school is much concerned with the moral training of its pupils and has made a detailed study of the moral conditions as they exist. Nfuch attention is devoted to this important phase of education, both through informal methods and through instruction in connection with some of the departments. It is hoped that much more may be accomplished in this direction through sympathetic co-operation of the home and the school. For the sake of further improving the ehiciency of the school, the number of pupils admitted this year was reduced to four hundred, and a Waiting list was made of those Who applied in excess of this number. The Wisdom of this change has become apparent. It has made possible the maintenance of uniformly small classes and has largely relieved the crowded condition of the school buildings. The num- ber has proven large enough to carry on the various social activities Without lessen- ing their variety or success, FRANKLIN 'W. JOHNSON. 25
