The Staff has given much time to the project represented by I Mb OKACLli. In later years, our classmates will desire, perhaps, to return for a few moments to the school life which is now drawing to a close. If this book can in any way gratify this wish, or can make some dark day brighter, we, the staff, shall feel highly repaid for our efforts. In perpetuLim. frater, a e atque vale!” X ' lNCENT R. Collins Work and Win Our class motto. Work and Win,” is an excellent one to remember and to try to live up to. not onl ' through our school years, but all through life. Nothing in this world is ever won, nor are any goals ever gained without work. Throughout our school-ilays we have labored for an ideal — graduation! Now it is won, and another should be chosen and worked for until it also is obtained. The rewards of work are well worth the time and efforts spent to procure them. If we are tempted to achiex’e our ambi- tion in other ways, we must not ’ield. W ' e shall be prouder of our prize if we have stri ’en for it. The glory of work is that no matter how high upon the ladder of success we climb, we can always find opportunities to go higher. Sometimes the future may look dark and full of trouble, but continue working and the sun will soon shine through just as brightly as e er. Too many times a little hard work is evaded; then failure is almost certain. Classmates, do not shirk! For success, keep constantly in mind our motto, Work and Win”. ’ivL N Cook, ’37 1 r (p (T n Page Four Our Future I ' it ' ty out of our graduating class will go to some other schools, col- leges, and uni ersities; about thirty more of us have really well-formed plans for what we are to do after graduation. Ifut what about the others? b ' or them there are two choices: to begin now to make plans and to wt)rk to realize those plans, or to flow onward with no purpose in mind; to pick up aiiN’thing that presents itself and to drop it when it becomes burden- some. Is yours going to be one of those names which, when your former comrades glance through this record, will be skipped with a passing glance and the thought that you haven’t amounted to anything ' el ? Or will you be one whose friends are proud to say that they knew ' Ou in high school ? Between these two levels is the place where the majority will fall. Let each one of us do his honest best to be above the average, and our class, the Class of 1937, will set an example for every subsequent graduat- ing class to emulate. Rich.xrd 11. Bridge, ’37 Work and Win ' Back in our junior year, during a class meeting, why did we vote overwhelmingly for the motto “Work and W ' in ? The thought foremost in our minds was to choose a phrase that was short, snapp g and simple, yet one which would express our objective in such a way that we could easily remember it. In this we succeeded. But there is something more to a motto than the remembrance of it — a fact which most of us have over- looked. That is, obc ioLisly, its meaning. Word hv word, let us analyze “W ork and Win . “W ' ork” means simply to labor, either mentally or physically; “and” implies that there is more expressed in our objective than mere toiling; and the key is “Win”. The result of our work is what we must never lose sight of. As we have expressed in our motto, may it always be to “win’’ o er e ery obstacle we meet. Rich. rd II.

J I J I, The Wakefield High School Band The Senior Band, under the able guidance of its director, Mr. Fanck, has had an unusually busy season. With “Bob” MacKenna as drum major, it marched at most of the football games last fall, and successfully presented two public concerts instead of one. The members of the band are greatly indebted to Mr. Robert MacKenna, Sr., for his assistance in drilling; to Leroy Rendall and Robert King for their help in training the beginners, and to Benjamin Falabella, our efficient manager. f 1 J J 1 r 1 Page Sixty-seven Page Sixty-eight Boys ' Glee Club President: Ernest Lobacz Vice-President : Lauren Clough Secretary: Richard Bridge ' Preasurer: Paul Salipante Allhough the Senior section of the Boys’ Glee Club is smaller this year than it has been in former years, it has retained the same high standard and is looking forward with enthusiasm to its concluding recital on May 7. This year the performance will be held in conjunction with the Girls’ Glee Club, but it will be held separately from that of the band. Because of the double-session plan of the high school, there have been two rehearsals each week — one for the upper classmen, and one for the freshmen. The total enrollment has been sixty-three. During the year, the Glee Club joined the Girls’ Glee Club in re- hearsing each Friday morning; and an excellent Christmas program was given by the combined groups. Later in the year, the boys were guest performers for the Boston Seaman’s Friend Society in Boston. The Club is indebted to Mr. Arthur Fulton for any success it has enjoyed this past season. His valuable assistance is greatly appreciated by the boys. This marks the tenth anniversary of the formation of the Glee Club, and a reunion of all the former members was held April 16, 19 7. Page Seventy Girls Glee Club Last fall a group of about sexenty girls, under the capable direction of Miss Vivian Dix, organized in the worthwhile attempt to retain the admirable reputation of last year ' s club. Officers were at once elected as follows : President: V ' ivian Cook Vice-President : Marjorie Wells Secretary: Barbara Fwitchell Librarians: Dorothy Davis, Martha Greenleaf Pianist: Edna Allen The group has had a successful year — one which would have been im- possible had it not been for the patience and untiring efforts of Miss Dix. The list of activities comprises a Christmas assembly given in co-operation with the Boys’ Glee Club, a program presented at a meeting of the Kosmos Club, and the Spring Concert in conjunction with the boys. Special soloists are Louise Mosher and Arlena Wall, seniors; Holly Cobb and Marjorie Wells, juniors. The Glee Club year will be completed by the annual banquet in May, at which festival the members of the Wakefield School Committee will he guests. HI-Y CLIB OFFICERS Left to right; L. Ballou. H.

Regular weekly meetings were held in the V. M. C. A. Hall, where speakers representing different professions, and moving pic- tures, provided educational entertainment. Some of the most noteworthy activities in the year were the selling of candy at football games; a football dance held in the High School during the football season; the annual Christmas Dance, which was con- ducted with great success at the Bear Mill Golf Club; a joint meeting with the Inter Nos Club; a father-and-sons’ night, and the “lli- ' Hop” in the V. M. C. A. At Christmas time the club sponsored the collecting of gifts to be given to the Town Welfare Department for distribution. The HI- ' SPECT.ATOR was issued every Friday. Thus, with plenty of activities, the Hi- ' t ' Club has tried to live up to its purpose; “To create, maintain, and extend, throughout the school and community, higher standards of Christian character”.

In November, the officers interpreted the beautiful ceremonial to a large group of candidates for membership to the Inter .Nos Club. The Junior Director had charge of the December meeting, and .several reels of moving pictures were shown. I his program was repeated on the next afternoon for the entertainment of the women at the Elizabeth F. Boit I lome. Our januar_ ' meeting was in the form of a Fop Concert and dance, and the members of the 1 li- ' t’ Club were our guests. In February, a ery amusing pla ’, I he .Modern Sewing Circle”, was presented by members of the sophomore class, supervised by the Sophomore Directors. .At our .March meeting, we were fortunate to have as our speaker Reverend Ralph J. Bert hoi f, pastor of the First Baptist Church. In .April the annual Tea Dance was held, and proved a source of enjovment. Our mothers were our guests at the .May meeting, and we performed our impressive cere- monial for them. In May we held our annual business meeting for reports and for election of officers, and thus ended another vear for the Inter Nos Club. Page Seventy-four Page Seventy-five The Football Team Although small in size and lacking experience, the Wakefield Nigh School Team of 19 6 proved itself to be a giant in courage. Under the able guidance of William D. Healey, it made an impressive record and gained the honor of being one of the best teams yet to wear the red and white. The team won five games, tied two, and lost two. . fter losing its first game to a much heavier Malden team, it defeated .Amesbury, tied Woburn, and defeated Watertown. The game with Worcester ended in a tie, hut the team came back to win from Winthrop. The team then bowed in defeat to its arch enemy, Melrose, conc]uered Reading, and ended the season with a win over a much heavier aggregation from Cambridge Latin.

Shellenberger developed a team which was feared by all opponents toward the end of the season. A referee who saw the fine play both at the beginning and end of the season said that it was the greatest impro ement in a team in a single season that he had ever seen. The first team broke even in the games, winning seven and losing seven for the season ' s record, d hey finished in a tie for fourth in the .Mystic Valley League. One of the peculiarities of the season was that Wakefield lost every Friday evening game but one, the last; while the team won every game played on Wednesday. This certainly is some sort of record. fhe only letterman from last year’s squad was Fred” DeFelice, who was high scorer for the squad this year. The other members of the first team were Flowell Atwell, Louis Climo, Vincent Collins, Robert Doucette, John Guttadauro, Ldward Habermann, and Wdlliam .Meuse.

Our runners won all their dual meets but one, a close race with the Northeastern Lhriversity Freshmen. The team usually has an outstanding runner to bring glory to our school. This year our great asset was John CTirley, whose persistence and capability won for him every dual meet except the one with Brockton; he also placed first in the five- cornered meet at Wakefield. Our foremost runners in order of their scoring ability are John Curley, James Guttadauro, William Kimball, Captain Harold Bennett, William Thompson, and Roger Burke, .Alvin Beyea of the track team also deser es credit, for he assisted us in two of our most important and most difficult races, finishing fifth against Woburn and third in the five-cornered meet.

On that first eventful dav, we gatliered in the auditorium for the necessary instructions, and after we had been told about the rules of the school and the various studies we were about to pursue, we “took otl . as would he said in airplane par- lance, on the initial stage of our four-year high school career. During the first week of school, many of our classmates became lost and confused in the ariotis assignments of rooms and classes, but after the first few trying weeks, things began to run more smoothly, and we began to participate in the various activities of the school. I ' he breshman boys entered whole-heartedly into athletics, bhe loyal support of the football team, even when defeated, proved the e.xcellent school spirit of the breshman student body. Some of the breshmen who survived the first cut, and. eventually reached the N ' arsity Team were bred Deb ' elice, Robert Sparks, Nowell Atwell, William Frepsas, Lewis Ruggles, .Ah ' in Beyea. William .Meuse, Donald Berube and Daniel Luciano. Cioach Shellenberger received an o erwhelming response to his call for breshman basketball players, and it was at this time that “Bill” Frepsas and “llowie ' ' Atwell began their starring careers. During the winter season, a hockey team was organized direction of Mr, Murray, a member of the faculty. On Friday, November 10, 19 3 3, a school paper called the “lli- ' t ' Spectator”. It was issued by the er - talented staff. Da id 1 lodgdon was b ' reshman One of the famous e ents of our breshman year was a Cdiristmas gift donated by the office, whereby all disciplinary hours were cancelled so that we might begin the New ' ear with a clean slate. Because of the remarkable success of an upper-class popularity con- test, a similar contest was provided for the Freshmen. Bud” Beyea, the boy winner, was a very active member of practicallv’ all of the athletic teams and he won the contest bv a large majority. Dorothy Anderson, the girl winner, more than tripled the vote of her nearest competitor. The last athletic event of importance, to our youthful minds, was the victory of the Freshman Frack Feam over the Sophomore Track Team by a score of 44-24. Finally June arrived and with ' it came the anticipation of leisure hours for some of us, work for others, and heedful thought for the future and the forthcoming years for all of us. 11.

Helen Lombard was elected Vice-President, and as our Secretary we chose Rosemarie Batty. Ernest Lobacz was re-elected Treasurer. The football season brought the usual interest in sports. ' The team had co-captains as leaders, a novelty for our school. ' 1 hey were James 1 lurton and Ered DePelice who were very capable in their positions. There was an unusual number of lettermen, all of whom can be com- mended for the fine task done in giving Wakefield a successful team. .As winter approached, the basketball team got under way, with Ered DeP ' elice, its star and captain, leading the team to its best record in three years. .A decision was made to drop baseball as an interscholastic sport. Baseball this year will be centered in akefield and there will be inter- class teams. The champion team will probably play outside schools. On December 4, 1936, our Senior Play, Growing Pains”, was pre- sented. It was a three-act comedv of modern ' outh by .Aurania Rouver- nol, and was directed by .Mrs. Boothb)-, a former W. 11.

I lowever, belore we depart, allow me, as a representative of the graduating class, to extend our appreciation to ' ou who ha e labored s j diligently to educate us as more uselul citizens, and to welcome you to our commence- ment exercises. This evening my colleagues and I honor ! lorace Mann, who one hundred }’ears ago subordinated himself in order to provide more adequate educational facilities for Massachusetts school children. Idle program has been arranged in the form of a modified panel discus- sion, bearing as its theme, Hducating for Democracy”. As the first speaker, it is my pri ilege to answer the question, ' A hat were the contri- butions of Horace Mann to education P” I he second speaker, Mr. Paul Salipante, will discuss the changing standard of secondary education today; and in conclusion. .Mr. Richard Bridge will dex’elop his personal point of view on education as a means of improving our democracy. 1 he year 1796 saw the dawn of a new era in American history, for the thirteen heretofore separate colonies were commencing a new existence as thirteen united states. In the excitement of a period of reconstruction, man} ' practices were either subordinated or neglected; among these cases the need for education was foremost, d ' o rex’ive the intellectual spirit, a man with force, vigor, and the conviction of his ideals was required; the small newly-founded town of Franklin, Massachusetts gave us the very person in the form of Horace Mann. As a boy, Horace aided his father on the farm, or attended school as often as possible — usuallv a few weeks of the entire year. Discontented with the atmosphere of poverty and ignorance that surrounded him, and fired with an unquenchable desire for knowledge, he read and re-read the entire stock of books donated to the town by Benjamin Franklin. At this point in his life, being impressed by the weaknesses of the school system, he x ' owed to devote his life in unremitting warfare against the schools he attended as a youth. Fortunately he met an itinerant school teacher who prepared the willing pupil for Brown University in six months; and three years later 1 lorace .Mann was graduated at the head of his class. Upon leax ' ing the Unixersity, he xvent to Dedham, xvhere, as a successful laxx ' }’er, he soon secured a prosperous clientele. So great xvas his success that the x ' oters of Dedham sent .Mann to the state legislature, and indeed he soon rose to occupy the presidential chair of the state senate. In his capacit} ' as a member of the senate he had many opportunities to x ' iexv the faults of the common school system: therefore I lorace .Mann and a group of member representatixes framed and passed a bill establishing the .Massachusetts State Board of Education. The success or the failure of the entire measure hinged, hoxxever, upon the man appointed to the secretar} ' ship of the nexv committee, .Noxv the question arose as to xvho could and xvould fill the position. I lorace Mann, very influential and Page (Jne hundred one J J ! J J I, J I, d J ! J J J I, J (L J J J J J I, J I, J filial with tiesirc to heller the educational lacilities, resigned as president of the senate and accepted the thankless task as secretary of the first boarrl of education. W ith his acceptance came a flood of tlifiiculties: first, his salary was drasticall - reduced; second, his working dav was lengthened to twehe ami fifteen hours; third, by far the worst, ewer}’ impediment had to be over- come b - the sheer force of his personalit} ' , since the law lackerl even the tiniest eslige of power. 1-or twehe ears he struggled against ill health, bigotry, and prejudice; no task was too menial; no question relative to schools w as too minute. I le em[iloyed all his energ ’ toward the upbuild- ing of an educational organization; he incorporated into his general scheme manv childhood ideas, i ' wo glaring faults first recei ed the brunt of his attention; namelv, the unsanilar - schools and the untrained teachers. The following were the most important reforms that he tried to bring about ; 1. I lis hatred for the district school s stem inspired him to work diligenti} ' for a town unit s ' stem. 2. I le realized that the unfitness of the poorl}’ trained instructors had a decidedl - detrimental effect upon each and e er - pupil. 3. C2onscious of the shortness of the school vear, he fought strenu- oLisl ’ to lengthen it. 4. Since the majorit ' of the school buildings were but poor impro e- ments o er the first buildings erected b ’ the Pilgrim Forefathers, we do not wonder that he should seek appropriations for building and rebuilding schoolhoLises. T W ith the disorganized coiiiliticjn of the schools we should expect to find a conglomeration of hooks. Indeed this was the case; since the pupil purchased all his materials, one could hard} ' expect any uniformity. t). Like most men of his daw .Mann early realized the beneficial and educational factor of a libraiw’; and like most other influential men he endea ored to arouse SLifFicient interest in libraries to cause them to become indispensable aids in .American education. .At first it seems that 1 lorace .Mann was either a fool or a dreamer to attempt the aforementioned reforms with the limited facilities at his command. .Mann ' s was not the job to issue orders instructing others to do this task or that task; he himself went before the person best fitted to ser e his purpose and begged and cajoled him until he won his point. 1 le possessed. howe er, two weapons far mightier than an - law, the abilitv to write and the power to persuade people with his eloquence. Knowing that the citizens of this state were blind to the uselessness of the district schools, he went to Lurope, studied the foreign s ' Stem. and came back to this coLintiw’ with his se enth annual report. Like the pre ious reports the se enth told what the e ils in European schools were and how the_ ' were remedied. W ith the material in his reports as a basis, he attacked, remo - ed countless outmoded laws, and replaced them with measures calculated to fulfill his ideals. .As it was impossible for teachers to lea ' e their class- rooms to obtain a much-needed training, Horace .Mann made an intensive stud - into their situation t(r determine some courses of procedure. Two things were a direct outcome of his research, one permanent and the other helpful hut temporary; First, through his Herculean efforts the first Massachusetts normal school was established for the purpose of training Page One hundred two J (L J (L J (L J I, J (L J I, J (L J J J (L J (L J (L J teachers: and second, he traveled far ami wide in this state lecturing to audiences princiivdl} ' composed of educators, lirietly stated, he was an itinerant instructor — auditoriums were his classrooms, aiul teachers were his pupils. To gi e the teachers ample time to C(� mplete their courses of study, he brought about a lengthening of the school year. Once started on the right path, the state legislature has continueil to increase the duration of the student’s school life until today he must attend classes up to his six- teenth year. 1 land in hand with the demand for trained teachers was the need for clean, sanitary school buildings — ‘‘temples of science , as he deemed them. .Mann was particularly interested in proxiding better schools for the small towns, some of whose structures were no more than barns or sheds. So indefatigable was he in his self-appointed labor that he was in- strumental in causing an expenditure of one million dollars for new schools. In adilition to the ill-kept temples of science”, Horace Mann dis- cox ' ered that in purchasing their own school supplies, the pupi ls possessed no two books alike. Thus the secretarx ' of the first .Massachusetts Board of Education performed another noble task: namely, that of bringing order out of chaos. In fact the tendencx ' today is to use books and supplies pur- chased and lent by the state to each pupil. . ' n interesting sidelight is the fact that in the short reign of Horace .Mann, he augmented the number of xx ' omen teachers fifty-four per cent. W ith the increased salary, teachers, for the first time, could devote them- selxes to their pupils instead of rel} ' ing upon additional occupations to purchase the necessities of life. Having accomplished the tasks to his oxvn taste, Horace Mann xvas succeeded by Barnes Sears, xvho added a fexv touches to the work started and completed by the first secretary ' . And yet the great liberator was not content to rest upon his laurels: for as a senator, he represented his state in our Thus in brief haxe xxe a summary of the life and accomplishments of a great man. W ' e should all feel grateful to any man xvho xvould deny himself the glories and honors that he deserves. .Mann, hoxvever, spurned contemporary rexvards and stroxe, not to better his lot, not to improve so much the condition of the pupils of his day, but to reform the common school in such a manner as to educate the children of the future for lix ing m a great democrac} ' . The folloxving theory as expressed by 1 lorace .Mann will explain more clearly than a thousand volumes the spirit and the ideals that perx’aded the being of .Massachusetts’ greatest liberator: ’riie object of the common school is to give to every child a free, straight, solid pathxvay, by xvhich he can xvalk directly up from the ig- norance of an infant to a knoxxledge of the primary duties of a man.” . lthoLigh physically 1 lorace iMann is dead, his spirit has inlluenced education not only in his native state, but also in the entire United States. .Many seeds planted and cultixated bv him haxe bloomed and borne fruit. Therefore, there can he but one ansxver to my question, W ' hat xvere the contributions of Horace .Mann to education?”: Horace Mann gax ' e to the xvorld the basis of a great public school system and definitely focused attention upon the idea of education as a means to a better democracy. Congress and later became president of .Antioch College, Ohio, one of outstanding educational institutions. r ' I r 1 ) J I, J J (L J J (L J (L J J J 1 Page One hundred three 1 J J J I, J !

I UL Salipantl, llouur Pupil When llorace Mann tlccidci.1 lo devote his life to the impro ement of eeonilar)’ education, he became a proponent of a much discussed and im- jiortant subject. , s ou liave been shown, in Mann ' s day, a thorough iiigh school education was unheartl of. Such education merely furnished one with a foundation for either religious or educational training. 1 here was a sad neeil for organization, and Mann sacrificed his professional career to rented}’ the situation. Shortly after the death of I lorace Mann, there was a remarkable, new treiul toward better secondar}’ education, brom 1821 when the first high school was founded in the United States, until 1905, there were only ten per cent of the country’s chikiren in secondary schools; lotlay, we find more than half the } ' outh of the country enrolled, (a)mparativel}’ speak- ing, this is an amazing increase. By its rapid expansion the public school o greatly overshadowed the enrollment in [irivate schools, that the latter lost practically all their influence. Thus one of 1 lorace .Mann’s ideals has been realized: that of ha ing free, public education. One of the phases of education that .Mann was interested in improv- ing was teaching ccjnditions. 1 he nineteenth centur ' found the greater percentage of teachers to be men who were using teaching onl}’ as a step- ping-stone to a more lucrative position. Secondarv school teaching was consitlered temporary emplo} ment. One of the important reasons for this condition was the low salarv given to educators, in some small towns, the encouragement to teachers was so iioor that high school graduates had to be employed as teachers, since no more full}’ educated persons applied for the position. I ' oday, this condition has been remedied, W ' ith the states sponsoring public schools, higher pay is ofTered teachers, better educated candidates appl}’, and as a result, the most capable can be chosen. .Moreover, the capabilities of the teacher undergo a severe testing before he or she is hired. It is necessar}’ for him to he graduated from an accepted college of high standing. Furthermore, the applicant must have evidence of practical teaching experience, even if the work onl}’ comprises substituting. .Again, the teachers of toda ’ u.se an entirely different method of edu- cating students. In the earl}’ nineteenth centur}’, a teacher was essentially a drillmaster or disciplinarian. 1 lis chief task was to get the students to learn facts from their textbooks. ( ften, his method of teaching was em- phasized b}’ force, a means practicall}’ unknown toda}’. From 1860-1900, the teacher became more human, but was still only an instructor with a main idea of drilling facts into a pupil’s mind. Toda}’, psN’chologv is used to assist the students in learning their lessons. ' Fhe modern teacher tells the pupils wh}’ the}’ are learning this or that subject and how it will help them in later life. In this wa ’, the instructor has more willing pupils, and the latter do independent thinking. This advance in the stand.ard of teaching has been in keeping with the expansion of the high school. Whereas, formerly, a high school educa- tion was considered a great prixilege, it is seldom that a ’outh is not graduated from one. toda}’. I he reason for this expansion is ob ’ious: the Page One hundred four J (L J J (L J J (L J J (L J J I, J J J I, J (L J I, J (L J LonijileNily of American civili alion ha made necessary a broader educa- tion. and one whicli all could enjo) ' . .Another factor has been that children do not necessaril)’ have to aid the family financially. Naturally, they have suflicienl spare time to attend a secondary school. W ith this rapid advancement came the change in curricular and teaching methods, discipline and school buildings that I lorace .Mann had fought ft)! ' , rile high school ' s aim no longer was to prepare a few men to go into religion or a special profession, but to educate the multitude. b ' or the first time, practical subjects were taught. In addition to modern history and civics, science, health subjects, and music, vocational and special education was introduced. The development of industrial civilization brought about a demand for skilled workmen, not apprentices but educated workers, for science has won over hit-or-miss work. d’oday, the trend is to separate the courses into individual schools, each unit specializing in one type of education. I hese classes are the trade, the vocational, the classical, the technical, the general, and the com- mercial groups. Besides practical arts courses in high schools, the professional or special schools educate a boy for a craft. The product of the trade school is a high standard of today ' s vouth, and with the rise of industrial- ism, this school bids fair to increase rapidly in proportion to the ordinary kind of high school. W ith the increase in the number of secondary schools, new plans are constantly being brought forward. Evening schools have been founded to help the working class. Summer schools, which not only help the re- tarded pupils, but which also give advanced courses, have been established. An innovation at present is the all-year high school. In addition, various cities have tested plans of their own. Dalton, ■Massachusetts, has devised a plan whereby students work by projects; that is, they sign a study contract and are marked according to how much practical work they complete. I his plan arouses the pupil ' s personal in- terest in the high school. (.)ther plans, such as that of St. Louis, tend to teach the students indi ' idually, a way recognized by authorities as the most valuable. llorace Mann was interested in improving high-school conditions. I ' oday, partly as a result of his earnest efforts, we have schools of which we are proud, d ' he school librarv ' is now essential, but a few years ago it was an extraordinar}’ high school that had such a facility. The worth of a librai ' }’ replete with good hooks is inestimable in educating the youth of this country. Science, in its rapid progress in high schools, has made laboratories necessary. Chemistry and physics are essential parts of the high school curriculum, and a good foundation is given the scientifically minded students. 1 lealth conditions ha ' e also been improved. Lighting is much better in public schools than in most homes. There are lunchrooms to supply nourishment for the student during the time between his regular meals. ■Another way in which the high school promotes health is by encouraging participation in sports, and by pro iding gymnasiums capable of develop- ing the human body. .Mann showed his viewpoint on this subject when he wrote: Ihe develo]-)ment of the powers of the botly is important. r 1 ‘i) r r 1 r r 1 r 1 Page One hundred five J J J (L J I, J J I, J ! J I, J J I, J I, J I, J I, J I, J J !

The Progressive School .Mosement has brought new ilepartments to be tilled in the school statT. There is the psvchiatrist, a newcomer to edu- cation, but one who proved his worth in short order. There is also the [iSN ' chologist. who uses his reasoning to treat the students as best fits each one’s case. I here are cocational ad isers, teacher-coaches, and whatnot. And yet, with all these impros ' ements, the modern high schools have a long way to go before thev achie ' e the ideal. There are a few defects that must be corrected. Will the high school of tomorrow remedy them? The one of major importance is that in the present svstem, all stu- dents are considered fumlamentallv of ecpial intelligence. Brilliant pupils are neglected to a great extent. .Much is done for the retarded [nipil, but little for the most intelligent. Now can . merica progress when the leaders of tomorrow are not gi en some attention? .Another defect is that students are frec]uently not gi en work that encourages independent thinking. Pupils are still o er-emphasizing }]u’}}iory and not the me of facts in the student instead of individualism. The final important defect is that for almost three months in the Summer youth is gi en a acation from thinking. Is it logical that we should neglect education, altogether, for anv lengthv period? For a month after the return to school in the fall, pupils waste their time in getting ac- climated to studving again. N ' acations of a week at shorter inter als would be much more acceptable. Still, the secondar ’ school s ' stem has made remarkable headway since the turn of this countrw and the intluence of 1 lorace Mann cannot be overlooked. W’e ha ' e accepted all his important ideals. Toda -, we have a free, unixersal. public schooF-.Mann’s objective. .Moreover, we ha e a more intelligent and better t pe of teacher; a more sanitary ami complete high school; a more extensixe curriculum ; schools that specialize in practical training; schools that, to a certain extent, encourage individ- Lialism; and unix’ersal extra-curricula actixdties that are beneficial to the student socially. ' Therefore, can we not truthfullx ' sa - that modern high schools are fullilline; Horace .Mann ' s standards oi ' education?

Ricti.xRD Brid( ' .e, ' alediciorian chief aim of education in .America is to make all men capable of directing a democratic goxernment. I lorace .Mann, as mv colleagues have shown you, recognized this aim. aiul succeeded by diligent efforts in rais- !T I r r r (T t 1 r t Paae One hundred six (L J I, J (L J I, J J J I, J J (L J J J J I, J J (L J J J I ing the general standard of education in Massachusetts, and, by the ex- ample ol Massachusetts, in the rest of the country. Lk-tween his time and now, further progress has raised the axerage education of the American people. What 1 wish to suggest in this eassay are plans and possibilities for a democratic education of the future. hirst the goal or Utopia toward which we are directing our elTorts must be established. Schools ha ' e three possible primary aims: There is educa- tion concerned with the selection and the training of young men and women for positions which require a high level of mental capacity; there IS education concerneil with training for a more cultural life; and there IS education concerned with preparing men for vocations. hire first is training for intellectual leadership; the second, for citizenship, and the last, for merely a means of livelihood. I low best to combine these three types is our object in educating for a democracy. In addition, there are minor points which plans for a future democrat- ic educational system will consider. Uducation must be able to modify its form and content so that it can assume new functions to replace pro- cedures which no longer have social sanction. Often the great fault of in- tellectual revolution is that after it has succeeded in eliminating the inert ideas which preceded it, it proceeds to bind humanity again with its own enervating ideas. .And, as a last requirement, education must be free. In the words of Morace Mann, Education should be free, and its aim should be character”. Schools of the future should not be influenced by the plans of self-seeking agencies; for when they are, true, impartial education is superseded by propaganda. I hus we have sex’eral problems for schools of tomorrow to face; the combining of liberal, ocational. and specialized education, flexibility in the system, and freedom from minority groups. In considering a solution to these problems let us first look at several progressive ideas in practice now, with emphasis upon present trends in universities. .At Fairhope, Alabama, is an experimental grammar school. The founder, a Mrs. Johnson, believes in educating children in what interests them as children. Instead of forcing a strict classroom cur riculum upon a child first entering school, she allows young children to act just as they have done at home, shifting when they want to, to any interesting occupation. Following this path of natural growth, the child is led into reading, writing, arithmetic, geography, and so on, by his own desire to know. At eight or nine years, the director finds that children instinctively want to learn to read. She discovers that with no urging, they engage in physical exercise, nature study, music, handwork, field geograph}-, and like subjects in their first -ear; therefore they get a real education in useful, if not academic, subjects by walking in the woods and fields, and using their hands. They progress in a similar manner through high school without pressure, re- wards. or examination. Ifntirel} ' different from anything 1 have mentioned is a plan of ele- mentary teaching which sounds x ' ery well in theory, but, 1 believe, has never been seriously tried in practice. The theorv is that of teaching a single subject for the period of }-ears when the student is most suited for the subject; then combining specialized work in that field with elementary work in another. For example, the child is first taught fundamentals of r r r 1 Page One hundred seven ' Qi:i ,CP ' Q CP ' Q= sCP ' QscCP ' Q=5 Q== s(P Q (p= Q (5= Q:= (p Q= = Q= © aril limrlic, ami his first course is in writing aiul spelling; then when he has luul a lull training in writing and sjrelling, he begins mastering language, lie s|K‘ciali ,es in language while he has elementary work in science; then he concentrates on science. In this scheme, the iLinction of the uni ersit) ' is to generali ,e and coordinate all the facts learned in grammar and high schools. Too many schools of today virtuall)’ force a student to choose some major professional subject without pro iding ample e [ierience in different l)’pes of work from which to choose. . idan is in operation in the high school ol Amherst, .Massachusetts, which seems a good method of allaying this diflicultv. . mherst has an industrial arts course which is taught as a lit substitute for the old classical slamlb ' s. I ' he work is not centered in the shop developing manual skills, but regular classwork w ith te.xlbooks is emplo ' ed in learning the theories of the subjects, such as carirentering and electrical work, and occasional!}- trips are made to industrial plaiits of the city to learn practical applications. While these industrial arts courses are primarily cultural and a ' ocational. the}- of course result in being, for some, vocational guidance. Now let us consider the arious college experiments, . ntioch (College, m Ohio, was started on a firm basis by 1 lorace Mann in the last six } ' ears of his life, and I lorace Mann ' s ideas are .Xntioch ' s solution to current liroblems. Mann wanted to build an institutioii where men and women had an ei]ual opjiortunit}-, where color and creed made no tiitference, and where merit was the only standard for admittance. More than that, he planned, in the course of stud}-, to bring science up to its rightful propor- tions with the still essei-itial liberal arts subjects, and to teach physiolog}-; health was to be emphasi ed as a prerec|uisite of achievement, (lompeti- tion in stud}- anel the spirit of sectarianism in religion were abolished, and student go ernment in ethical c|uestions was instituted. .Ml these plans were fulfilled. Antioch (College has now, after its reorganization and experiment in 1 -)21, an outstaiwling plan of cooperatixe jobs. These jobs are regular positions outside the college, the town. ai-id e -en the state, in which the student works in five-week periods, alternatiiig with fixe xxeeks of regular school xx ' ork. The theorx- behind this sxstem is that there are defects of personalit}- to be righted, courage and patience to be developed, and an uiulerstanding of one’s felloxx ' xvorkmen to be achiexed which can best be done through actual experience with felloxx’ xx-orking men. More important is the acejuisition of experience in professions and trades so that the school’s function of finding careers for _ -oung men can be pursued xx ' ith no chance of the student’s being disillusioned b}- onl}- classroom as- sociation xvith the subject. .Mxxax ' S more than half the students xx ho grad- uate from .Antioch continue xvith one of the firms xxith xxhom the} ' had co- operatixe association during their school careers, aiul nexer fexver than ninet} ' per cent find satisfactorx’ xx’ork after graduation; therefore, the problem of xocational guidance seems to be solxed. But xx ' hat about , ntioch’s academic rating and that of other liberal arts schools? .According to tests given for the past four x’ears by the .American Ciouncil on bducation, the axerage achiexed bx ' .Antioch students is consistently higher than the general college axerage; in fact, .Antioch xx ' as LiSLiallv in the highest tenth of the group. Such data prox-es that the general education sufTers none from co-operatixe jobs and consec]uent les- sening of time in the classroom. 1 I r r r 1 t t 1 r r 1 f l ige ( )ne hundred eight 1 lorace Mann came to establiili a college devoted to the cause of uni- ersal education. Hducation in all of its aspects was to have an imme- diate relationship to its [iractical social value . In a democracy freeelom can come onl)’ through the enlightenment of mankind, and is useful onl ' when directed to the service of humanity through education. Antioch Ciollege todav stands not onl_ ' as a memorial to 1 lorace Mann, but also as an incentic ' e to a more democratic concept of education. President 1 lutchins, of the L ' ni ' ersity of Chicago, began in 19.M an interesting experiment, lie changed his uni ' ersity into a combination of junior college and senior college. The junior college is identical and com- pulsory for all the students. The curriculum includes art, literature, and the sciences. In the senior college the dixdsions include humanities, social sciences, ph} ' sical sciences, and biological sciences. I ' he students do the work of college and graduate school and are graduated with masters’ or doctors’ degrees. The outstanding innovation is that no definite period of time is specified for attendance at the college. The student may finish the complete course within such time as his ability permits. Rollins College, in 1 lorida, has dex’eloped a similar but still more rad- ical experiment. Degrees are awarded no longer in terms of course, grades, hours, points, or terms of residence, but depend upon the accjuisition of a specified broad fundamental training and mastery in a field of specializa- tion. Pew, if any, classes are conducted. The instructors act mostl ' as tutors. Emphasis upon indixidual capacity and character is most important. In formulating a plan for a new educational system closely correlated with the changing social order, there are many minor questions which must be decided, such as the place of classics. James B. Conant, Presi- dent of Harx ' ard. says that Greek, as a real test of intellectual power, is a wise choice for a subject in which to major. 1 le asserts that stiff courses m difficult subjects turn out intellectually fit men: that in a well-balanced community with proper arrangements for social life among the students, the liberal element is supplied indirectly. ' Phe courses are employed as standards for selecting the chosen few to carrv on with higher education. But to me an opposing idea seems more rational. During the process of selecting by means of stiff classical subjects, what does the student gain? Couldn ' t the selective process be carried on just as successfully with a diffi- cult course in higher mathematics, for example. Mathematics certainly has more hearing on modern life than the few works in Greek that can be read by a student who will never master enough Greek to read it for pleasure. .My contention is that the ideal higher education most needed in our present social system is one that combines the classical culture with the professional or vocation field of special interest to the student. It would seem that Antioch with its dual interest in the classics and the acquirement of practical training to fit for the business of living in a constantly chang- ing democracy holds the kev to the solution. Or, as the great educator challenges us: If we believe in our individual capacity for indefinite improvement, why should we doubt the capacity of the race for continued progress, as long as it dwells upon the earth?’’ In other words, before we can reach l age One hundred nine J !
