G. W. KIRN Principal Abraham Lincoln High School No just estimate can be made of Principal Kirn's educational program that does not take into account his whole educational philosophy. Tl His program is spread upon a wide canvass, his philosophy of education is highly selec- tive, his ideology is democratic. He senses the difference between a text book education and basic culture. Consequently, he strives for a program that releases the mind of the student to the future without any severance from the best of the past. The net result is an understanding of the pres- sent. 1l Principal Kirn is one of the most understanding high school educators in the Middle West. The imprint of his broad educational pattern is upon most ofthe graduates of the Abraham Lincoln High School. Their four years in an atmosphere of democratic ideals, of high ethical standards, of the best in the fine arts, and of character emphasis, in addition to thorough educa- tional instruction, send them forth well braced against the false and the superficial. -A Citizen of Council Bluffs. J. A. TRUE Superintendent Council Bluffs Schools The success of the school system depends largely on the attitude and ability of the head of the schools. 1l Superintendent True has guided the destiny of our school system through a trying time without injury to the standards estab- lished during good times. His attitude in the employment of only the best instructors and a careful program of instruction has co-ordinated the work in the schools of the district. Through the several years he has been with us he has tirelessly endeavored to improve our schools, both as to curriculum and the physical condition of the plant. -A Former Member of the Board of Education. 2: Page 10 ::
