Because ETHICAL CHARACTER is the essence of success in a democratic society, the individual should acquire this trait early in life. Realizing this, the secondary schools have fostered its development. Among the means for doing this may be mentioned the wise selection of content and methods of study, the making of social contacts, and pro- viding opportunities for the development of sense of personal reponsibility, initiative, spirit of service, and the principles of democracy. The senior must also be equipped to secure a livelihood for himself and those de- pendent on him. Education for VOCATION should also teach serving society through vocation, maintaining right relationships with fellow workers, and finding one's own best development in his chosen occupation. Guidance is given to students in choosing the field that will best answer these needs. The varied courses in high school offer preparation for many fields of endeavor. 11
