First, it aims to give training in Health. Health needs of the individual are imperative and can not be neglected. Second, Command of Fundamental Processes. These should be more or less completely learned in the elementary school. Yet, there is still place for further train- ing. This is particularly true of our mother tongue. Third, Worthy Home Membership. The social studies, literature, music, art, and home arts, should all contribute to this. Fourth, Vocation. The high school is not organized to give strictly vocational training. In its commercial, home and manual arts. music, art, and academic de- partments it attempts to give pre-vocational training. An effective program of voca- tional-educational guidance is also under way. Fifth, Civic Responsibility. This includes a many-sided interest in the welfare of the community. the ability to think and act in terms of the interests of the larger group, and participation in community affairs. Sixth, Worthy Use of Leisure. This means more than listening to the radio or seeing the movies. It calls for the ability to make use of the common means of recreation, literature, art, drama, music, social intercourse, and neighborliness. Lastly, Ethical Character. This is of the greatest importance. It means honesty, decency, reliability, integrity. It means the development of the spirit of service above self. It means the true democcracy. It means the development of a sense of personal responsibility and initiative. It is infinitely more important than graduating with honors and letter awards. Priya vluwlz

The school he attends is the Great School of Life. Part of this schooling, in the narrower sense, is done in the elementary, the junior and senior high schools, the college. Appleton has eight elementary and three -junior high schools, one vocational and one senior high school, and Lawrence College. Our elementary schools give training necessary for all normal children in a democracy, regardless of sex, race, religion, economic status, or future vocations. The chief characteristic of this is that it seeks to integrate and unify all of our citizens by means of common knowledge and traditions, common ideals and aspirations, and a common tongue. Secondary education in Appleton is represented by her vocational, junior and senior high schools, and by part of the work conducted at Lawrence College. It seeks to continue those integrating and unifying elements begun in the elementary schools, so essential to all citizens at increasingly higher levels of activity. Secondly, especially in the junior, but also in the senior high school, we try to find out the interests, capacities, and aptitudes of pupils by means of subject-matter and life experiences in themselves worth-wrile. Lastly, we hope to broaden vision and create desires in our boys and girls by means of these contacts. Finally, Appleton offers its citizens some specialized training. A small part of this is begun at the senior high school, and is continued in the vocational school and at Lawrence college. Puyi' lvl! -Jn

The high school courses in Home Economics are planned with the purpose of providing for the development of appreciation and ideals concerning home life and its activities, as well as an opportunity for the acquisition of a degree of skill in handling typical home situations. The following courses are offered to juniors and seniors: I . Textiles and Clothing, 2. Advanced Clothing and Costume Design, 3. Meal planning and Food Preparation, 4. Advanced Foods and Nutrition, 5. Home Planning and Child Care. MAN UAL ARTS The aim of the Manual Arts is to allow the student to explore, and to open various doors of industrial pursuits in order to assist him in selecting his life work. It is the aim to accomplish this large task by making surveys of our local industries and by the use of moving pictures and lectures. The course is not theory only, since explorations are reinforced by actual ex- periences in these particular lines. The work has a definite value from the trade stand- point and through the student's experience he becomes a better consumer. Sophomores are offered Auto Mechanics and Mechanical Drawing, juniors Machine Shop and Mechanical Drawing, while the seniors are given their choice of work. Architectural Drawing and Advanced Cabinet Making are suggested as the regular senior course. Page m'r'l1'e
