THE UQUSTINIAN 1935 IlllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllll I Ill Superintendent P gc tcn S. T. NEVEl.N nnlnlinmnunninunmnunumnnn tnnnnnmnnn This year We observe the three hundredth anni- versary of the founding of high schools in America. The American people have certain deepseated aspirations relative to secondary schools. First of these is the custody of their children as they develop into manhood and Womanhood. With economic conditions today barring young people from em- ployment and giving a consequent freedom of activi- ty, the high school must assume a responsibility for character building. Secondly, parents rightly feel that the secondary school must be modified so as to fit young people more definitely to take up some useful occupation. Also, in the classroom of America, hundreds of im- portant and controversial questions in economics, sociology, and politics must be presented and analyzed. -S. T. Neveln
