s t PRI IP Us MESSAGE The Galleon ll0l sf '-25-19 At a time when education is being revalued, and when all of the extras and unnecessaries are being closely examined with the view to elimination, it mag be well to stop and ask our- selves whether our curriculum is keeping step with modern progress and enabling its students to meet the conditions of the changing world. There seem to be some indications of a swing from the over-emphasized theory that the greater part of the students in the high school must be trained rather dell- nitely in some particular vocational phase. With the realization at the present time that that particular vocation in which the student is trained may have become obsolete within live years. comes the present more proper emphasis on character educa- tion: pupil's adaptation to his surroundings, his school, his fellows. his studies: his preparation to adapt or integrate him- self with his environment in the world later on. At Balboa. these demands have been ll cons:-ious part of our curriculnm,- the attention to mastery of subject matter. whether vocational or purely arademie. has gone hand in hand with the adaptation to the sorial environment. The presenting of life conditions. the training for leadership, and general so- cializing of the program. especially as seen in our Home Room periods, is making a dilference in the sehool. As we are getting our. school activities in more effective form, we bid farewell to our first four-year graduating class. I have come in very close toueh with this class through teaching Latin to some of its members our first term together. I know that in this flue group of graduates there are many students of whom Balboa is going to be proud. R. H. CHASE
