FOREWORD Tis education forms the common mind. — Pope “When the one Great Scorer comes to judge the final game, He doesn’t judge whether you won or lost, but how you played the game.” A school functions as a team. Each of us connected with it is an individual and each of us works with other individuals to play the game and achieve the goal. Some¬ times we win; sometimes we lose; hut we remember that it is the playing of the game that counts. It is in the play¬ ing of the game that the members develop character and learn by instruction and experience and cooperation with others. 3
