Love of the Beautiful Mr. M. Burr Mann Superintendent THE SYMBOLISM OF SEVEN Recorded history suggests that the number seven has always possessed a symbolic significance. We are all familiar with such common uses as the seven days of the week. the seven won- ders of the world, and year. the sabbatical The Bible refers to the seven sacrificial animals, the seven golden candlesticks, the seven churches. Seven priests with seven trumpets marched around Jericho for seven days and seven times on the seventh day. Oriental legend has its seven wise masters and its Seven Sleepers of Ephesus. Greece had its seven wise men and the Middle Ages their seven liberal arts. Education, too,has its significant number seven. Mr. Mann has given us seven teaching objectives: health, safety, good oral English, home making, and love of the beautiful. Secondary education throughout the country is aiming to achieve seven similar aims: command of the three R’s, health , citizenship, a worthy vocation, worthy home membership, proper use of leisure, and ethical character. To the degree to which our pupils will assimilate the work prompted by these objectives, to that degree will they enjoy happy and useful lives. G £ William Wordsworth wrote; My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was It wher. r.iy life began; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old. Or let me die!” Walt Whitman re-echoes: To me the sea is a continual miracle, The fishes that swim - the rocks -the motion of the waves -the ships with men in them. What stranger miracles are there? My sincere commiseration to you who car. never hold communion with the Pixies of Fairyland. Mr. Clarence E. Boyer Principal
