S PERI TE DE T AND BOARD The public schools of America have taught many generations the history and purposes of American democracy. Freedom to worship, to assemble, to be , informed - these rights seem more priceless when their existence is threatened. They are values to be defended now and saved for the future. Civil rights, health, recreation, spiritual development, and education itself must be maintained and expanded now as never before, Schools have a vital role to play in building under- standing and skills, in promoting national unity, in developing morale, and ultimately in preparing the American people to win the peace. Youth with its enthusiasm, ambitions, visions, and dreams of the past and the future projects that vital spark which makes for great victories and achieve- ments. Surely there must be a place for the expression and enjoyment of wholesome imagination, dreams, and aspirations. It would seem selfish to deny them the right to these at the age when they are most enjoyed. For a diversion from the serious problems of life, it is hoped that the theme of this book will offer you an opportunity to join youth in its effort to find a few moments of joyful recreation. - In 1935 Mr. L. J. Schultz was elected superintendent of the Cape Girardeau public schools, succeeding Mr, J. A. Whiteford. Prior to that time he had served as principal of Central High School, being elected to that position in 1929 upon the resignation of Mr. R. L. Davidson. From 1925 to 1929 he was at Central as a teacher of industrial arts. He came to Central from Pontiac, Illinois, where he held the position of instructor of mathematics and industrial arts. Mr. Schultz served as princial and then as superintendent at the Morning Sun Consolidated District in Iowa for the two years pre- ceding his work in Illinois. Previously he had taught industrial arts and coached athletics in Maryville from 1916 to 1918 and in Flat River from 1919 to 1921. Mr. Schultz holds his degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from the Southeast Missouri State Teachers College in Cape Girardeau and his Master of Arts degree from the University of Iowa, where he received recognition for meritorious work in the field of education.

SCHOOL DMINISTRATIO In this day of war and turmoil, one hears a great deal about being a good citizen and doing for one's country. Who are the substantial, reputable citizens who form the backbone of the nation? Are they those who gain election to public office, those who ac- cumulate wealth, those who avoid legal difficulties, those whose speeches or books influence thousands of persons, or those who are unknown workers? Some say the best citizens are those who are most useful. The courtesy of life itself leads one to wish to help others and to make constant effort to contribute to the world's store of happiness. Let me live in a house by ibe side of the road And be a friend lo man. In these words Sam Walter Foss indicated one of the highest ideals of life. A good citizen is kindly and helpful and lives with thought of others. A good citi- zen is anyone who makes himself increasingly helpful in a community, who is honest and law-abiding, not try- ing to take from others but to give to them. A high aim of life is contribution to human welfare. Mr. Paul jenkins became principal of Central High School in 1935, succeeding Mr. L. Schultz. He had been an instructor of social sciences at Central since 1930. Before teaching at Central High School, Mr. jenkins taught at Bernie and Fruitland. He received his degree of Bachelor of Science in Education from the State Teachers College at Cape Girardeau, Missouri and his Master of Arts degree from the University of Missouri.
