Eight 70 Zfze Unsubstantiated statements of dog- matic opinions relative to the import- ance of the administration of a public school system always seem trite. lt is obvious to him who would think that any organization or group that hopes to regulate or guide an educational program from nursery school through senior high school will find problems galore. This would be true in an era of more simple living. Today, in an age where social practice is attempting to catch up with scientific discoveries: the task is multiplied. To steer a Well defined course is difficult. Conflicts are more numerous. Tensions are more severe. To off-set these tendencies, convictions are firmer that democracy must continue, that tolerance is a ne- cessity in societal life, that co-opera- tion, While forced under dictatorship, must be voluntary in a democracy, and is far more necessary. The public institution today that dares to proclaim a definite plan, a declared policy, and a proposed technique of reaching ob- jectives, stands almost alone midst a multitude of institutional mumblings. The Board of Education realizes it is a Herculean task to expect to secure a potent personnel, capable of instill- ing a progressive educational pattern in the community when available, stable financial futures are lacking. However, the present Board of Educa- tion is not of the type to be discour- aged by unseemfngly difficult ob- stacles. They have used unusual busi- ness acumen. They have held the line in keeping school legislation based on constructive criteria. The executive part of the adminis- tration of schools has increased in re- sponsibility as society has increased in complexity of living. This may be judged from the list submitted and which has been used as a guide for your instructors during the present school year. SOCIETAL DEMANDS OF EDUCATION To help the learner gain poise and understanding in the complex life about him. To provide for an opportunity to participate in group living. To provide stimulation of creative expression. Develop attitudes of adjustment toward social justice. Help build an appreciation of democracy and what is needed to preserve it. Help get such mastery of knowledge and techniques as will be useful in organized group living. Provide for an appreciation of the importance of education in a broader sense. The program designed to carry out these implied objectives must of neces- sity be intricate. This same program must be practical, specific, and effi- cient. lt should show results in the life patterns of the alumni after making certain considerations for other con- ditioning factors. Seniors may Well meditate over the thought that if they accept the premise submitted relative to educational ob- jectives: they must continue to grow educationally after high school gradu- ation. They must continue to assume more and more responsibilities of de- mocracy. The senior who has prepared himself for tomorrow's America will realize that the principles of democ- racy and of Christianity are practically synonymous. lt is the expressed wish of the Board of Education and the administration that these ideas will become more meaningful as seniors advance in years and proceed to cope with life's problems. Faithfully yours, IOHN P. SHEFFIELD.
