SOCIALIZATION- A MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS In a great city people are the predominating part of our environment. The opportunities for socialization are numer- ous. A day seldom passes that a new social experience does not present itself. Each experience is met by most of you in a way approaching the norm for human society. Some meet the social problem in a way superior to the norm; some, in a way inferior. It is my candid opinion that every teacher should be able to meet people socially in a manner above the norm. By this I mean several things. Every person is entitled to courtesy even though it may be necessary to refuse a re- quest with dignified courtesy. If your nature is genuinely sin- cere and your complex of impulses is directed toward your chosen work in life, simple courtesy will be sufficient. Your genuine nature will in itself be pleasing and convincing. If, on the other hand, you are not blessed with such a disposition, train yourself in courtesy-mechanisms for they will be needed to carry you past difficult problems. Some believe this pro- cedure is hypocritical for it does not show our real selves. A deeper analysis, however, will show that we are not static and fixed and that practice in social action on a high plan may change us eventually to fit genuinely into a better social standard. All the social functions connected with our school should help to achieve results in social enjoyment, social adjustment, and, finally, social courtesy. I am highly pleased with the ac- complishments in these fields and look forward to a real social growth within the school. I am highly appreciative of the splendid help and sincere effort put forth by each of you for the Chicago Normal College. age Eight
