lil rl K A , -- 4 - Nihuk 5 ' i ' - ' SCHCDOL LIFE THE 1DEA1.s or c.u,u.s. To develop individuality rather than conformity. The hope of amounting to anything is based on non-conforming powers. To develop optimisim. This is the best American characteristic the blithe courage to tackle anything, the specializing in the impossible. To teach how to play. Play and laughter go hand in hand. The lilt of a happy laugh is music to the soul of every one. It clears the brow and cheers the heart for better things. To encourage many-sidedness. In a land of specialist the all-around man is king. To develop lmsiness shrewdness. It is better to drive a nail straight than mismanage a railroad. To teach. seU-government. The best cure for What is the matter with our Country? is the mastery of self, and the merging of personal desires with the will of many. To do and not to dream. The work which counts is the work in hand it is the things one has done that shows what he can, not the bigger and better things he plans. To serve. Education for service is the aim and the ultimate test of all scholastic preparation. Page Fifty seven If imitation be the greatest and truest praise, then the editors of the 1925 Petrolia are receiving our praise for we find no better way of introducing our account of school life and its activities than by quoting their words. The co-ordination of intra- and extra- classroom activities has been more pronounced this year, and each new phase of student activity has been granted its place only after it has measured up to the requirement which is the basic ideal of the school-- Every subject of study, every activity outside the classroom. hold a place in the school program only by virtue of being serviceable instruments for fostering and developing interests and enthusiasms in human achievements. It is out of the school situations that stu- dents get the spirit which helps them to solve the difficult problems of life as well as to acquire true sportsmanship, the kind of spirit which largly determines one's relations to his associates. As in previous years, many of the activities begin in the class- room or the training for the contests is a part of the daily program. In the history of our efforts which follows, there has been no at- tempt arrangement in order of importance or excellence.
