The administration is faced with the challenge of providing each student with the opportunity of acquiring the education and the skill that will bring success in future life. Realizing that young people spend the greater part of their time in school, the administration also seeks to instill in the students a standard of ethics. By serving the youth of his school, each administrator and each teacher achieves the personal satisfaction of knowing that he has been a deciding factor in the formulation of the student's set of values and range of knowledge.

Providing the facilities for modern-day educa- tion and the necessary academic challenge for today’s youth called for constant study, evalua- tion, and planning by members of the school board and the superintendent of schools. The acquisition of audio-visual equipment and ma- terials, the completion of the science laboratory, and the addition of many volumes to the library were all a part of the program to make Cumber- land one of the better-equipped rural schools. Concerned not only with improving the curric- ulum, school board members were also thinking of the physical plant and its appearance. Land purchased last year is being cleared. When this task is completed, the additional space will pro- vide more play area for the elementary students. 16
