I4 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL TO COMMON SCHOOL GRADUATES You have finished the work of the common school and are no doubt planning to continue your education in the high school. In your choice of a school consider well the opportunities offered by the Dickinson Community High School. You have grown up in the country and have attended country schools nearly all your life. The Dickinson Community High School offers such surroundings. More than three-fourths of the students are from the country. Another important matter in considering a school is the character of the work. Among the practical courses offered are the following: Farm Carpen- try, Auto Repair, Gas Engine Repair, Blacksmithing and Tool Making, Cooking, Canning and Preserving of Foods, Meal Planning, Preparation and Serving, and the Buying of Food, Bookkeeping, Shorthand, Typewriting. and Teacher Training. A student who has taken the Normal Training course takes a state examination in seven subjects, and then receives a certificate to teach in the elementary schools of Kansas. The equipment for these courses is excellent and will be maintained. It must be borne in mind, also, that in connection with all of the courses offered, there is an unusually well equipped library. Students have excellent opportunities for the study of music. There is a very moderate fee for private lessons in Piano, Voice, Violin, and Band and Orchestra instruments. Four teachers are employed full time in the work of the department of music. Instruction is free in Glee Clubs, Choruses, Band, and Orchestra. Students appear before the public on many occasions. These are things worthy of consideration by a student who is planning to go to high school. Those who graduate will find a welcome in any Uni- versity or College if they wish to continue their education. STANDING In 1913 the Dickinson Community High School was approved by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. This gives graduates the privilege of entering without examination any University or College in the Association. The Dickinson Community High School has been approved by the state and, also, by the Federal Government, to receive state aid in agriculture. The amount paid varies slightly from year to year, but one-half of it is paid by the Federal Government, and an equal amount by the state of Kansas. According to the rating of the State Board of Education this is a class A high school, the highest rank in the state. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL A I5 WORK BY DEPARTMENTS Industrial Arts The Dickinson Community High School is keeping pace with the rapid development of an industrial nation. There are courses in Woodwork, Vocational Agriculture, Auto Mechanics, and Drafting. The rapid industrial development and the needs of the community demand frequent changes in these courses. The new Industrial Arts Building is well equipped with a sufficient quantity of modern tools and machinery. Auto Mechanics This course is designed to meet the needs of the community as well as to train boys in the repair of autos, trucks, tractors, and farm machinery. Practically all time is given to practical jobs as they are brought into the shop. An effort is made to make working conditions and methods of repair similar to those found in the modern commercial garage. This training is valuable to the student in learning how to take care of his own equipment, should he not desire to follow this trade. Agriculture Agriculture is recognized as one of the major sciences. From the fact that the world is and always will be dependent upon agricultural products, one may safely conclude that the field offers as great possibilities as any for the ambitious, especially for those who have an agricultural background upon which to build. The Dickinson Community High School is recognized by those who are competent to judge as being one of the strongest Agricultural high schools in the state. The natural surroundings, diversification of crops and superior quality of livestock in the community, give the school the high rank which it now holds in this work. The work of the department is the practice as well as the theory of Ag- riculture along the lines of livestock, poultry, crops, soils, and farm man- agement problems. Individual projects and home practice are features of the course, thereby giving the student an opportunity to compete for scholarships offered to the students of agriculture by various organizations. The student also has the benefit of supervised instruction during the summer months as well as during the time school is in session. The work of the demonstration farm is co-operative with the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science and is one of the few plots through the state conducted by vocational schools, from which the college gets its data along lines of variety, yields, fertilizer tests, etc. The farm consists of eight acres that have been laid off in plots for demonstrations, fertilizer tests, crop rotation demonstration, variety tests in wheat, corn sorghums, soy beans, clover, oats, or any other crops advisable to grow. This demonstration farm furnishes crop and soil problems and valuable observation studies. V FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA FUTURE HOMEMAKERS OF AMERICA DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCI-IOOI- THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 17 Tree trimming and pruning, terracting, culling poultry, and other farm practices are arranged to correlate with class work, thus giving the student the opportunity to put into practice the teachings of the classroom in many activities in which the student will be engaged in life. The Dickinson Community High School with its many advantages offers the student coming from the farm the proper atmosphere for agricul- tural work, which, of necessity will be one of the fields which furnish un- limited opportunities for the ambitious young person with inclinations toward agricultural lines. Home Economics The Home Economics Department offers three years' work. This de- partment offers practical work in home planning and living. An attempt is made to apply principles to meet the economic situation of the day. The goal of the foods course is to teach a girl what foods she and her family should have in order to meet the body requirements in the most eco- nomical way from the standpoint of time, energy, and money. The formal classroom method will not be used, but girls will work individually or in small groups thus developing more independence and managerial ability. Some time will be given to study and experimental work. The foods laboratory is used in connection with the cafeteria. This gives the pupils a chance-to work with foods in large quantities as well as in small individual amounts. The equipment is new and well organized which makes this depart- ment a pleasant place in which to work. The Department of Household Arts has been organized so as to give the girls a wider and more complete training for home making. Teaching the girls to sew will be only one of numerous aims. A thorough study will be made of different textiles. The girls will be taught to plan their own wardrobes so that they will be economical as well as attractive. The Houte- hold Art Courses will also include work in home planning. furnishing, decoration, and house keeping. 18 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Mathematics The Mathematics Department in the Dickinson Community High School offers unusual opportunities to those students desiring a complete and thorough basis for pursuing advanced work in technical lines or to those who merely desire a good mathematical education. The Mathematics Department offers three and a half years' work. Be- ginning algebra stresses the four fundamental processes and enables the student to handle simple equations. Geometry teaches the study of figures of two dimensions, involving areas and practical arithmetical applications. It aims to teach the student to think clearly and pursue an argument to a logical conclusion. Advanced algebra, a one-semester course, is an extension of beginning algebra. Solid geometry, which alternates with trigonometry, and is taught second semester every two years, applies the principles of geometry to three dimensions. Trignometry gives the student the excellent tool of logarithms, thus enabling him to handle difficult numbers. With the increasing emphasis in the world of today on technical work in engineering, aviation, chemistry, physics, and geology, the Mathematics Department of the Dickinson Community High School meets the challenge and prepares the student to face the demands of a civilization which is be- coming increasingly more and more air minded. Commerce Commercial education is undergoing a great change, and the Commer- cial Department of the Dickinson Community High School is keeping in step, Commercial education is no longer the narrow, vocational work having as its purpose the preparation of stenographers and bookkeepers. The work given in the vocational courses-typing, shorthand, and bookkeeping-is of the highest type for this specialized field. There is still a greater field-that of building up a sound, fundamental background for later business life. General Business is now being given during the freshman year. This subject is designed to give the student, early in his schooling, an insight of the business world. Commerical Arithmetic is being taught as it applies to the real problems of life. Business principles, an advanced class in consumer education, is offered as a finishing course for the senior commercial student. The typewriting field is being divided into two types of work. The first year is being devoted to what is commonly called personal typewriting. During this year's work, one may master the keyboard and become familiar with the more comon uses of the typewriter as it applies to everyday business and social life. The advanced commercial student will be given an extensive course in Typewriting II. Students with a desire to enter the business life in future years should give the Commercial Department serious consideration when choosing electives. CHORUS iD MIX! 20 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Music The music program as offered in the Dickinson Community High School is unique, inasmuch as it presents a large variety of courses in applied music. Students may pursue prescribed courses in either voice, piano, or any band or orchestra instrument. To this list a course in piano-accordion has been added. After several years of intensive study, a short course in harmony and music appreciation, and upon recommendation by the entire music faculty, the student may be permitted to perform at a graduation recital. Special rec- ognition is given these music graduates in form of a music diploma at the recognition assembly. The following students received music certificates this year: Piano: Catherine Baier, Martha Hassler, Marjorie Long, Gene Meuli, Lorene Miller. Joyce Rohrer, Max Shank, Louise Foerschler, Doris Correll, and Wilma Botz. Saxophone: Laverna Lenhart. Violin: Bruce Markley. Voice: Bruce Markley, Joyce Rohrer, and Conley Williams. Clarinet: Wendell Silvius. ' Trumpet: Conley Williams. Normal Training The Dickinson County Community High School is the only high school in the county that offers the Normal Course. This course offers both aca- demic and professional training for teachers who wish to teach in the ele- mentary schools of Kansas. A number of visits will be made to the rural schools of the county where the students will have an opportunity to see the work of a rural teacher. Where satisfactory arrangements can be made, the student teachers will be given an opportunity to take charge of the classes and conduct the recitations. After completing the Normal Training Course, those who wish to teach are required to take a state examination in seven subjects: Arithmetic, Grammar, Reading, Geography, Psychol0gY, Methods and Management. Even though a student may not wish to teach, this course is valuable as it includes a background in the fundamental subjects and meets all the requirements for college entrance. Students taking this course will find in the library a list of well chosen text and reference books dealing on every phase of teaching. These books are to be used as reference to supplement the rgular classroom texts. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 21 NORMAL TRAINING RECITATION ROOMS, LIBRARY, GYMNASIUM, EQUIPMENT, ETC. The Dickinson Community High School is in the west part of Chap- man along the paved highway. The campus covers a block and a half, most of ft nicely shaded by beautiful trees. Here are located four main buildings, three of which are built of native limestone, Three departments are located in the Industrial Arts building: Woodwork. Auto Mechanics, and Vocational Agriculture. These are furnished with new equipment well suited to fill the practical needs of students from a rural community. In the Community Building there are music rooms for part of the work of the Music Department. the foods rooms of the Home Economics Department. and an auditorium capable of seating nearly l000 people, ln the Main Building there are twenty rooms devoted to school pur- poses. Here are the rooms for Latin, English, mathematics, history, and commercial work, all Well equipped. The high school office is on the first floor. On the second floor there is a large study hall, equipped with diction- aries, encyclopedias, and desks for the students. This opens into a large library reading room, well lighted and furnished with tables and chairs. The students have access to the books on the shelves, the dictionaries, encyclopedias, other reference books, and the card catalogue. The librarian is ready at all times to help the students find what they need. The equipment of the library compares very favorably with that of much larger high schools. ln the Gymnasium-Science Building there are three classrooms furnished with the latest equipment. Two rooms are devoted to the work in science and one to Normal Training. These rooms are well lighted and ventilated. The rooms are large and well provided with laboratory tables and chairs. Also, in this building is one of the finest gymnasiums in Kansas. These is one large basketball court lengthwise of the floor and two basketball courts crosswise of the same floor. In close connection with this floor are the lockers and the shower rooms, all well equipped. This offers an opportunity to play in- door games. Classes are arranged for girls as well as boys and are open to all students.

Entering students, who are sixteen years of age and who have no common school diploma, are advised to consult the principal of the high school. Rules and Regulations Good conduct is expected of all students. The cooperation of teachers, parents, and students is the foundation of a good school. Cases of miscon- duct not meeting the approval of the teachers may be referred to the princi- pal. If satisfactory adjustment cannot be made, the parent will be notified immediately. ' Reports Reports are sent to parents every six weeks showing the standing of the student in his studies. In the case of work below standard. more frequent reports may be made. Inquiries from parents are always welcome. Expenses Little can be said about living expenses. No assurance can be given that rooms can be secured by students who prefer to remain in Chapman during the week. People who have rooms for students are advised to list them with the secretary in the office. The school is lowering the expense to the student by renting some of the higher priced books at a reasonable fee. if the book is returned in good condition. --f-- : - e e Y GIRLS' ENSEIVIBLE 24 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION On graduation from any four-year course the student will receive a diploma, If the student completes three full years of music, he will receive a music certificate in addition to the regular diploma.

BAND CLINIC Z6 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIES There are some activities outside of the class room that have an im- portant place in the life of the high school. An account of some of these as carried on in the Dickinson Community I-Iigh School will be found on the following pages. Public Speaking and Dramatics Speech is a bridge which connects one individual with others. It is a great accomplishment to be able to say what one has in mind and to say it in such a way as to be understood by those who are listening. A student in this department has many opportunities to practice what he has learned. There is a demand for programs in the entertainments given by rural schools in the county and in community gatherings, and in various organizations and clubs. There are good opportunities for public speaking in the weekly assembly programs and Girl Reserve and Hi-Y meetings. Each year a play is given by the junior class and one by the senior class. The Junior Play is given just before Thanksgiving and the Senior Play during the Commence- ment season. The Junior Play Don't Take My Penny was presented November 15, 1945. Members of the cast were Lenna Norman, Bob Zumbrunn, Maxine McVicker, Bob Broadfoot, Eldon Hoover, Anne Marie Scanlan, Marilyn Baer, Leone Betts, Forrest Dean Wlippo, Armin Scripter, Ruth Bertsch, John Kreider, Verna Bear, Arbutus Buhrer, Carol Wolf, George Zurmely, and Gene Steele. The Senior Play, Two Gentlemen and Verona was given May 23 and 24, 1946, with a capacity crowd each night.

These programs are as follows: Plantation Singers Schwerke and Gibson, Violinists Elzie R. Bown, Memory Wizard The public is invited and encouraged to attend these programs whenever it is convenient. SZ THIZ DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCI-IOOI. Musical Organizations There are five major musical organizations in the Dickinson County Community High School: the mixed chorus, the girls' glee club, the boys' glee club, the band and the orchestra. During the school year various vocal and instrumental ensembles are formed. The school owns a number of instruments which may be used by students, These instruments are loaned without charge to students desiring to play a band or orchestra instrument. A Christmas program in which all the music organizations participated was presented just preceding the Christmas vacation. In the fall the band made its debut in the new uniforms at a concert in the gymnasium. .The Clay Center and Abilene bands were guests at a band clinic this spring, The ZOO piece band, composed of members from each of the three schools. gave a con- cert in the evening following the clinic. . The summer band meets every Monday for rehearsal and every Thursf day for a concert. During the summer months individual lessons to high school and grade school pupils are being given by Mr. Engwicht forla fee ot' 25 cents per lesson. At the present time over 100 students are taking lessons at centers located throughout the district. Is is hoped that the in- creased interest in music will result in an increased enrollment in the music groups. FRESI-IMAN GIRLS' CHORUS THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOI GIRLS' GLEIE CLUB BOYS' GLEE CLUB 34 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL Religious Organizations and Influences Perhaps no town of its size in Kansas has better church facilities than Chapman. There are three church organizations: Catholic, Lutheran, and Federated. To all these students are welcome, and on Sundays during the school year they often form the greater part of the congregation and Sunday school classes. Girl Reserves The Ciirl Reserve club is that group in the Young Women's Christian Association composed of teen-age girls. The purpose is To find and give the best, and the slogan, To face life squarely. The weekly programs are planned to develop the spiritual, physical, and mental well-being of the girls. Membership is open to all girls who wish to accept the purpose. The membership of the past year was 150. The club sponsored a picnic for all girls-of the high school early in the year. The Dad-daughter party, which has been discontinued for three years, was held again this year. The Mother-Daughter tea given in May was very well attended. Twelve girls attended the mid-winter conference at Riley. Ruth Bertsch, president, and Marion Messinger attended summer conference at Sedan in June. FRESHMAN BOYS' CHORUS THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 35 Hi-Y The Chapman Hi-Y club is the oldest organization of this type in existence, and from the reports in the early '90's at the Kansas State Y.M.C.A. meetings other high schools were influenced to organize similar clubs. Since that time the Hi-Y organization has continued to play an active part in the lives of the students of the Dickinson County Community High School. While the stated purpose of the Hi-Y is To create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community, it also endeavors to develop the personality of its membership and enlarge their social outlook. Due attention is given to social etiquette, getting along with people. community responsibilities, and occupational opportunities, The whole program endeavors to supplement the academic program of the school. Alumni The Dickinson County Community High School is supported by an un- usually strong and enthusiastic Alumni Association. Each alumnus, of whom there is now over two thousand, stands for the best interests of the school and uses his influence for advancing its success. The alumni business meeting is held in the evening of the day of Commencement. At this meeting the new graduates are initiated into the association, and following the business meeting. they all pass to the banquet room which is capable of seating 350 to 400 people. This is the crowning event of the Commencement period. The alumni banquet is served amid toasts and speeches which arouse enthusiasm and recall almost forgotten pleasures and experiences of students of the Dick- inson County Community High School. If an alumnus has missed the banquet this year, he is planning to be present next year. If he is present this year. he is certain he will attend next year. 36 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL COURSE OF STUDY-GENERAL The following pages contain an outline of the courses of study offered in the Dickinson County Community High School. It is believed that these courses should meet the needs of the Dickinson County boys and girls.

Seven units are prescribed for graduation from an accredited high school: three units in English, two units of social science, including one-half unit of Constitution of the United States, one unit of mathematics, and a laboratory science. Q Students of a foreign language should be urged to complete at least two units of the elected language before discontinuing the study or changing to another language. A minor in foreign language is two units of the same language. One uriit in each of two languages is not a minor. More or less intensive work is insured in the requirement of two majors of three units each. The student is given larger discretion in the choice of subject matter. in that he may select freely one major, one minor, and units not prescribed. Unit subjects must be completed before credit in either semester can be permanently recorded. The half unit in unit subjects cannot count toward graduation until the unit is completed.

Second Year Latin. CTwo Semestersj. Latin for Americans, II by Ullman and Henry. Latin is basic for English. It is important, also, for an understanding of our civilization, which is, essentially, the civilization of western Europe. Latin helps to furnish a good foundation for college work. Those who take Latin should take two years of it. If any pupils desire to continue Latin in college, it is better for them to take their high school Latin in their junior and senior years. Otherwise, it may be better for them to take their Latin in their freshman and sophomore years. English English, QEight Semestersj. Six semesters of English are required. The fourth year--two semesters-is optional. The course of study is planned to meet the needs of the students who will enter college and of those whose school days will close at the end of the high school course. In writing the student is expected to acquire a fair knowledge of spelling, sentence structure. punctuation. idiom, division into paragraphs: in literature, ability to read with accuracy. intelligence and appreciation. English I First Year, First Semester. The work of this semester consists of sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, spelling, and vocabulary building. In both oral and written composition skill in expression is emphasized. All theme writing ,will deal with actual experiences of the students. Enjoying English, Book One, by Wolf and Geyer will be used as a textbook. - First Year. Second Semester. Adventures in Reading by Ross and Thompson, the text used, offers a wide range of content-adventures by land and sea. stories of high ambition and struggles against odds, important questions to ponder, and humor. Although much time is spent on current literature, including short stories, one-act plays, poetry, essays, articles digests. and a radio play to keep up with current trends, some time is reserved for such classics as Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Scott's Ivanhoe. Written assignments for this semester will be chosen from the sugges- tions given in the text. For each semester every student will be required to read at least two books selected from an approved list. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 49 English II Second Year, First Semester. The laboratory method has proved to be practical, economic in time, and interesting to study because of the in- formative drills used as the basis for stressing and applying the mechanics of writing, the various forms of the sentence, the rules and application of capitalization, punctuation, and correct word usage. Required themes, and themes for additional credit for the more am- bitious students. are assigned for the purpose of aiding the student to express himself freely by the choice of correct words, clear sentence structure. and proper punctuation. Textz' Enjoying English, Book Two, by Wolf and Geyer. Second Year, Second Semester. The text book, Adventures in Appre- ciation by Luella B. Cook, H. A. Miller, and Walter Loban, contains stories. most of which are true or realist, and, also, stories of humor, of strange adventures, of interesting people, of science, and of heroism. These, together with the one-actplays. the ideal realistic novel, Silas Marner, and the Shakesperean play, Merchant of Venice, have been read and enjoyed with more than usual interest. Students find in these studies patterns for their own lives as interpreted in the lives of characters about them and of those heard over the radio. Class discussions and theme assignments are based upon the selections in the text book and in The Reader's Digest, the magazine used as a classroom supplement for sophomores and juniors, Memory work is required in connection with several of the selections studied. Each student is required to read five books during the year. These books are selected from the school library and must be approved by the teacher. English III Third Year, First Semester. Units on sentence structure, diction, punc- tuation, and capitalization are stressed during this semester. In addition, some time is spent in reviewing the correct usage of the parts of speech. Application of the principles of good usage is made in oral and written composition. Enjoying English, Book Three, by Wolf and Geyer, is used as the work book. Third Year, Second Semester. Important American writers and their works supply the material for study this semester. From the text, Adven- tures in American Literature, representative selections of various types- poetry, essay, biography, short story, and drama-are considered. These units and articles from The Reader's Digest, used to supplement the text. are designed to give a background in contemporary literature as well as a knowledge of the earlier writing of our own country. Each student is required to read six books from an approved list. 50 THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY I-IIGI-I SCHOOL Spanish Spanish I fTwo Semestersl A great deal of the recitation period is spent in conversation in Spanish and in composition, both oral and written.

In elementary science the pupils are instructed in the scientific method of thinking and made acquainted with some of the fundamental principles of the several sciences. It serves as an introductory course to the field of science. Biology, fTwo Semestersj . . Biology is the science of living things. Its principles are intimately as- sociated with our daily living. The present world strife adds greatly to our need of the knowledge of biology. We are confronted by restricted diets, congested living quarters, the increased spread of diseases, and many similar problems of a biological nature. Even man's conquest of the air has presented new and confusing problems that must be solved or limit achievements, In the course, as presented, the living processes of all organisms are stressed, giving special emphasis to the economic relationships of those in our environment. The human, as a biological subject, is given thorough consid- eration. Many of our profesions, as medicine, nursing, food inspecting, animal husbandry, and disease control, have their foundation in the principles of biology. Much pleasure and satisfaction in living may be derived from an understanding of biology. , Text: Everyday Biology by Curtis, Caldwell and Sherman. THE DICKINSON COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL 53 Physics, QTwo Semestcrsj. Text: Modern Physics by Charles E. Dull. No other subject offered in the school curriculum has any closer appli- cation to our daily living routine than physics. There was never a time in the world's history when a greater need for trained physicists existed than at present. Every large industrial enterprise is backed by a physics laboratory somewhere. The course contributes greatly to the understanding of our environment. . Our civilization is built upon the application of physical laws. Our machines such as the airplane. the submarine, and electric refrigerator are applications of physical laws turned to our use. Regardless of what life work one undertakes, he will find many occasions for the use of his knowledge of physics. Physiology. COne Semesterj. Text: Health and Achievement, by Cockefair.

Secretarial Training. COne Semesterl. This subject is being substituted for third semester shorthand. During the semester much time is given to shorthand as is indicated by the following outline which clearly indicates the specific problems to be solved: 1. To develop and perfect the secretarial student's ability as a shorthand writer and typist-basic skills. 2. To broaden his knowledge and appreciation of business procedure and practices. 3. To provide sufficient practice in the secretarial assignments in solving definite secretarial problems. so as to add definitely not only to the student's equipment as an effective business worker, but to provide for his future growth. Secretarial Training offers the aggressive student an opportunity to gain knowledge that will qualify him not only as a stenographer but also as a secretary. Typewriting, fFour Semestersl. The first qualification for a successful typist is accuracy. After the correct technique is developed, the student is taught the various forms of business letters. The first year of typing serves as a course in personal typewriting and is open to any junior or senior in school. Second year typing is open to commercial majors. During the third term the transcribing of shorthand notes furnishes a large part of the work. Speed is developed but accuracy is stressed at all times. Business letters, financial statements, invoices, legal documents, and business forms are com- pleted and studied. Advanced typing students are given practice by the teachers and business men of Chapman. Text: Twentieth Century Typewriting by Lessenberry. Commercial Law. fOne Semesterj.

This advanced course fills a great need in our present day educational system. Every individual must be a producer, a consumer, a worker, an investor or perhaps all of these. If this is true, he is bound to be affected by the constant changes which are taking place in the economic conditions of our country. Our education should help one on any or in all of the four capacities. If it does not, something is lacking. The aim of this course is to develop the student in order that in his future life he will be self-sustaining and better able to conserve his savings. The course should help to create a higher standard of ethics and to establish a philosophy of living which will result in a happier life and a better world in which to live.
