Silhouette of Eagle Rock. Nestled among the hills, under the vigilance of the guarding Eagle Rock, is a small inconspicuous school, yet it is outstanding. Why? Because here are being tried out certain experiments in progressive education which will require eight years before certain results can be expected. Like the giant telescope being constructed at the California Institute of Technology, these experiments require time, patience, and earnest labor for their successful com- pletion. Eagle Rock High is one of thirty experimental schools in the United States which are trying ou certain new methods of education. The instructors of the school have prepared the foundation for mental and physical programs which, like the telescope, still must be polished and perfected. 11 The most important part of this new plan is its emphasis on the student's own attitude toward his education. A pupil's grades represent his achievement in relation to his ability. He is given a wide choice of subjects, his special interests being taken into consideration during the period of program planning. The faculty members in charge of this are cognizant of the fact that all students are not interested in the same subjects, nor are they all expecting to choose the same occupation when they enter the adult world. jj The pupils are conscious of their social responsi- bilities, not only to the school, but to the community as well as to the state and nation. After a short period of training under this new system, one realizes that education is a continual process, and not just a phase of one's life which ends as soon as he leaves school. Eagle Rock High gives each student a chance to progress toward a well-rounded education, and an opportunity to interest himself in the world problems which will affect his future life. The school has progressed a long way through the fine cooperative work done by the students and teachers during the last decade. This Totem culminates ten years of progress in every school activity-we celebrate not the ending of a period but continued progress.-By Norman Bennett.
