PROBLEM LL Worthwhile Work must have an aim. ln education this aim must be a practical one. Thirteen years ot a person's life are spent in public schools. During this period the individual is shaped and fitted into the role he is to play in adult life. This lite must needs be spent as a ma- ture member ot modern society, ln America, with its principles of democracy, of free- dom and justice, every person must know how to use his privileges Wisely and advantageously. This necessitates his being able to sift out the most valuable things of life and appreciate them. Only through education can he be prepared to do this Well. Entering Falconer High School each year are young people who have completed six years of elementary train- ing and who are now ready to begin the last lap of their education.

MATERIALS A N D EQUIPMENT HE results of an experiment depend largely on the type of materials and equipment used. Impertection in either of these, lowers the quality of the finished product. Foremost in the materials of the experiment of educa- tion are the students. They are supervised and instructed by teachers hired by the Board of Education. These teachers are chosen 'for their competence and ability to impart knowledge of their specific fields, also to help the students select their ideals and develop- their character. Students cannot be Well taught and guided with defective equipment. The school buildings, classrooms, the campus must be modern and Well-equipped. Without good reliable materials and equipment, it is impossible to expect satisfactory results in the important Work of educating the youth of today.
