SECRETARY Mrs. Wanda Atkins TEACHERS’ AID Mr. G. C. Castelloe, Jr. OUR PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION FARMER SCHOOL We, the faculty of Farmer School, believe that all students should be given equal opportunity to an education that will develop attitudes, understandings, and skills which will help them be- come active citizens of their community, nation, and world. Specifically, our major objectives are to: 1. Educate the child to meet the needs of a changing world. 2. Help the child develop an attitude of curiosity and create a desire to seek knowledge for himself. 3. Stimulate industriousness and self-discipline. 4. Provide a firm foundation for higher learning by teaching basic skills at the child's own level of ability, as well as by enrichment. 5. Create a classroom atmosphere in which success, security, understanding, mutual re- spect, and every opportunity to attain worthy educational goals are all prevading. PRINCIPAL Mrs. R. C. Adams (not pictured) Mrs. Raymond Sink

VOCATIONAL AGRICULTURE Instruction is provided in the areas of animal science, plant science, agricultural business, and agricultural mechanics. These teaching-learning areas are undergirded by and supplemented with vocational guidance and the development of leadership and citizenship abilities. Emphasis is given to the practice of learning by doing -- students apply the principles and concepts learned in systematically planned learning experiences both during and after school hours. These experiences are obtained at school, at the student's home, or through businesses in the community which involve occupations in agriculture. WHAT SCIENCE DEPARTMENT Biology, like all of science, is an organized body of knowledge gained from experimentation and objective obser- vation, considered to be true and reliable but subject to change and revision in the light of new discoveries. Biology is also a method of inquiry and problem solving involving several procedures for investigation. The conquest of polio affords a dramatic example of the success of scientific methods.
