I have been wondering whether the boys and girls in our high school today will keep America the land of golden opportunity. I be- lieve that many of our boys and girls of today are expecting to get a high school education with Very little effort on their part. I feel that in this world of ours we need more young men and women who will work harder than ever when they get out in life's work. It is often said, HYou cannot get something for nothing. Those are true words. Young people cannot get an education without exert- ing much effort while they are in high school. We are moving forward very fast in this land of opportunity in which we live. Our OUR HIGH SCHOOL I PRINCIPAL Daniel B. Swaney Mid young people should mold and build character, and develop good study habits so that they may cope with our world problems. I am more con- scious about our world problems, and I wonder if our young people of today will help to guide our country in building world peace. The men and women of America have never had so many world problems to cope with, as they have today. I believe you can see now why I am stressing that boys and girls in our high schools should take advantage of their high school training and get the most out of their high school days. America needs more young people with better training for our future.

Each school child presents its own proh- lexus for consideration and for individual at- tention. Different children present different educational prohlems, and each child's proh- lems must he understood and given special, individualized attention. Teachers are quick to realize the prohlems of each child and to render help 'to each child in solving its own prohlems. Parents of school children must he given consideration in every phase of the child's education. Parents are vitally' interested in the welfare of the child in the home and in the school. The greatest good for the child will result where there is close cooperation hetween the home and the school. Parents direct the home activities of the pupil and the teachers direct the school activities. Con- flicts hetween the home and school authorities should he avoided after careful consideration. Consideration hy the hoard is due every taxpayer. This means that the hoard must provide good schools and at the same time practice economy, so that taxpayers will not he hurdened with unnecessary taxes. School costs have increased and reached their high- est peak. School taxes must he levied to meet the increasing costs, hut taxes will he held to a minimum out of consideration for the tax- payer. Consideration for thc wclfare of thc com- munity involves an cducated citizenry intelli- gently eontrihuting to the common good. The schools play an important part i11 this pro- gram.
