PHILOSOPHY The secondary school in Americaeexists to aid and to promote in its students the development of those powers, skills, attitudes, and ideals which will enable them to become progressively useful as citizens in the school community, to the end that they may play useful and honorable roles as citizens in a democratic social and political o1'der. Its program must, therefore, be so organized and administered as to assist and encourage the individual pupil to acquire, to the extent of his na- tive endowments, the knowledge and experiences that will assure, so far as may be, a personal responsibility for the realization of a well-rounded life in his relationship to society. In scopethe program should embrace the mental, moral, physical, so- cial, cultural, and spiritual phases of man's existence. I-Iargrave Military Academy, founded by a group of consecrated Christian leaders and developed under the ownership and general control of the Baptist Board of Missions and Education, believes that it is obligated not only to provide for the mental, moral, and physical development of its matriculates, but also to. give the spiritual and religious aspects of life a definite place in its program. A proper attitude toward and relationship with the Supreme Being, developed in a non-sec- tarian atmosphere, with tolerance and goodwill toward all, are essential to the building of Christian character and leadership. The motto, 6'Making Men - Not Money, with all that it implies, sums up the philosophy of the school. The student body of Hargrave lllilitary Academy, which is composed of boys from many social environments, home conditions, and educational backgrounds, may be divided into two main groups: Q11 those who enroll for thespecific pur- pose of preparing for higher education, and f2j those who have failed to fit into the educational program of their home communities. It is the duty of the school to provide a program suited to the needs of these distinct groups. - oBJEcT1vEs Specifically these objectives may be stated as: 1. To provide a corps of teachers trained to lead in academic and extra curricular explorations, interests and activities calculated to help the student discover his aptitudes and decide what he will do with his life. 2. To maintain a pleasant, homelike atmosphere with proper care for the comfort, diet and gen- eral happiness of the student body. 3. To provide in so far as possible individual attention both from the educational and personal points of view. - 41. To maintain a Military Training program emphasizing physical exercise and the develop- ment of such traits as punctuality, obedience, orderliness, respect for constituted authority, rever- ence for our Flag and National Institutions, a sense of personal responsibility, self-reliance, and leadership, as well as the building of strong, graceful bodies. 5. To provide a sports program which seeks to afford adequate physical training, to promote and develop a true conception and practice of sportsmanship, and to create a spirit of loyalty and co- operation. 6. To provide for faculty-sponsored activities, initiated by the students, and developed- in ac- co1'dance with their recreational, cultu1'al and avocational interests. 7. To maintain a Wholesome environment, stress character building and spiritual development both by precept and example. 8. To develop the adolescent youth into a well-rounded being, ready and willing to take his place in society, Whatever that place may be. 5
