10 HOBSON C. WAGNER Superintendent of Schools C 'QXN M 4 fir All r W.. OLLIDAYSBURG has had a century of continuous growth lil in public education. Today, through its improved build- ing facilities, Hollidaysburg can meet the broad chal- M ' lenge of child development. The Junior High School, now a separate -unit, has a revised spirit and morale. Now activities offer previously desired oppor- tunities for leadership and for self-expression. Relief from crowded conditions creates a pleasing school atmosphere. The new courses in the Senior High School provide instruction in health, home-making, vocational training, and manual practice. Better class room methods, improved morale, and more varied activities are now in evidence. The guidance program aims to give each pupil assistance in meeting one's problems. A continuous pupil record, beginning in the first grade, makes possible intelligent advice to each pupil. Through personal contact, boys and girls are encouraged to build proper attitudes and ideals as a basis for ethical conduct. Public education in our nation aims to preserve the tradition and the culture of our people, it provides opportunities for pupils to attain knowledge, to build character, and to grow in personalityg it strives to preserve the ideals of democracy and to assure its future through an enlightened citizenship. Hollidaysburg is pre- pared to meet this challengeg and through the co-operation of the home, the church, and the school, the children of the community will attain these great objectives A! a .-. in .

ADE State Superintendent of Public lnstruction 5 . 9 11, it 5 ' l MONG the cardinal objectives of education, ethical character may be , regarded as of eminent importance, for it not only constitutes the V ultimate objective of education, but is attained only by the de- jf velopment of practically every other one of the cardinal principles. Character is the inter-action of all the inherent qualities'of personality. - Education for character implies that while we must give due considera- tion to the practical phase of life, we must also devote our minds to the good and the true. This we can do only if our ethical capacities are properly developed. The modern trend of education is to assist in enlarging and refining the physical, mental, and spiritual equipment of students, and to create in them a zeal for lofty ideals. A person of sound ethical character knows self-control, for the practice of this virtue renders him more capable of serving others. He is kind and plays fair, for he has acquired the fine art of living with others in harmony. By his self-reliance he not only refuses to impose his duties upon others, but inspires others to assume their own burdens courageously. He soon becomes known as one to be trusted with responsibilities and to be depended upon to do the right thing in the right way. He works always in friendly co-opera- tion on worthy enterprises. In short, the ethical person is loyal-loyal to duty, to self, to fellows, and to God. fiatwff 01N A N M.. 'Va I
