H. C. H. S. WIN NAD A 1926 Departments General EDUCATION must be universal, including every element vital to hu- man welfare, it must be economical, using the student’s limited time and energy in the ways that will be most productive to himself and to society: and it must be symmetrical, determined always by the best available judgment of relative values. Every school, whether elementary, high school or college, must meet the human needs of its pupils. It must minister to their lives in such a way that their latent powers may be brought forth in the expression of fine, wholesome, upstanding lives. Education has a twofold purpose: to train youth to be good citizens and to train each to be efficient in his profession. To do this it must inspire in each the worth whileness and nobility of the life that is mentally keen and morally clean and must urge each to make a choice early in life as to a profession so that he can be working along lines of necessary preparation. The Humboldt County High School in its activities has tried to satis- fy the natural craving for expression of its pupils. Athletics in all its varied phases can not be presented but as great a variety as possible is the aim. Not only athletics but oratory, debate, plays and operettas have given pupils an opportunity to do things that they like. In the courses that are offered, the high school has tried to satisfy the needs of the pupils as far as possible with the limited number of teachers that the county can afford to supply. It will be impossible to offer the varied educational curricula of a very large high school, and the problem is to offer the essentials consistent with the county’s ability to pay. Every school has the responsibility and the duty to make as broad an educational offering as is consistent with its size and income. The development of character and of life depends upon the activity of the individual. The kind of activity determines the kind of character, but it is activity that develops. Therefore the school that seeks to build character and to develop the latent possibilities of pupils must provide a broad, wholesome line of physical, mental and moral activities. There are some who get the idea that pupils are sometimes over worked, and that they are required to do too much in school. The truth is, that pupils who so complain have not found any interest that appeals to them. This generally is because of their unwillingness to enter into the activities that would promote their interest. The boy or girl that is most happy in school is the one who is doing the most, and the ones that are most dissatisfied are the ones who are taking or trying the easiest path. Work is the greatest insurance of contentment. The school then that fulfills its mission must offer a broad line of study and activities. The pupil that is interested in science must receive the fulfillment of his desires. If he is interested in languages, music, commerce, or mathematics his need must be met. Whatever his aim or desire, the school must satisfy him as far as it is possible. He may not be interested in athletics and yet oratory, debate, or
