OUND X' K' xA is more to education than just acquiring a knowledge of ,the ,thPee'Rs 'The 'command of the fundamental processes becomes the necessary ground work for a more comprehensive education. Our devoted teachers and administrators combine their efforts to pro- vide each student with a background, rich and complete, in order to build a foundation for intelligent participation in the responsibilities of life in a democracy. Education is the greatest enterprise with which our country is concerned. The hope of democracy lies in the ability of young people to co-operate, to work and play together, now and in the future, for the welfare of all. It is through the schools that this objective is achievedg and because of this fact the public schools are the real foundation of our American government. The American school system has seven main objectives in its educational program. These objectives are health, mastery of certain fundamental subjects, appreciation of home life, training for a voca- tion, education for citizenship, proper use of leisure time and instruc- tion in matters of character. Our teachers do not confine their efforts to teaching alone. They have also sponsored various clubs and vocational groups that develop desirable traits of character in those who participate in them. So, through the combined efforts in the classrooms and the influence of extra-curricular activities, the student is aided in laying a firm groundwork for future citizenship. ISTRATICJN
