Efficient Adjuster Of Our Problems Our principal, who acknowledges our per- fections and minimizes our faults-Mr. R. Y. Allison. A. ll.. .-X. M. Recognizing' increas- ed dt-reloptnent of the vocational guidance prograin as one of the scl1ool's strongest needs. he is wholeheartedly in favor of the new program. Placing the student in the right classes is an important factor in registering' each stu- dent. 'l'ht-re is no student in school whose prograin Mr. Allison has not arranged. 'l'ln'oug'h his office come all contacts be- tween teacher, student. and parent. l urtln-r contact is maintained even after students lt-are school, tor almost every recent alunmus who applies for a jolx or continues his education must have his rec- ords sent from Mr. .-Xllison's office. l Mr. Allison From an area of five square miles in the center of Kankakee County come most of the students of Kankakee lligh. Since 1805, when the district was first organized, the city schools have been administered by a hoard of six members. Two ntcmhers are elected each August. President of the board is Mr. Alfred Beaumont: clerk, Mr. Ed Hoennicke. For students outside the district attend- ing Kankakee High, the school receives 3510.000 in tuition. The principal sources of financial support of the high school, how- ever. are local taxes and state aid. The yearly revenue of the city school system totals S.2.il.O0O. Of this amount, 52101300 is derived from local school tax and the rest from state funds. Board of Education S e a t e d left to right: Xlr. Mean- mont. Mr, Munson. Nlr.

Again the forty-some teachers of this insti- tution through the past thirty-nine weeks have tried to lead the more than one thousand stu- dents into paths of better understanding and added knowledge. The task. as before, hasn't been easy. Almost every student, however, has imprint- ed upon his mind one or more incidents that he has enjoyed with his teacher. liach teacher, likewise, will remember these faces for a long time to come. This is what made going to school a pleasure and not a drudgery. A new counselor to the students, but the renewal of old acquaintance for the faculty, was the new lfnglish teacher. Miss Marion lnkster. a graduate of this school in 1933. It has been said that a teacher doesn't and can't make a pupil learn. The student can only listen to what the instructor has to say or illustrate and then grasp the problem for himself. Seldom, therefore, does the teacher stand over each pupil trying by authority to drive knowledge into the learner's skull. Instead. there is a trend toward classroom democracy. with the teacher doing the guiding, but the pupil working to accomplish the actual learn- ing himself. That is the way the job of teaching is run at Kankakee High, where the chief aim of the teaching corps is to prepare every bov and girl for good citizenship and satisfying living. if And Frequently We Appreciate If Page 9
