There never was a time when the High Schools met the needs of the pupil so well at the present time. Teachers never taught so well, buildings were never so completely equipped, and the public never so respon- sive as now. In spite of these facts there has never been a time when schools have been criticised so generally and so severely. While we have been building better and greater, adverse criticism threatens to thwart our best laid plans and schemes. These criticisms must be met. The best answer is to be able to point with pride to the spirit and the product of the school. What then is the Spirit of the School? It is that great unifying force, without which a school is but a name. It is that intangible, but necessary thing that makes teachers vibrant with enthusiasm of purposes and leadership and makes pupils thrill with the desire to k11ow and to do. It is that spirit in athletics that inspires students to do their best in training and in play. lt is that spirit that puts pep in the laggard. stiffens his backbone with encouragement and makes a winner out of a bench warmer. lt is that spirit that makes for the best possible school citizenship. It is that spirit of justice and fair play that makes friends of a defeated foe. lt is that spirit that defeat drives to greater effort. lt is that spirit that frowns on any dis- honest act. lt is that spirit that maketh alive and puts first things first. Give us the right spirit in the High School and no criticism can prevail against us. -Superintendent Van Ripcr.
