To THE CLASS OF 1924 At the request of the editors l am offering a statement for the l'iNIi IEVRR. It is a request for you to help make the aim of the l.incolnton High School more practical and the methods more business-like. l.et the aim be to develop the greatest possible mnnber of boys and girls into the highest type of useful citizens. .X good citizen is morally straight and physically fit, is a lover of good art, good nnisic, and good literature, and is a community booster. Xvell-trained citizens know how to make their pastime profitable as well as pleasant. lint of supreme importance is the training for the vocation one is to follow. Schools must begin to train toward the homes instead of away from them: girls must be taught to cook, to sew, and how to make good homes. lfor the boys and for the girls not domestically inclined the training should look toward the otlices, fields, and shops. 'llhey must be trained for some useful occupation rather than prepared for only the white-collar positions. The aim for cultural training is good but the practical must be emphasized more than it is at present. 'l'he idea is to make the school uf theory more like a miniature world for practice. 'I'he very small per cent. of pupils finishing the free high schools is a clear indication that the aim sought and the methods used are wrong. .Xn aim toward the practical will attract more pupils while improved methods will make the training more accessable. .X better method would offer the high school to adults in the evenings for household economics, commercial subjects, physical training. and amusements. llliterates could also be taught in evening classes. lior those ivho must help support the home, classes that work two weeks and go to school two weeks could be arranged. Klethods must be adopted that put the school in reach of the entire community. lfurthermore the method should be In train and not to grade boys and girls, to build health instead of tear it down. Un many girls and boys the strain is so terrible that for mental and physical reasons some are asked to stand aside as poor candidates, ever to be' labeled f1'111'.v'l1wl fw'otI11t'1'. The aims and methods must be improved. XX'ho can help do it? Xtho will help do it? ls it not a chance for you to help the schools in one of their real problems ? Cordially yours. li. D. ylonxsox.
