There are two popular fallacies concerning public school education-one of recent origin, the other traditional, but both resting upon assumptions wholly unwarranted. Fiftyfsix teachers and two thousand pupils! cry the critics. Schools have become factories applying the prinf ciple of mass production! Standardization must inevitably result. And they sigh for the ideal school with Mark Hopf kins on one end of a log and James A. Garfield on the other. Twelve EMMA FINLY Dislikes most her most exacting task-averaging the Senior A grades. MARIE KRAMCHAK She knows our sins and shortcornf ings and the inside story of all our shady deals. She is strong for movies, dancing,'an lbridge. EARL M. MCCASKEY The coach who never attempts to keep his trousers in press during a basketball season. He hears one opera each year. FRANKIE SMITH Finds her interests in girls and outdoor sports. ISABEL KANANEN Enjoys hiking, nature study, and outdoor sports but can't stand sight of spiders or snakes. MARJORIE AHRENS Is interested in making a collecf tion of rocks and minerals. M. V. MCGILL Boys and flowers are his hobbies -mostly boys. Worked with the Boy Scouts in college.

Friend f Counsellor f Educator f Gentleman P. C. Bunn-the name the citizens of Lorain have assof ciated with the interesting growth and progress of the city's one public Senior High School during the past eighteen years. As principal he has seen the school to which he came in 1914 grow from one of three hundred fortyffive students to one of two thousand. Keen interest in youth, wisdom and understanding in emergencies, vision and efficiency as an executive, and a progressive attitude toward school problems combine well in making him the highly respected, wellfliked figure he is.

HELEN EDDY Majored in English and concen' trated on steak roasts in college. Is interested in Flemish and Italf ian painting and architecture. To the casual observer, such a comment might seem justif fied. Any teacher knows, however, that the educational process is not so simple as factory management. Pupils are not run through huge presses to be turned out considerably flattened but neatly folded and ready for distribution throughout the world. Still less is every child assembled with each teacher affixing his special bolt or screw and guarf anteeing that the resultant machine will have so much speed if given proper care. Thirteen
