PRINCIPAL G LEAVE’S MESSAGE Winston Gleave Principal I would like to reflect some of my thoughts as to what the Educational philos- ophies in the future are going to advocate. It is very likely that if the knowledge explosion continues, a student must assume more of the responsibility for his own education than he has done in the past. Many studies show that 50 percent of the students fail the college of their choice during the freshman year. The largest single reason is the inability of the student to properly handle free time. Modern philosophies will assume and demand that students are capable of meeting the challenge of using free time, to do research, to inquire and develop skills, talents and aptitudes for self improvements. This modern philosophy must assume that most students (as high as 95 percent) will attend schools without overt institutional coercion. As the students attend a school that clothes them with dignity of making choices concerning their educational future and expects them to live with these choices, they will waken to the meaning of education and help prepare themselves for their future rather than leaving it up to someone else. 7
