MIHKOR Pro Extra-Curricular Activities Frequently one hears adverse criticism of extra-curricular-activities. It is said that gains derived from participation in outside activities are not great enough to offset the time and energy consumed therein. However, the objectives of education are changing fast. Educators no longer believe that book learning should be the only result of a high school education. No longer do they believe in testing students by what they can tell, but by what they can do, and by how well they can apply their knowledge. One of the most important of the desirable outcomes of an education is the development of good habits and interests. Hence extra-curricular activities such as athletics, debating, public speaking, dramatics, and music play an important part in our present educational system. By participating in these activities a student becomes interested in school and the school organizations, and thus has clean interests and entertainments that will aid in developing his or her personality and character. The purpose of athletics is to teach manliness and good sportsmanship. The various types of public speaking and dramatics give one practice in facing an audience and in expressing clearly one's thoughts and feelings. Debating gives one poise; it developes the mind and trains it in organizing clear, convincing speeches. Musical activities not only give one a good interest and a change to express himself while in high school, but they give one much enjoyment in later tile. Extra-curricular activities are fast gaining popularity over book knowledge in the high schools of the country. Although students should not let outside activities interfere with their obtaining a certain necessary amount of factual knowledge to serve as the raw material for thinking, they should participate in at least some of the extra-curricular activities in order to gain the desired ends which these afford.
