l it l AND C. B. MCLTNN THE The city is a hundred years old, Years are of moment only as they mark growth. Growth in What? In census records, in balance sheet, automobiles, factories? Or, in better living together, cleaner government, increased chances for youth, greater thirst for spiritual values? Or both? How can we test the achievement of a hundred years? The schools are older than the city, We can measure them only when we have chosen our yardl stick. Can We judge them by the money spenifor hy the quality of the product? The schools are the biggest business in the city. This year, We are spending 3S300,0UO lor new buildings, and nearly that much each year for operation.

It our yardstick shows gain in these, we may acclaim the years. fC. B. Mcliinn, .Qv SUPERTNTENDENT

gi At the Book Store MISS FREDA LANG Secretary Issuinq Admit Blanks STEPS into The ideology of the secondary school takes form from a traditional background, the local influences and exploratory needs of the time. The traditional background demands an education which liberalizes the humani- ties, prepares for advanced education of university calibre and thereby gives op- portunity for advanced use of the three R's developed in the elementary school. Local influence outlives the relationship of the community to the school, the activi- ties of the school life, and the social and moral standard the community demands of adolescent life. 41 lU,
