Our Program and Our Purpose Bulkeley School has adopted a program of objectives in the education of boys as suggested by an anonymous teacher-mother in a statement of what she wished a modem high school to include in the training of her son. Bulkeley school ivill strive to provide this ideal training for your boy as follows: “First: Straight thinking. He must face facts as they are, must not warp nor contort them to his own advantage. Train him to pursue a course of thinking to the most logical conclusion possible for him. Teach him that it is cowardly to abandon a thread of reasoning because it runs afoul of his preconceived convictions—cowardly to evade or to omit the truth that threatens his own ends or desires. “Second: Open his eyes to beauty. Lead him to ‘see’ a well turned thought, a beautiful painting; to feel exquisite harmonies—encourage him to prize spiritual values. “Third: He must respect the abilities—consider the rights of others. Teach him that there are no superiorities save of merit service achievement; that there is no superiority so despicable as that which grinds doicn the defenseless. “Fourth: Make accessible to him all that history offers of man’s strivings and the outcome of these efforts that he may have some guides toward formulating his own lines of action. Teach him to find out things for himself, and show him where information may be found. “Fifth: Guide but not coerce him in his search to discover that task which will make him happiest in the executing. When he has found this thing which he likes best to do set him in the way of learning to do it well.” Homer K. Underwood, Headmaster. Page fourteen
