,f- ' ..-A -ilu-.J Headmaster Rather than list the achievements and awards of Peter A. Schwartz during this and previous years, this year's Raider will attempt to give a greater in- sight concerning his devotion to independent edu- cation and to education as a whole. We therefore present our headmaster's views on the role of the American independent school. Mr. Schwartz believes that the independent school serves as an indispensable educational alterna- tive. In order to maintain a free and democratic system, the possibility of choice must be maintained. Whether the decision ultimately rests with the public institution or the private school and its college oriented curriculum is immaterial to his total concept of education. The Headmaster believes a school such as Pem-Day stands for three things: basic education, personalized education, and full education. While a public school may assume that a student's training terminates with high school graduation, the Pem- Day curriculum has as its natural objective the continuance in college of the educational experience. Therefore, an independent school, such as ours, emphasizes education based on the age-old .academic disciplines. Mr. Schwartz believes that education can be achieved as much through student-teacher association as by class experience. Personalized education de- mands a low student-teacher ratio equivalent to our present system. It also asks the student to accept and capitalize on the experiences which the previous generation has undergone, a demand seldom found in modern education, but deemed by our headmaster as important as ever. Finally, the independent secondary school as- sumes responsibility for educating all aspects of a boy's character: spiritual, moral, and social, as well as intellectual. In conjunction with this, Mr. Schwartz emphasizes the importance of learning on the theoretical rather than the applied basis: Theo- retical education, although not as immediately ap- plicable, is necessary for the development of culture. It produces understanding, communication, and most importantly, the desire for achieving truth and goodness.
