ELECTRON XJ' off? E believe young people should grow and develop physically, intellectually and spiritually.iWe believe that self-activity and personal experience are essential. We believe in the essential goodness, the potential power, and the great possibilities of youth. We believe that the boy or girl is greater than subject matter, theories, methods, and philosophies. We believe the school should gear its entire program to meet the needs of youth. The school environment-its organization, admini- stration and every phase of the school life should be such that the threefold individual can experience progress and development. We believe the student must do the learning himself, through his own efforts and activities. We believe that education is a continuous process from the begin- ning to the end of life and that it goes on outside of school walls as well as within schoolrooms. We believe that knowledge is fundamental. Facts-worthwhile facts- fknowledgej cannot be overlooked or discounted. We believe that knowledge is most worthwhile which helps one to live to the fullest today. Education is much more than learning. It is living. We believe that the best preparation for life is participation in life. We believe skills, habits. and attitudes constitute the greater part of one's education. We believe in the value of good literature and in the forming of good library habits. We believe that art, music and the various school activities should make large contributions to the social and recreational life of students. We firmly believe in the democratic way of life. We confirm our faith in American institutions and we believe the school should lead youth to respect and appreciate their heritage, realizing that no human institutions are perfect. Our way and our system present many problems that yet wait for better solutions. These problems constantly serve as challenges to thoughtful youth. We believe youth should be taught and drilled in the scientific method and approach in dealing with problems and situations. They should be so trained that they can meet the quack, the false advertisements, propaganda, and countless other influences that will prey upon them-see the cunning-the deception and conduct themselves as good Americans. We believe in that education which will help us make the worthwhile choices and prepare us for the happy useful life. Page Seventeen
