Willard E. Goslin came to Minneapolis from Missouri in 1944 to become Superintendent of Minneapolis schools. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in education, he went to Slater, Missouri, as principal. A year later he became superintendent of schools there. His master's degree was received from the University of Missouri. Mr. Goslin says that public education should realize that the whole child comes to school. Therefore, teachers should contribute to his bodily growth. Mental health and emotional stability must also be promoted. Mr. Goslin believes firmly that the prime objective of education is the teaching of democracy as a way of life. Mr. Goslin has won admiration from all the students and faculty of Roosevelt High School. WILLARD E. GOSLIN SUPERINTENDENT OF MINNEAPOLIS SCHOOLS PRINCIPAL OF ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL William P. von Levern came to Roosevelt in 1924. He was assistant principal until 1934 when he became principal at Lincoln Junior High. He returned to Roosevelt as principal in 1939. To Mr. von Levern the outstanding thing at Roosevelt is our system of Student Government. It was organized in 1925 by him and continued to grow more and more after he became principal. It was organized because he felt the need for giving students practice in a democratic form of government in school, experience in leadership, and practice in self control. Now under way is the building of a youth center started by Mr. von Levern and the P.T.S.A. as a memorial for the boys fighting in this war. WILLIAM P. VON LEVERN [123

Dagwood feels that both he and the dog must feel right toward each other and toward the job to be done, and not until they are both ready will he begin lessons. r y
