llIllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllll THE STRENUOUS LIFE llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllIlllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll The Principals Foreword A stationary organization in a moving world courts disaster. The high schools of the country are in no immediate danger of disaster. They are anything but stationary. Activity is the most pronounced characteristic of young people, and they see to it that it is given ample expression. Of all organizations the High School is one of the most active. The direction of these activities into proper channels, therefore, and not their multiplication, is the problem of chief concern for high school administrators. This volume is a graphic record of these many activities. They reveal a highly organized corporate life. In a large measure this corporate life is responsible for the growth of high schools and their holding power. It offers boys and girls opportunities for self-expression, increases their interests, and helps to motivate their school work. By approximating more closely the activities of the world outside the schoolroom, the corporate life of the school creates a miniature world for the young people, adding reality to their work. The socializing influence of these activities is reaching down into the class- rooms. The project method, the socialized recitation and other modern classroom practices are the direct result of the recognition of the beneficent effects of the co-operative life outside of the classroom. The more such co-Operation is understood and appreciated the better will it be controlled and directed into channels of greater significance. All of which will necessarily result in more useful organizations, in better instruction, in a higher morale, and, consequently, in schools of finer quality, turning out an ever-increasing number of up-standing and self-reliant young men and women, better trained to face the world and understand their work therein. page seventeen
