1X mbzii tration This is Station R. H. S,. Seattle: station manager speaking, You will be interested to hear something of the year's achievements, especially as relating to the lives of the boys and girls of the school. A notable advance has been made in the effectiveness of our Student Coun- cil. Choice of members has been more discriminating: the general tone of its membership has been higher, and the effectiveness of its efforts more marked. The students as a whole are becoming more conscious of the purposes of the Council and of their obligation to support its program. That is the kind of co-operation for which pleas have been made from this station regularly for some years. The importunities are bearing more fruit. Students seem more responsive not alone to these pleas. but also to their own better impulses. It is fitting to enlarge upon this latter fact. A school as big as ours has to depend largely on the students' own good judgment. It would not be pos- sible to conduct such a school were it not for the self-direction and self-man- agement of so many of its students. That is as it should be. That is life in the making, and, of course, we ourselves are its chief architects. The more generally students learn to govern their own lives by heeding the still, small voice within. the more effective will become their education and the more completely will education accomplish its real purpose and justify the expenditures involved in its maintenance.

Broadly speaking, such duties as come under organization belong to the Vice-Principal in this school. However, he also assumes a share in administration which is the Principal's chief function.
