Shields SHLlcjIi School’s Contribution to CDemocracij There is no other factor or institution which will influence the lives of the young men and women of Shields High School more than the instruction and experience which they gain in this school. Realizing the truth of the statement, What you are to be , you are now becoming,” Shields High School has done much in preparing its students to live in a democracy. Teachers have helped the pupils to acquire good habits and to avoid bad ones. By proper stimuli, example, and inspiration the faculty has helped students to develop good habits of body, such as health instead of invalidism, skill instead of bungling, industry instead of laziness. Through the untiring help of the faculty the boys and girls have acquired good mental habits—accuracy instead of inaccuracy, zeal instead of indifference, success instead of failure. The young people have been stimu- lated to develop good social and moral habits, such as sincerity instead of pretense, sympathy instead of hate, tolerance instead of bigotry, peace instead of war. Today we can see how many parts of the world are suffering because their people have not been properly educated and trained to strive for peace and pro- gress. The present crisis abroad is the result of education which cultivated habits of fear, hate, intolerance, aggression, greed, and war. Shields High School has contributed its share to democracy by training its boys and girls to become fine men and women. The students have cultivated habits of sympathy, cooperation, and goodwill; of service and sacrifice for the common good; of joy and pride in good workmanship. More important than any particular course of education or subject of study in shaping our characters have been the personalities that surrounded us. The personalities of the teachers have played a large part in the development of the youth of Shields High School. The students of Shields High School value highly the experience and ever- lasting knowledge which their school has offered them. While they have been educated for discipline and information, they have also been educated for democracy. Thk Editor
