1932 EC HO WAN A PERSONAL MESSAGE 1. Are you strengthening your character each day? 2. Do you grow hourly in personality? 3. What have you found arc the best aids in developing citizenship in our high school? 4. Have you kept up and improved your scholarship? 5. Arc you keeping physically and mentally fit? The answer to the five questions mentioned above arc very important, especially if each one can l e answered in the affirmative. A consideration of them involves the aims and objectives of a high school education. Each one overlaps the other to such a degree that they arc inseparable. The average hoy and girl in the home is often woefully heedless of good manners. If good manners do not begin at home they will not function 100 per cent in public, at dinner parties, or in the theater. Not enough attention is given to etiquette—etiquette of eating, etiquette on the street, etiquette at dances, etc. Each youth interested in developing personality should inquire of, or watch persons who know, or study the subject from such books as Emily Post's Etiquette Hooks. Dr. Randall J. Condon, the noted educator, says of character and citizenship: “Character is higher than intellect. The supreme end of education and life is the development of fine character and worthy citizenship; the things of the spirit are of the greatest concern in teaching.” A few students finish or leave high school worse than they were when they entered it, but the great majority strengthen their ability to decide for themselves and to choose lhe better things. Most of them arc well trained in honesty and respect for other people’s property. Student participation in school government develops leaders and leadership. The Student Council or I ligh School Senate made up of the leaders in the different classes is of tremendous service in bettering school conditions if the proper leadership is developed. The normal high school student is far ahead of the same aged factory worker or clerk, in character, morals, mentality, and physical fitness. Attendance in high school tends to inspire youths to greater effort, to cleaner living and to higher standards of efficiency. Personality or “it seems to be an inborn quality; at least, the capacity to develop personality seems to be inherited. But on the other hand much can be accomplished by the individual himself to improve his personality. Practice each day on these personal characteristics and you will at once begin to sec improvement in them: First, show every courtesy; second, demonstrate the power of kindness; third, think before speaking; fourth, cultivate the attribute of decision; fifth, show a willingness to do more than you arc expected to do; sixth, keep physical and mental poise; seventh, give generous sympathy in time of need; eighth, take real interest in people; ninth, remember a person’s name and use it; and last, be firm, but not too positive in manner. To keep physically and mentally fit one must not carry on to excess in anything. You must not over eat, over dress, or over-exercise. One should not take poison into the system in any form. He must keep happy, optimistic, and live in harmony with his neighbors, family, and friends. In conclusion, we wish our high school to reach all the children of high school age in our community. We wish to have our vocational guidance function so well that every young person is successfully and happily at work in some life vocation. We desire to give all our high school students definite practice in citizenship. We hope to so present the class work that each pupil becomes familiar with the great masters, the great discoveries, and the great achievements of the world, and we desire, finally, to present such opportunities to our high school students that they will greatly improve their personality, character, and scholarship.
