THE MUSSUL iihitnrialz Lockslcy, the leader of the lV00dsmcn, is the 0110 through whom we make our clzarges kzzowu. AN ECHO T home after the dignified hustle of graduation returned the words spoken in honor, He has done well. He has been faithful. They stirred his heart to a quicker, prouder beat, they squared his shouldersg they sent him forth into the world with a strange new feeling of confi- dence in himself. And then a wall, a diffi- cult barrier to cross-the words which gave him strength struck hard and came back to his ears in an echo, He has been faithful. The barrier was crossed, but the echo still rang in his ears. It was his chance, his opportunity to live a life worth- while. All obstacles were crossed and the path of temptation left behind. He painted faces and he painted thus that the radiance and goodness of his Master Artist were re- flected in the expressions he made. A genius, men called him. His life lied fast from him, and when he reached the wall of Death, those beautiful words came back as clear as the example he had set and reverberated in the hearts of many, Al- ways faithfulf' So may it be! UNSQUIT 5 EDUCATloN's NEW DEAL AT STRONG HE trump card in education's New Deal to Strong High School is the General Course. With the beginning of school last Sep- tember came the announcement that a com- plete unit of work consisting of four years of regular English, four years of practical mathematics or business preparatory sub- jects, four years of natural science, and four years of social science was open to the local boys and girls who did not wish to take the usual college preparatory work. This part of the course of studies was be- gun in an experimental way several years ago in answer to a long-felt need for high school studies of a more practical nature that would more definitely help students to prepare for their later life as citizens. Among the subjects in this complete General Course mention should be made of junior Business Training which sketches the essentials of modern business life, of General Mathematics which deals with arithmetic as applied to everyday life in the fields of investments, insurance, and taxes, and of VVorld History which aims to pro- vide a short and convenient way of survey- ing the whole story of mankind in order to

6 THE MUSSUL UNSQUIT bring out the causes, effects, and inter- relationships which are determining what our world is today. Business Law teaches the essentials of businesslike procedure that should be known to every- modern man and womang General Science gives us a back- ground of understanding of the marvelous world of invention and discoveryg and in Civics and the Problems of Democracy the issues of government and group living are placed before us for discussion and consid- eration. It is expected that a course in simple, elementary bookkeeping may be added next fall to supplement this unit of work. This General Course at once became very popular with the pupils of all classes. Although this work is entirely different from the hard grind of the regular college preparatory course, it has its definite aims to serve the pupil's immediate needs. However, those who enter the high school, hereafter, should be careful to choose the right unit of work. The colleges still have peculiar, individual requirements which must be carefully met, and it would be difficult to change from the General Course back into college preparatory work without the loss of credits. On the other hand the students of the General Course can enter business schools, nurses' training schools, normal schools and similar institutions of learning without additional subjects. A BOOK BOOK is a book-nothing more! Is this true? Is this what we con- sider our greatest artists' works in litera- ture? No, an author is an artist who paints word pictures. Open a book and the lines of letters turn themselves upside down: they form grand mountains with snow capped peaks: they bounce all to- gether and make rolling plains with wav- ing grain fields. This is the background. In front are Hgures, real and living, work- ing and playing, with beauty all about them. Let us read, let us follow the example of the hero, shun that of the villain. A fairyland which teaches life- this is a book. ' C. W. A. AND S. H. S. UCI-I criticism has been directed against the Civil Works Adminis- tration and the other allied agencies of the Federal Government in its drive to end the depression. Whether such objections are deserved or whether they are unwarranted is beyond the comprehension of most indi- viduals. Yet the fact remains that the re- pairs and the improvements which have been completed at the schoolhouse would not have been done for a number of years, if at all, unless the labor costs had been cared for by the national government. Under present economic conditions the town alone could not have financed these projects: the English room, laboratory and library have been completely refinished with muresco on the walls and oil paint on the woodwork, the first and second floor halls have been redecoratedg all the seats and desks throughout the building have been cleaned and varnishedg a new book cupboard has been constructed for the high school as well as shelves and cupboards for the gradesg all the windows have been re- paired and tightened to make savings in heating another winterg the tables and chairs in the lunchroom have been repaired and painted in such a way as to make this room useful for a playroom during the winter monthsg and, perhaps, most im- portant of all, the basement and toilet facilities have been modernized to the full- est extent possible under prevailing con- ditions. Although the history classes may debate at length the wisdom or the folly of the policies of the Roosevelt administration, the positive good done to the physical plant which is the Strong school building cannot be discounted. Furthermore, the American plan of helping the needy in return for work on projects which are for the benefit of all appears far superior to the English dole method of outright gifts to the poor with no commensurate return to the com- munity.
