i T PAUL ELOSER, Php. l Superintendept of Public Schools The foundation of democracy lies in the eefucaition of its youth. NE might safely say that this is the theme upon' fyvhich Dr. Paul R. Loser, super- intendent of Trenton schools, has based the educational system of our city's schools. T i Dr. Loser's' foresight and ability to adapt the educational system to the present are manifest in the fact that he has asked schools to -stress physical education and shop training. . The key to Dr. Loser's success in the educational field can be found in one of his own observations: HSchools are people, at least as much as they are buildings. The boys and girls, the men and women, count far more than materials. One of the finest phases of the Trenton system is the earnest, conscientious attitude of principals and teachers toward studentsf' i Cooperation and understanding is the keynote of the relationship between student and teacher in Trenton High School. This reflection of Dr. Loser's Words is ample evidence of the completeness and sincerity with which he has executed his job. T iiii

This year, more than ever, the school was ' faced with the problem of making the students realize the seriousness of the pres- ent situation and their importance in the World of today. Dr. Paul R.

These courses were designed not only to prepare the boys for active service in the armed forces, but to equip the girls for Work in defense plants. Nor did he overlook the necessity of vigorous physical training, for the boys, particularly, will long remember their Hrst acquaintance with the obstacle courses. Frequently Dr. Spencer assembled the students, principally the members of the senior class, and urged them not to leave school Without their diplomas, explaining that the need for educated and intelligent citizens Will be greater in the post-War period than it has been at any other. time.
