HA oz X936 PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF WEST 'WATERLOO HIGH SCHOOL, WATERLOO, IOWA 5 MCGEIOTI CICQS tl!!! C3 Clngiflg ocfal CQVJQV The spirit of Modern Education must main- tain the rapid pace which the Spirit of Modern Industry has set if social progress is to con- tinue. This wonderful structure of modern industrial civilization which we have built must rely for its strength and stability upon the keystone held by Modern Education. This mechanical age, filled with its many wonderful - yes, even almost miraculous - inventions and discoveries, has made possible a kind of life for all that would have been impossible even for the kings or the wealthi- est of the money lenders in generations gone by. Gone are many of the drudgeries of in- dustry, business and the home - gone, never to return. The increasing use of natural power has made it possible for the cogwheels of industry to liberate man from his economic shackles - the necessity of working long and hard in order to secure even the necessities of life. Man needs some relief if he is to get the most out of life and to make his greatest contribution to the common welfare. Modern man is now being provided this needed leisure. The span of man's working life has been shortened and will continue to be. Youth has largely been taken away from gainful em- ployment and therefore enters the world of occupations later. The age of retirement from active occupational life has been lowered. The working day and the working week have been shortened. This increased leisure time necessitates a shift in educational emphasis from mere preparation for making a living to preparation for living - the use of leisure time for enriching and ennobling life. The school must take the pupil as he is and prepare him for society as it is. Not only must the school educate for life as it is today, but also. for adaptability to constantly-recur ring new conditions, which will make pos- sible a better and more fruitful life tomorrow. The school must not falter in the all-impor- tant responsibility which society has placed upon it, or the future of American democracy will be jeopardized. Education must change to meet changing social and economic con- ditions. The type of education must be changed to meet the challenge of the times and the needs of modern youth. The modern school must be a distinctly different school than that of a generation ago, for Three-R education today would be horse-and-buggy education in a motor age. Life and society today are much more complex. The Spirit of Industry has moved so rapidly in bringing about the present order that many are unable to com- prehend the real significance of the changes wrought. The school of today, therefore, has a much bigger job in keeping abreast of the times and in interpreting the present order to both youth and adults in such manner as to make it possible for them to live the good life. The amount of education for each youth will be increased. If opportunities for gainful employment are not available, society must provide opportunities for youth to improve itself by better training for work which will come later, and for the important business of living, both now and later. Society is rapidly coming to recognize the close relation which exists between education. employment, and the public welfare. Adults are demanding educational opportunities in their new lei- sure, and adult education seems destined to become a very significant part of society'S educational program in the near future. The Childrenls Charter guarantees to childhood and youth the protection and guidance of the home, the church. and the school in securing an education. No society can long endure at a high degree of efhciency if it neglects the care and proper development of youth - its most priceless possessions - for the eternal debt of maturity to youth must be paid.

FGRE pt- px? ,fx ORD 3,4 This volume of the XYAIIAXYK has been edited with the thought in mind that our community would like to know what education is doing to keep abreast of the times. Transportation of every sort, whether in the air or on land and seal habits of living: forms of government-all have faced a radical change. lint what of the schools? liave they kept up with the parade or ahead of it? llave they kept faith with the pupil-the parents-the community? XYe believe that they have. and so by picture and story we show here what we believe to be one of the most interesting presentations ever to grace the pages of the XX'ahawk. Qu: ance . . . Guidance is the fountain head of the modern school which must assume the responsibility of providing for the whole life of youth, not merely the educational and vocational aspects of his life. Ethical, recreational, social, and health activities also play very important parts in the complete and wholesome life. The balance of relationsv implied by these facts, must be ingrained by the school through guidance. The American school, an institution which reaches practically every girl or boy, regardless of race, color, creed, or economic level, occupies the key position in providing this valuable service to society and its members. The school, through its curricular and extra-curricular programs, provides oppor- tunities for its pupils to become familiar with the desirable life practices in all these rela- tions and activities and for the pupils to try them out in life situations. The curriculum of the school has been greatly broadened in order to prepare the expanding school popu- lation to meet the demands of modern life, which are increasing in complexity. The extra-curricular program of the school has been extended to provide athletics, music, dramatics, clubs, and other activities for all, rather than for just the chosen few. Guidance, a form of systematic assistance which aims to lead to self-direction on the part of those receiving it, assists individuals in analyzing their interests and abilities, in securing full information regarding oppor- tunities which the school and community offer, and in making wise choices and deci- sions in keeping with these interests, abilities, and opportunities. A mechanized society, which adds greatly to the complexity of the economic and social order, demands guidance for both youth and adult in order that they may find a place wherein they may live a life of service to both self and society. Guidance is of great assist- ance to them in interpreting the opportunities and requirements of the increasingly numer- ous and specialized occupations in the world of work.
