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.

DEDICATIO ik iff ik This issue of the XYAIIAXYK is dedicated to an idea - that of lfducation Facing the Changing Social Order. Also to our principal, Mr. XYilliam XY. Gibson. because of our great admiration and respect for him, both as a man and as an educator. we dedicate this book. Le ,S CyllCl1 t91 Great was the vision and significance of The Children's Charter, submitted by the Presi- dent at the XYhite House Conference on Child Health and Protection in 1930, for it recog- nized the inalienable rights of children as the first rights of American citizenship. The group of national leaders who formulated this great document, pledged themselves to stand for and to stimulate such thoughts and action throughout the nation as would make pos- sible the realization of the broad humani- tarian principles of which it consisted. This ever-alert Knight of Protection guards the entrance of children into the Arch- way of Life. And as they follow the meander- ing pathways of life in the community and nation, their way is charted by the love, guidance, and protection of the home, the church, and the school. These key social institutions are partners with the community and nation in guaranteeing to each youth under the American Flag the right of whole- some development and the opportunity to live and enjoy a good life, Each child has a right to be well-born and to have the love, health, and security which a home provides. He has a right to that spir- itual and moral guidance of the church which will help him to stand firm under the pres- sure of life. He has a right to such education and guidance by the school as will make it possible for him to adjust himself to life, to explore and discover his interests and abili- ties, and to develop his individual abilities and capacities through analysis, information, and experience. Furthermore, the girl or boy is entitled to live in a community which recognizes and plans for his needs, protects him against physical dangers, moral hazards, and disease 3 provides him with safe and wholesome places for play and recreation, and makes provision for his cultural and social needs. The firm foundation for the welfare of each succeeding generation of society depends upon the carc- ful and continued preservation of its youth.
