CO TE BOOK ONE BOOK TWO BOOK THREE BOOK FOUR The American school, through the Doorway of Individualized Instruction, unfolds to youth the opportunities of life which lie ahead. The school must inform the student of the curricular and extra-curricular oppor- tunities which exist in the educational world 3 and of the occupational opportunities to be found in the world of work which he will enter later. The school must point out the pathways leading to these opportunities, showing the qualifications and preparation necessary for successful participation in them. The modern school assumes the responsi- bility for making a careful study of each youth who enters its doors, in order that it may be better able to adapt its curricular and extra-curricular offerings and guidance serv- ices to the interests, abilities, and capacities of the student. Modern education endeavors to provide in the fullest possible way for the varied needs of its students, rather than in- sisting that every student, regardless of ADMINISTRATION CLASSES ORGANIZATIONS ATHLETICS type, conform to the same rigid academic standards. In studying the student, the school must first ascertain the nature and extent of his adjustment to the work and life of the school Q it must analyze his record of scholarship and participation in extra-curricular activities, it must discover as well as possible, through psychological tests, the amount and type of mental ability and capacity possessed by him g and it must learn something of his out-of- school life and home environment. After the school has pointed out the edu- cational and occupational opportunities avail- able, and has discovered the strengths and weaknesses of each of its students, it must provide such counseling as will help each student to avail himself of those opportuni- ties which are most in keeping with his inter- ests, abilities, and capacities. The student has a right to this service and he should co- operate with the school to the fullest extent in its provision, if he is to attain his broadest development and that greatest of life's satis- factions - a consciousness of work well done. EDUCATION IS EACING, AND IS MEETING SUCCESSFULLY, THE CHANGING SOCIAL ORDER.
