STUDENTS AND FACULTY Education aims to develop within the in- dividual a sense of responsibility for the improvement and upbuilding of the moral and social structure of mankirtdg to inte- grate knowledge, skills and abilities in such a manner as to secure the highest possible outputg to enable the individual to jind happiness in the struggle toward these ervdsf' -Thompson Webb Learning is pain But the acquisition of the civilized skills is incumbent upon us. lt is the purpose, not only of our school- ing, but of our youth, to base us in the methods, attitudes, and specific facts which must presently serve us. But learning is pain, and more painful-be cause still less natural-when it be- comes a conscious process, accelerated and made the object of routine exist- ence. More than simple academic learning, we must learn the ways of those around usp we must learn the manners of all conditions of men, we must learn the patterns of thought, selfish or noble, which will enable us to become citizens of the world. For each takes his place, to become a savior or one of the numer- ous damned. lf we can, we must correct the limping world, and at least we must survive. For this, we must be educated. A school is the place for education, and for our education, this school. We form a strange society Most fundamentally our lives are ordered by the cordial bat- tle of student vs. teacher. Yet we can- not separate those who teach and those who learn. Even the two classes of us are not distinct. We are all in it together. Certainly in theory the role of one is ac- tive, that of the other, passive. But no one can be simply taught , rather, he must be aided, coaxed, or coerced into self-education-this is the function of the teacher. The student must desire to learn. Where are the lines of battle drawn? The school at large is in open conspiracy to accomplish its purpose. It is an organism of the learned and the ignorant, working on a mysterious for- mula which somehow cannot be record- ed. Somehow, the work is done, by the catalyst of school life. The interaction of student and teacher is untraceable, but mighty. The year over, the work done or undone, graduates and students reappear.
