Administration During The lasT decade Or Two, educaTional obiecTives have undergone a cOmpleTe TransTorma- Tion. Displacing The old idea ThaT educaTion consis'Ts OT The mechanical absOrpTiOn OT TacTs, The new Trend in The Tield OT Teaching seems raTher To insTill in The sTudenT The abiliTy To scan broadmind- edly The Topics OT The day, To accepT or reiecT ideas or cusToms Tor his reasons, noT Tor someone else'sq in shorT, TO Think Tor himselT. Ex-Pres'idenT Woodrow Wilson summed iT up concisely in his sTaTemenT: EducaTion consisTs in learning inrelligenr choice. Socially and economically The condi- Tion OT our cOunTry improves in proporTion as more emphasis is placed on clear, independenT Think- ing. World affairs are becoming more Thoroughly inves'TigaTed as our progressive modern meThOds and insTrucTors have iniluenced The generaTiOn OT young people To search Tor The TruTh. Perhaps nowhere else are The resulTs OT The modern educaTional Tendencies more in evidence Than in our high schools. WesT SeaTTle High is unusually TorTunaTe in having one OT The mosT pro- gressive TaculTies in our school s'ysTem, and The influence OT iTs leadership is reTlecTed in The spiriT OT The sTudenTs. Themselves unusually alerT To social and economic problems, our insTrucTors are doing praiseworThy work in awakening Their pupils To a sense OT responsibiliTy Toward such maTTers, and in inspiring The liberal, inquiring Thinking Through which universal broTherhoOd and world peace may be obTained. Peace among persons OT one Tamily, as well as The relaTion beTween men oT diTierenT naTions, may be esTablished only Through harmonious cooperaTion beTween The persons concerned. The TaculTy OT WesT SeaTTle High School, realizing This sTaTemenT To be True, have worked successrlully wiTh The sTudenT body, in brushing all disTurbances aside and reaching The pOinT where a general Teeling of peace is esTablished in our Own domain.

A. LYLE KAYE Vice Principal what are lhe Fine Fruits of Education? AbiliTy and opporTuniTy To earn a living doing well whaT we believe needs' To be done: a reasonable degree oT comTorTg some unhampered leisure To be exalTed by a TasTe Tor liTeraTure and music and arT, Tor Travel and sporTs and high hearTed advenTures in any oT a Thousand beck- oning Tields oT inTeresT and acTiviTy. WhaT is iT ThaT has blighTed The TruiT and seT our TeeTh on edge These lasT Tew years? De- pression, poverTy, disease and war have values and may bear some TruiT oTher Than The biTTer TruiT oT diTliculT living. They do noT make Tor The sorT oT progress which is our chieT concern and hope Tor The TuTure. ln The pasT, The longesT sTrides Toward a higher civilizaTion have been made in Times oT peace. SecuriTy, regulariTy oT work, a liberal amounT oT Time Tree Tor The culTivaTion oT The Tine arTs OT living have Tlowered inTo Those achievemenTs we graTeTully acknowledge as our priceless heriTage. WhaT can we do To insure peace Tor The TuTure? James l-larvey Robinson, The hisTorian, made The sTaTemenT years ago, ThaT we have available, knowledge and ingenuiTy and maTerial res'ources To make a Tar Tairer world Than ThaT in which we Tind ourselves. The increased supply oT all Three and The exisTence oT organizaTions dedicaTed To applying Them Tor our social salvaTion are a chal- lenge and The answer To our quesTion. NOT by sTriTe and suspicion, narrow naTionalism and preparaTion Tor conTlicT are we To suc- ceed. On The olher hand, a growTh of undersTanding and sympaThy, a willingness To join hands and cooperaTe wiTh every agency, naTional or inTernaTional, wisely inTenT on realizing The ideals oT a broader broTherhood cannoT Tail To speed us Toward our goal. LeT us inTorm ourselves, ThereTore, and Then us'e, inTelligenTly, The means and agencies included under The Terms ignorance, disease, crime, war. A. Lyle Kaye Page ll
