Recently, some patrons of America's schools have argued that extra-curricular activities surpass academic work in achieving these results. Basically this is false. The faculty of being able to solve social problems-the largest simple obligation of a future citizen-is only possessed by those trained in the fine art of adeptly using the intellect. In this area of preparation, the academic curriculum is supreme. It bears the same relation to the expansion of the faculties of the mind as gymnastic exercises bear to the im- proved use of muscular capacities. relaareb fha Kreafiue .fdgigfied Creation is one of the most satisfying experiences which any individual can have. In a world of mass production this fullest enjoyment may be forever denied. Man becomes a mere spectator. He never thrills to the personal sense of having created some- thing new. Herein, the school plays a definite role. Through scheduled classes and ex- tra-curricular clubs the student contacts activities which call out his personal capacities and prepare him for life-long experiences over and beyond his routine daily labors. So to the training of the mind is added that personal development of the creative arts which spell the formation of a versatile personality. 4
