Teachers should keep well informed on materials and methods accepting no one authority as final in educational matters, but through study and experimentation, arrive at the best teaching methods for our particular time and place. Faculty cooperation and friendly relations between teachers between teachers and parents are fundamental requirements for successful teaching. R ealizing that the welfare of the child is the basic purpose of the school and society, we believe that the home, the school, and the community must work together as a team to achieve the maximum understanding and benefits for each boy and girl. W e believe in the field of education, that we must have faith in living and working together for the common good. W e believe cooperation is one of the basic processes of democratic life.
W e believe in respect for a human personality.
W e believe in the use of intelligence as a means of improving social life. While teachers must have experience in recognizing conditions as they exist, they should be able to envision a richer type of human life, made possible by their own cooperative action. W e believe the only way in which one human can properly attempt to influence another is the encouraging of him to think for himself, instead of endeavoring to instill ready-made opinions into his head. The above can only be achieved by a flexible, realistic program built on sincerity and understanding. We believe that this can be accomplished through proper nurturing and a quality education.
