 would call your attention to ] tl1an anything else is the ser- hfch we, here In New Britain 3chool, owe to the school and 3 communfty. This has been olive back of tlie policy of the 4tration of tho school ever the administration started, the Fa to fit for service, the motive pressing upon all who may be Ears of this institution, the pro-
 the necessity, the opportunity, } ne privilege of service.
 B. H. S. Stands for Service.
 Et this underlying motive and chief object of the school has more or less hidden. We have bd to lay chief importance, per- upon scholarship, upon record k kolarship and perhaps. we have nd to emphasize misdemeanors, |nes of discipline, and offences at the good order of the school. a long troubled me because we seemed to call attention to our and our opportunity for service in this negative way. 1t has seemed to me that we should do thing in the school to impress nly upon members of the school. pom the community and the out world, the fact that the New Bri- High school stands for service.
