PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

The annual school meeting Will
be held Monday, March II, at
7:30 p. M, in the Lincoln High
School assembly room.
The high school basket bal
team is entered in the State tour.

week.
Miss Breene, Miss Fontaine,

The National Educational AS
ISOLATION has had a large commit
tee working six years on the
problem of reorganizing second
airy education. The committee
has Just presented its report
which is summarized as follows F.:
''Will the American high
school measure up to its new re
sponsibiities in an age seeking
for. democracy?
Secondary education is still
far from meeting the needs of
many important groups of young
persons.
The purpose Of democracy is
to organize society that each
member may develop his person
aGtv primarily thru activities
designed for the welI-being Of
his fellow members and of So
ciety as a whole. This definition
emphasizes efficiency, but in no
narrow sense. Efficiency in A
merica must be based upon an
appreciation of social values.
THE commission would focus
secondary education upon the
GREAT social detectives, such as
health, citizenship, vocation,
worthy use of leisure and ethi-
cal character.
Zone of the main problems Of
education in the reconstruction
period will be so to organize in
struction that it will apply more
directly and specifically to wor-
thy living in democratic society.
This implies no mean, narr0%.
bread and butter conception of
education.
THE commission takes adj
vanced ground with regard to
the admission of pupils to the
high school. The average pupil
