Aims and Objcctivcs
In any important work II Is mecca.
sary 10 have certain definite objec'
tiyes. feel that eau best serve
the people of Klamath Falls by strlv-
ing along the following lines:
To assist the school board In se-
curing and keeping the very best
teachers obtaipable.
To provide for such teachers the
best possible working conditions, TO
unity their efforts. to merit and win
their confidence, to make them con-
aud TO keep them at their
best.
To allow the initiative of teachers
full play. Teachers are not dictated
to as to methods CT teaching. We
expect satisfactory results from each
teacher. but she is placed very
largely upon her own responsibility
In securing such results.
The physical well being and com
fort OF the pupils Is Of primary i'm
portancc. and teachers are asked TO
make this one OF their first obJec-
lives.
Individual teaching as far as pos
siblc. versus class teaching. Is urged
as a strong objective.
Another thing that we emphasize

iIvidual differences between pupils.
II Is no more reasonable TO expect all
nuplls TO accomplish the same

and all that goes with IL I,
IS the first aim OF all teaching.
