Philosophy of Education

The staff of teachers of the John
Bassett Moore School reaffirms its
faith in democracy as a political
form and as way of life. The
perpetuation of the ideals of our
democracy depends largely upon
the extent to which the activities
of our citizenry can be made effec-
tive through universal public edu-
cation. We believe, therefore, that
the main purpose of the secondary
school is to provide that general
education which is necessary as a
basis for effective participation in
a democratic society. The prime
concern of the school should be the
preparation of the individual to
take his place in the social scene.
This concept of the purpose of
the secondary school is based more
specifically on our agreement with
the following fundamental princi-
pies:
1. The determination of govern
mental policies shall be entrusted
to representatives of the people
such representatives to be chosen
by general election at regular in
tervals to insure responsiveness to
the will of the people.

z. Notnlng snail interfere with
private enterprise and the right to
own and enjoy property except the
requirements of the conservation
of natural resources. This principle
is not to be construed as a license
for the exploitation of labor.
8. All individuals shall have
equal opportunity to attain social
privilege and position.
4. 1t is the duty of each state to
provide schools of elementary and
secondary grade for all pupils not
mentally defective, and to provide
Legislation to secure attendance of
all pupils up to and including those
eighteen years of age.
5. 1t shall be the express duty of
such schools to plan for every pu-
pill as an individual an educational
program suited to his needs and
capabilities. The programs for all
pupils shall have specific aims; e.g.:
(a) To prepare the pupil to meet
changing conditions intelligently.
(b) To teach the ideal of service
for the mutual enrichment of pu-
pill and society.
(c) To teach meaning and pur-
pose of free public education as a
democratic concept, to the end that
there shall be an increasingly great
degree of cooperation between
alumni (the community and the
school.
AS educators who seek every
reasonable means to perfect the
science of teaching, we believe that
the school curricula should be SUBJ
jected to the closest scrutiny with
the purpose of providing:
1. Curricula suited to individual
capabilities.
2. Curricula in the determination
of which the student has been con-
suited.
8. Curricula organized in terms
of functional experiences.
A. A curriculum providing for
non-academic, as well as academic,
needs.
We believe that the school libr-
ary should be the center of its cul-
tural life, and that the enlarge
ment and enrichment of its stores
is prerequisite to successful pub
lie education.
We believe that public education
is not merely the imparting of in
formation but the guidance of each
pupil for complete social integra-
ton.

Interview With Robert L. Everett

Interview With Robert L. Everett
One of the additions to our fac
ulty this year is Mr.. Robert L.
Everett, an alumnus of Smyrna
High School. He was graduated
in 1886. In the fall of '36, he en-
tered Washington College and was
graduated in the class of 40. In
college he excelled in football, base
ball, and basketball. He was a
member of the All Maryland Base
ball Team for two years. He also
was a member of the Philadelphia
Athletics in 1910. In 1941 he be-
came a member of the Phillies at
Miami Beach, Florida. After COM
pleting a season with the Phillies,
he returned to this area where he
has since made his home. In 1916
he became principal of Kenton
School and teacher of grades 4, 5
and 6. In 1947 he returned once
more to Smyrna as a member of
our faculty. Mr.. Everett says he
hopes to produce a winning team,
with especially good prospects in
baseball. No matter how many
games we win or lose, we know the
entire student body will be behind
Mr.. Everett.

were firmly anchored in loose
plaster; he hardly noticed that
plaster dust was settling solidly
on his scalp; all he knew was
that he was kissing Lucy of the
swirling brown hair, and s'help
him nothing else mattered.
Just then a beam cracked
somewhere resoundingly and a
hurricane of plaster dust swept
them. Lucy chung to him and
said, What's that !What'sthat?"
He didn't know and he didn't

amused in tone.
Thank you," said Mr.. Dis

And the roadster dashed off
into fifteen miles of heavy traffic,
ten miles of lighter traffic, and
many miles of winding black
road, to house knee-deep in
fallen plaster, to sinks that didn't
drain, septic tanks that weren't
very septic.
Mr.. Murphy went back to his
room, which was very neat with
it's four plaster walls, its door to
an immaculate tiled bath, its
wheeled table offering orange
juice, scrambled eggs, bacon,
toast and coffee, so very much
like the very many wheeled
tables by the same sort of doors

The tank itself lay on its side
close to the half-dug hole. The
broken plaster and splintered

walked. Julian looked fearfully
at a loose beam overhead and
hoped it wouldn't fall and crush
her. 1t didn't.
She looked up at the split

ers doesn't haul off with a talk
that lacks but one thing to make
it honest and forceful-and that
lacking thing is an out-and out
mention by name of the country
at which it is aimed.
Avoid Direct Shot.
Every one knows that this coun-
try's big problem today is Russia.
Russia is the country that is block
ing, or trying to block, the Tru-
man plan, the Marshall plan, and
all the other plans which this coun-
try has conceived for the better
ment of the world. But what states
man, when putting it on the line,

dent Truman spoke on the Fourth

mentioned Russia by name He

snipers peeping at him from the
four corners of Lenin's tomb.
AS an American I hate to admit
it, but Russia leads us by two runs,
four field goals and six strokes,
when 1t comes to honesty. When
Russia's leaders speak they not only
call the United States the United
States, but, just to make sure that
there will be no mistaking what
country they are attacking, they
bound 1t on the east by the At
lantic, on the west by the Pacific,
on the north by Canada and Alaska,
and on the south by Cuba and
the Leeward Islands. They call us
capitalistic. imperialistic. no good,
getting worse and just plain awful.
Naturally, no American agrees
with them. All Americans-all real
Americans-know this isn't true:
Stain never pulled any punches.
Gronyko. every time he makes a
speech. swings from the floor. And
that goes for every other medium of
expression Russia has, including
Pravda, that great state paper
where, 1t seems. the only quail
f1cation a man needs to get job
is to be able to froth at the mouth
against the United States for "a
hours day.
Why Not Come Clean
Why-and this I would really like
to know-why Is 1t that the United
States can't come clean and say.
without mincing q single word. that
peace in this world cannot be
achieved unless Russia-RUSs1A
with all capital letters-quits trying
to mess up the works?
Any one with sense knows that
the Truman plan is based on de-
sire to help men and women who,
unless they are helped, will die. Any
one with sense knows that the
Marshall plan was born of sincere
desire to feed, clothe. and bring
decency to millions of lost souls.
If Russians won't aid in this pro-
gram, let us Americans tell them
that they must stand aside for the
forces of humanity.
If Russia says it won't stand aside,
then this country. as much as it
would loathe to have to seek the
last resort. must say:
"You will stand aside, or else"
Tough words. Yes. But, what
other And of words will Russia
listen to?
