Principal Explains
School Development

Future development of the school
program in Grantsville was discussed
by w. j. Glenn, Grantsviile High
school principal, at recent meeting
of the Grantsville Rotary club
The school, Glenn said, should be a
service center, concerned with helping
both students and adults. He declared
the school should be concerned with
development of the "whole child
rather than with only part Of stu
dents development.
He outlined three basic concepts in
furthering the school program: es-
Enlistment of class working re-
lationship of parents, students and
faculty; an attempt to interpret the
curriculum to interested persons, and
an understanding and acceptance of
curriculum practices.
Glenn also said the school must be
ready to experiment with social re-
lationships, and that it should develop
d feeling of security in its students,
and feeling of belonging in the
home, school and community in their
various activities.
