Sometimes schools have been
accused of majoring on the ext
ra-curricular activities. This ex-
aggeration should not cause too
much alarm if the public will
keep in mind the purpose Of the
school, which is to produce in
dividuals who will properly take
their place in society.
The seniors of Green Sea High
School have just finished a mag
azine campaign from which they
nave not only gotten money but
also more self confidence. Mon
etarily, they surpassed their ST.
90 goal by 1925. In terms OF
confidence gained in selling, no
estimate can be made. This con-
fidence will be realized by the
student when he enters a voca-
ton. In all jobs, there is to- be
selling: the teacher must sell
education; the farmer his pro-
duce; and even the preacher his
religion. Remember when ap-
preached next year by a high
school magazine salesman, you
can provide yourself with good
literature, help the school fin
ancially, and give a boost OF
confidence to the man Of tomor-
row.
Today we hold high our free
doms in high esteem and will
not hesitate to give our lives for
them. Freedom from ignorance
can not be had by the sacrifice
of life must be won by gaining
knowledge. Reading other PEG
Piles thoughts ard thinking for
yourself are sure ways to gain
knowledge-but is not reading a
forgotten art. In Green Sea High
School it was found that 75T
Of the students read on a eighth
grade level. Realizing that read
ing is a basis for solving most
problems, the high school has
initiated a planned reading pro-
gram. The students under this
program will be trained in the
: following reading skills: (l)
; word meaning (2) total meaning
90 central thought (4) detailed
meaning (5) organization ano
(6) standardization. Progress OF
the student will be kept on 4
chart.
Quite often too much concern
is shown over the student who
can not read or the slow student
and not enough is shown to the
superior student. He needs en-
Icouragement; for most likely he
Twill change the world more thar
; the average student. One way
Green Sea recognized her super
Tor students is through the Beta

From these enthusiastically elite
officers have been chooser

Tommy Granger, Trea.; anc
