lion since 1040, but that this
summer millions of boys and
girls have taken vacation jobs in
practically every line of business
and industry. With money in their
pockets, how many of these
young people will Voluntarily re
sume school work? The govern
ment asks all national and local
organizations to cooperate in the
effort.
Youth are created different in
sex, different in color and differ
ent in mental and physical ca
pacities. Birth and environment
have made them intelligent or
dull, rich or poor, law abiding or
delinquent. These youths, all of
them, are to be the heirs and
trustees for all that is good or
bad in our civilization. What the
United States will achieve a gen
eration hence depends largely on
them and on their education now.
All Skills Needed
With all these individual dif
ferences it is difficult to pie
scribe a definite program of ecl
ucatun. However society makes
certain requirements of all youth,
and from an analysis of these re
quirements La Grande high school
can form a pattern of common
educational needs. As a pattern
I have found nothing belter than
the following 10 educational
needs of youth as expressed by
the National Association of Sec
ondary school principals:
1. All youth need to develop
salable skills.
2. All youth need to develop
and maintain good health and
physical fitness.
3. All youth need to under
stand the rights and duties of
I the citizen of a domocratic so-
ciety.
4. All youth need to under
stand the significance of the
family for the individual and
; society.
5. All youth need to know
how to purchase and use goods
and services intelligently.
6. All youth need to under
stand the influence of science
on human life.
7. All youth need to be able
to use their leisure lime well
and to budget it wisely.
8. All youth need to be able
to use an appreciation of liter
ature, art, music, and nature.
9. All youth need to develop
respect for other persons.
10. All youth need to grow
in their ability to think ration
ally. 1044-45

Willow School Toole
Part in Programs
For All Grades
Willow school participated this
past year in all activities common
to the other grade schools, such
as an athletic program, a hot
lunch program, scrap collections,
radio programs and stamp and
bond buying.
Through a program of guidance
in ..selecting books for leisure
time, children's enjoyment of
reading and to some extent their
skills in reading were Increased.
Mrs. Katherine Gregory of the
public library staff aided.
Willow cooperated with East
ern Oregon college of education
in a survey to discover the par
ticular needs of the children in
the school and to discover ways
in which the school could help
meet these needs.
In the first four grades a sur
vey was made by means of a
daily check sheet which was made
up by Miss Neva Neill and Miss
Virginia Lee.
. In the higher grades the survey
of health habits was made by
each individual pupil, using
graphs of various kinds to record
data.
A survey of the ways in which
they spent their leisure time re
vealed the fact that most of the
leisure time was spent in aimless
wandering from one neighbor
hood to the other. Since there
was a year-round program of
sports at school, this seemed to
take care of sports for the boys.
A great need for a gymnasius
was felt when children had to go
clear across town to another gym.
It was decided to give play
parties for the children of the
fifth, sixth and seventh grades.
John Miller provided a group of
four student-teachers to assist.
The Klondike gold rush took
place in 1898.' ...
