October 12, 1928 WILMETT'E LIFE 31. EXPLAINS PURPOSES OF SECONDARY .EDUCATION· Superintendent Frederick E. Clerk Cites· Objectives of Study at New Trier High Few people, perhaps, have seriously considered the reasons for ·s ending their boys and girls to high school. Beyond expecting that it should get their children ready for college or for a good position in business, they have not inquired as to just what the purpose of secondary ·education might be, or what they had a right to expect of the high school. Frederick E . Clerk, superintendent of New Trier High school in a recent statement outlined the purpose of a high school education and explained what the people of the north shore have a right to expect New Trier High school shall do for their children. Process of Growth "Education," said Mr. Clerk, "is a process of growth." While it is a preparation for college and for life, it is more than that. During the four years that a pupil spends in high school, he is living and growing through one of the most vitally important periods of his life. Both mentally and physically he is forming habits and gathering ideas that will always affect him. Consequently, we believe in helping our students to so live and grow that they shall get the most of life while they are living it, .both now and in the future. "To do this, the high school must cooperate with the home in accomplishing the following objectives: "1. Teaching the pupil a vocation, or fitting him for further preparation in college. Develop Citizenship "2. Helping the pupil become a good cit; .. ~ n of his city, state, and nation. "..>. Preparing him to live as a worthy member of a real American home. "4. Making him a master of both spoken and written English so that he may clearly and forcefully express himself; and teaching him to think logically for himself. "5. Safeguarding his health and promoting habits of healthy living. "6. Developing habits of rightly spending his leisure time, through arousing an appreciation of literature, music, drama, and art, and through a proper development of the sodal side of his nature. "7. Encouraging and developing the growth of ethical character. "All of these objectives are important and with a sane and living philosophy of education, we want to help every pupil in New Trier to attain them."
