Book excerpt: Excerpt from Making High School Life Count We live in an age when the world has become a neighborhood, and democracy hastens the day of human brotherhood. In a neighborhood, men must work, play, and live together; and the business of living together becomes of paramount interest. High school life furnishes many teen-age boys with some of their first lessons in this business of living together. This is true because of an inborn desire on the part of high school boys to associate with one another for the accomplishment of a common purpose, through clubs, social activities, organizations, and athletics. This fact furnishes the basic elements in the school community life and many splendid lessons in community living may be learned from it by high school boys. There is a real need of closer cooperation between school and actual life, and a need of reproducing real community life within the school. The pupils must learn that harsh and unyielding demands for one's rights are impossible in the school community. As Allen Hoben, in his book, "The Church School of Citizenship," says, "The fragrance of the American ideal is not that of a single flower, but rather the successful blend of many."
