A PEDAGOGIC CREED

I Believe that

— the only true education comes through the stimu-lation of the child's powers by the demands of the socialsituations in which he finds himself.

— the child's own instincts and powers furnish the ma-terial and give the starting-point for all education.

— to prepare the child for the future life means to givehim command of himself; it means so to train him thathe will have the full and ready use of all his capacities.

— education is a process of living and not a preparationfor future living.

— the best and deepest moral training is precisely thatwhich one gets through having to enter into proper rela-tions with others in a unity of work and thought.

— thinking is the method of intelligent learning, oflearning that employs and rewards mind.

— only by being true to the full growth of all the indi-viduals who make it up, can society by any chance betrue to itself.

SENIOR SONG

"If You Believe" by Charlie Smalls

If you believeWithin your heart you'll knowThat no one can changeThe path that you must go.

Believe what you feelAnd know you're right becauseThe time will come aroundWhen you'll say it's yours.

Believe there's a reason to beBelieve you can make time stand still;And know from the moment you try.If you believe, I know you will.

Believe in yourself right from the startBelieve in the magic that's inside your heartBelieve all these thingsNot because I told you to

But believe in yourselfIf you believe in yourselfJust believe in yourselfAs I believe in you.

Believe there's a reason to beBelieve you can make time stand still;And you know from the moment you try.If you believe, I know you will.

Believe in yourself right from the start;And you will have brainsAnd you'll have a heartAnd you will have courage to last yourWhole life through.

If you believe in yourself.If you believe in yourself.If you believe in yourself.Maybe you can believe in me too.
