' In the educational program "f mir ?4? great -Republic ihere aie certain philosophies which have been generally accepted.?The first philosophy is thai : education shall be democratic. As far back as the beginning of the twentieth century the writer has had a-personal knowledge of the fact that Harbison Agricultural and Industial Institute has kept an open door to young men of any educational level; U Ll " * * xiumoieness or tnrth or Jack of fflOli-? ey has not closed, a single _door so long as there has been a vacant room The lat.chstrings have always been on the outside io .those of moral worth who have desired the better things of life and who have been willing to work for .them. The fees for room, board ancl scholastic opportunities have always been kept at a minimum, and opportunity has always been provided for ~ earning a good.portion?and in spicial cases?all of ithese. .Individual distinction has hpen m ride?only?by achievement.* Once upon Harbison's campus, equal educational opportiu nities have been found. Knowing the present administration a, I do, I feel safe in saying-that this philosophy , shall continue to be the program of our instiuttion. ... _ _ . Learning to do. by doine is also a erreat educational' philosophy held by Harbison. Through the yea*4*>, pn account of our georgraphicai situation and economic surrrouriirtgs, Harbi-" son has been able to give its students opportunities for creative activities which have been denied many other schools of similar grade. The outstanding contribution of the student industry is the opportunity they have provided for self-expression and creative activity. All of the work of the institution is done by our boys, from sweeping the flobrs to preparing' the food, and repairing and painting the buildings. Another fundamental philosophy which Harhisnn pmnhasi'P" educational program is that edueaiion'shall tfeatfh.the dignity of laboi and the sacredne'ss of every job necessary in the social order of a dem-. ocracy. While it is true our labor program gives "earnings for learnlngs," 'the mope inipurtaii.i contrr "oution is that it gi\es "learnings in In preparing the land for the vegetables,, in cultivating the general farm, in balancing rations for the farm animals, in repairing furniture, and in painting the buildings, students of Harbison are not only getting skill and technique, but they are coming in contact with numerous vocations which help them discover unknown abilities; Again, we believe ithat, it is a . soifful philosophy that education must ? be adapted to the needs of the learner. Many, I might say most", of the young men and boys on our campus arc from the lural districts of North. ? ? Carolina, Suulh Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Our aim is to adapt our progrdm to their needs, whatever the level of their educational progress. Fitting schooling to the needs of the learner is made an oujeiri of special study at Harbison. To this end we uITki a?uaianced urogram?of?voca. tional and cultural studies. Our vpcational studies will be made more -practical when our new industrial building comes, which, *1 understand,, is in the near future. Stijl another principle Harbisoh holds as fundamental is that "educaf ir??i mticf tv01 U?> ls/\*vto uvu *liwov v-iciiii iy.1 wvjiiujr uuiuc' membership. At no time ir\, the history of our nation was this philosophy more important. , My people in ' the South are homeloving. They go away only when circumstances force ?-them.?This?is fortunate, for?the South, and for the nation as' well. There is no section in the country w+rere~there is greater k>ve for-famU Titles. Hui'bisun, by special train ?*? ing of the boys in caring fob the dor- " ' mitories, makes a significant contri- ' * button to promoting worthy home membership. In fact, the entire'life of the institution might W?H be considered. , a family in the training..'-" Prizes are-offered te-^he -young men who I have the year acounu best kepi rooms. ??-?*-=?.?,? Fn.ally, a-great phiio. ophy accepted by our nation and adopted by Harbison is that education shall make available to, our citizenship the cul-, turah inheritance of mankind. Living in th<? isolation of the rural South U W do, and Tiandicappod by "the economic and educational baffriers, the boys, especially those of my group have not shared the cultural'inheritance of civilization that is rightly theirs. Harbison Agricultural and Industrial Institute early sensed these Lr> nn/1 f Ln+ f Vi/\ Lnr uaiiuitaps auu piupwacu kiiai i-uc u w jr 3 and young men of this great section which it serves should have greater cultural advantages. " Itr would be difficult to find a region more beautiful than the South. The streams: the forests, the flowers, birds, the sunrises, the sunsets- all are the are the glories of nature.' The beauty is there in abundance, but one must be schooled to see it. "The "works of "God are fair for naught unless the eve in seeing, sees hidden in the thing the. thought that animates its being." Harbison endeavor? to creace within its student^ a' love for the beautiful. It provides a beautiful campus, and tries to keep it clean and lovely. (Continued on Page 4)
