ExtraCurricular Activities In The High School
Author: Charles R. Foster

r 1925 JOHNSON PUBLISHING COMPANY Printed and Bound in the United States of America L. H. J. TO WILLIAM M. DAVIDSON Superintendent of the Pittsburgh Schools PREFACE Little material has heretofore been presented in the field of extra-curricular activities. This volume is the result of the writers efforts to gather practical material to present to... more » summer school classes in secondary administration and to high school teachers of a large city school system. After giving these courses for the past three years in the summer sessions of Colorado State Teachers College and in Extra-mural Classes of the University of Pittsburgh and Pennsylvania State College, the author decided to present in book form the substance of the material used in these classes for the benefit of teachers of education, high school teachers, and principals elsewhere. The writer believes that there is an intense interest in this phase of the secondary program at the present time and expresses the hope that this interest may grow so rapidly that educators everywhere will realize the importance of giving our boys and girls that fourfold development which they are entitled to have, namely, intel lectual, physical, spiritual, and social develop ment. There can be no doubt that the extra curricular activities contribute more to the spiritual and social development of the high vii viii PREFACE school student than any other phase of the high school program. The purpose of this volume is to place before the reader some underlying principles involved, with a few illustrations suggestive of possibili ties in the extra-curricular field, rather than to give detailed practices obtaining throughout the country. High school principals and teachers will find the book practical and workable because the suggestions have arisen out of actual school situations. Grateful acknowledgment is due to teachers and principals who have provided concrete material covering actual school practices and to Dr. William M. Davidson, Superintendent of the Pittsburgh Schools, for inspiration given to the author in his experimental efforts as a high school principal. The writer wishes to make special acknowledg ment to the Bureau of Education for bulletin material quoted and to Dr Thomas Brigga and Dr. E. K Fretwell, of Columbia University, for suggestions which have been used. It is im possible to express appreciation to many others who have contributed indirectly to the content of this book.
