Miss Reynolds had the right idea when she encouraged the formation of
school organizations, but she failed to realize that the activities of
such societies should be tactfully supervised by teacher and principal,
under the direction of leaders who have the interests of the society at
heart and who will lend their good judgment to its best development;
such an organization may be depended upon as a standard of conduct on
all questions which affect the name of the school. Unguided
organizations are the source of many of the evil tendencies in school
life.
