| dc.description.abstract | A large amount of attention is being given by leading educators at the present time looking towards betterment of secondary education in the United states. All phases of the high school --administration, supervision, teaching, offerings -- are being carefully scrutinized in the light of modern educational psychology and philosophy. New books are being written, new studies are being conducted, and a mass of information of various kinds is being collected. In spite of these studies and of the large amount of literature which has been developed, there seems to be comparatively very little written in the particular field of the small high school. As a result, the small school derives benefit from much of the literature only insofar as application of principles developed for the large school can be applied to the small school situation. A particular problem which has been neglected in current literature is that of the place of the club program in the small high school. A careful study of the literature reveals considerable discussion devoted to clubs in the larger schools, and a fair measure of space is given to many extracurricular activities in the small high schools. There is to be found, however, very little information on clubs which is directly applicable to the small school situation. In an attempt to make a worthwhile contribution toward meeting this need the present study is undertaken. The benefits to be derived from participation in a club program are fully as necessary to the all round development of the student in the small high school as in the large, perhaps more so, because of the lack of other facilities which are available to the pupils in the large school. To provide a means of making these benefits available to students in the small schools; To attempt to set up complete, practicable instructions and suggestions for initiating and conducting A satisfactory club program, these are the purposes of this thesis. | en_US |
