"What worried Headmaster Rich- ards, however, was the way the big Elstern preparatory schools pulled the cream of Midwestern youngster! new“ the Alleghenies to school. He resolved that Lake Forest should Lake Forest academy's new study plan has already received favorable mention in a number of journals. In its "Edueation" department for the issue of August 18, 1930, the mega- zine, "Time" commented on it. An excerpts from the latter follows: Comment by "Time" "Notable among Midwestern schools toe boys is Lake Forest academy. Un- like its many neighboring institutions it is not a military school. Since 1858 it has seen Lake Forest, Ill. become Chicago's socialite suburb. As though embarrassed by surrounding opul. ence, L. F.

But no such em- barrassment is suffered by big-boned, energetic Headmaster John Wayne Rt c h a r d s, called “Big Dick" by younger faculty members and his 207 boys when out of earshot.

A's future brightened. "We were very 1eontident the plan would be a success, but we wanted to see it tried under fire and learn how much could be accomplished. The latter part of the past school year we tried the plan out thoroughly, and even with no more masters than our regular staff, and despite the disloca- tion incident to a change in plan dur. ing the course of a year, the results were beyond our expectations. So effective did the scheme prove that boys and masters and parents were enthusiastically in favor of adopting it on a permanent basis. Educators Approve "Deans and chairmen of commit- tees of admission of various univer- sities have given it a thorough study and have announced themselves " re- garding it as a real and great for- ward step in educational method." and enthusiasm for their work. It is said they endure it and submit to it as is sort of ditmrreeable necessity, that they do not learn how to apply themselves effectively and to prepsre to meet the problems of life that later will face them. No doubt much of this is true, and it is not all the fault of the students. I know that much can be done by the schools to remedy this situation, and we are working towisrd that highly desirable end at Lake Forest academy. Vision of Heal School "For a long time I have had a vision of the ideal school. We are now engaged in a program here which looks toward the fulfillment of that vision.
