He/she should be provided with the guideance which will insure, as far as is humanly possible, his/her growth in the understanding of knowledge, improvement and refinement of acquired skills and habits and the smooth transition into a highly complex and mobil society.

These experiences, when aquired, should help the student to develop a philosophy of life which, when based upon a recognition of his/her relationship with his/her fellow men/women, will produce a desirable end product.
