CLACTON COLLEGE. 



A SCHOOL FOR BOYS AT CLACTONONSEA. 



HEAD MASTER: 



HAROLD PICTON, B.Sc. (Lond.) 



(Gold, Silver and Research Medallist of University College). 



Among the distinctive features of the School 

 are the following : 



1. The school aims first at training character. It does not aim 



with young boys at preparing for examinations, though 

 older boys are prepared for professional careers. 



2. The teaching of science is chiefly by the discovery method. 



3. The teaching of French is largely conversational. 



4. Mathematics is taught by concrete examples and as a tool 



for practical use. 



5. Latin is taught to all boys as a key to their own language, 



and to the older boys for professional examinations. 



6. In geography the boys are taught to infer commercial facts 



from physical features. 



7. In history they are made familiar with the life of the 



people and the changes in its outer manifestations, 



e.g. architecture. 

 S. There is no denominational teaching of religion, but respect 



is encouraged for all honest belief. 

 9. Discipline is kept with scarcely any detention. 



10. The report form evaluates the whole of the boy's activities, 



not merely his school work. 



11. Companionship of masters and boys is a fundamental 



principle of the school. 



12. An elective School Council decides all School Rules.
