Freedom of Expression History is merely a record of the status' of man in regards to his freedom. Some periods are niarleed by advances in freedom and others by the suppression of freeonz. I t is a word of many nzeanings but a man is more completely free when he can express himself as he desires. Dur- ing the last few hundred years common man has been prevented from expressing himself by political pressure or by being denied the use of a language. For many years most people could neither read nor write and the result was a dearth of understanding and expression. The history of religious expression is a bloody one and seems to have represented anything but those ideals on which religion is based. Half of Europe's wars have been the result of a desire for free expression in religion. At the present time nien are being killed for nzerely expressing their political ideas. In the European countries a man must look to the right and left before he speaks for fear that he might say the wrong thing to the wrong person. It is a deplorable condition. In Clymer High School there is a definite attempt to produce in- dividuals free enough to express themselves. The first step is to give them the proper tools in form of the languages. Art courses are avail- able to those people that need cultural outlet. It is hoped that with nzore freedom of expression there will devlop a tolerance of the opinions and tastes of other peoples. This is the only way to a peaceful world. 23
