.flulzetintendent .4 Uffice This is the year, on January 7, 1954, that our president, Dwight D. Eisenhower expressed in his State of the Union message this thought: nYouth--our greatest resource--is being seriously neglected in a vital respect. The nation as a whole is not preparing teachers or building schools fast enough to keep up with the increase in our population ..... In order to appraise the needs, I hope that this year a conference on education will be held in each state, culminating in a national conference. From these conferences on education, every level of government--from the Federal Government to each local school board--should gain the information with which to attack this serious prob1em.u It will be interesting to see how these problems have been met a few years hence when the population of our schools has reached the enormous enrollment predicted. Will our buildings be adequate? Will enbugh yo ng people of good, wholesome charac- ter and outstanding personality have gone into the teaching profession to oHer adequate education for each child to meet his problems as a member of society and as a citizen in his community? Locally, we are working toward this goal by constructing buildings and sponsoring our Future Teachers of America Club. We hope we have labored with foresight and wisdom. Ciqde W. Kuwiq Superintendent of Schools

Neither the anyone else can educate activities of students, potential, are them- instrumentalities of response to teacher nor youths. The actual and selves the education. If the school can aHect these activities, it can be effective as an educational institution. Teachers everywhere are compel- led to recognize and provide for the adolescent children who will inevitably carry on the industrial, scientific, commercial, political and civic activities of society during the decades to cone.
