V The T(ed Tird Each and every man should interest himself in public affairs. There is no pleasure in mere money. After it is acquired, one can use but a very small amount. It is given us to eat so much, to wear so much, and use so much shelter and comforts, and more we cannot use. When money has supplied these, its use, so far as the individual is concerned, is ended, and we must look still further and higher. It is only in public affairs, where money is a moving force toward the general welfare, that the possessor of it can possibly find pleasure, and that only in constantly doing more. The greatest good man can do is to cultivate himself, develop his powers, in order that he may be of greater service to mankind. BOARD OF EDUCATION

V V The T(ed Hird To the Youth of Our High School The school year 1934 35 marks the JOOth anniversary of the founding of the high school as an American institution. In its beginning the high school was intended merely as an institution of culture and refinement and was expected to serve only the children of the elite who were thought to need culture and refinement for their social activities. From such a beginning it has grown into an institution accepted as necessary for all the children of all the people. It is no longer an exclusive institution for the sons and daughters of the elite. Instead its doors of opportunity are wide open to the poorest in the land the same as to the wealthiest. In recent months there has been considerable controversy as to whether our present expenditure on high school education can be justified. There are those who think not, and are willing to break down the American high school as an institution for all of the children, and reserve secondary education for the moneyed aristocracy only. But fortunately there are still those who believe that the American educational system including the high school is the very foundation for the democracy in which we live. It is the only institution capable of adjusting the American youth to his rapidly changing environment. It is the only channel through which our boys and girls can become constructive units in the social order of which they must of necessity be a part. There are even those who believe that not only is the present expenditure on high school education justifiable but that much more money must be spent in the future so that a high school education may be brought to that part of our American youth that does not now receive it. They believe that if a portion of the nation's money which is now being spent to fight crime were being used instead to educate against crime there would be a great saving in the nation’s total expenditure for the two combined. American education is in the balance. If the children of the coming generation are to enjoy the same educational privileges which you children who are now in high school are enjoying, it will be only through your efforts in maintaining and expanding those privileges. The future of education is in the hands of you high school students of today May you make your present high school opportunities so vital and so essential in your lives as to leave no doubt concerning their justification either now or in the future.
