616440 ' EDWARD J. STAPLETON That her people may he strong and ejieient citizens, Holyoke builds this Temple of Science, Literature, Industry and Art. You shall know the Truth, and Truth shall make you Freef, These inscriptions, carved in marble over the entrance of Holyoke High School, symbolize the purpose and ideals, not only of education, but of democracy itself. Freedom and education are essen- tial to democracy. Th truth shall make us free, and we shall learn the truth by proper education, the cement that holds Hrm the structure of democracy is education, and the foundation is freedom. These two, freedom and education, thus so closely linked, will strengthen and perpetuate our democratic form of government. The chief purpose of education in a republic is to instruct the people in order that they may as- sume the responsibilities of citizenship. It is necessary that the citizens of a nation should be conscious of their duties as well as their privileges. They should be trained in the fundamentals of citizenship, and it is through education that the best qualities of a citizen can be brought to the foreground. Amer- ican citizenship is indeed a great privilege and a great honor, but with every right there is a responsibil- ity. Our freedom can be maintained only by eternal vigilance. It is therefore our duty as citizens ever to be watchful for dangers which may threaten this precious freedom. It is also our duty to manifest an intelligent interest in our government, to select public officials carefully, and to perform all the ob- ligations of citizenship in a worthy manner. Democracy today is on trial before the world. We have seen several nations abandon democratic government in favor of dictatorship. In these countries the school is merely an instrument for political purposes. Education is used to indoctrinate the masses in order to mould and shape the minds and spirit of the people in accordance with the ideals of the state. Students in these countries have little or no liberty of thought, they know only one side of the case--that side which their government wishes them to know. In a democracy we are taught how to thinkg in a country where an autocratic form of government prevails, they are taught what to think. The ability to discriminate, to distinguish that which is right from that which is wrong, the wisdom to choose between the true and the false are qualities which we must foster at all times. Our education should help us to discover the truth, reason and logic must point the way. We, the youth of America, face a grave situation. Ours is the world's greatest experiment in democracy, and the world has thrown a challenge to us. There are dangers that we must face, but we should rejoice that we have before us the opportunity to prove to the world the advantages of preparation by truth and education. We must be loyal to our idealsg we must prove that our education has been successful in instilling in us the love for God and Country. Let the accomplishments of American education be exemplified in usg let us be worthy of the democratic training we have received. Then we shall go forth, confident of victory, prepared for any eventuality by our education. May we measure up to Holyoke's expectation of us. May we be strong and eflicient citizens of our city, our state, and our country, ready to carry on the ideals and tradi- tions for which our American democracy was established one hundred and fifty years ao.
