Board of Education Directorship of Public Education in this twentieth century is surely one of the greatest opportunities for service to the cause of humanity any citizen may enjoy. One chosen by his fellow citizens to serve in such capacity must be able to look into the future wherein all dividends from this great enterprise must accrue. He should realize that the service he ren- ders will be measured by the generations to come just as surely as by those who would evaluate in terms of the present. Could any position of trust test more fully the wisdom and judgment of man? The growing interest in education is pre- senting itself to all communities, and in Ligonier, the school board is now en- gaged in providing excellent additional school facilities for those who are willing to use them. A challenge is being met by the directorate of our schools. When seeking words of counsel rela- ative to the advancement of educational opportunities for youth, none with great- er force than those of Thaddeus Stevens, as he pleaded for the salvation of our first system of public education, can be found. I trust that we shall take lofty ground- look beyond the narrow space that now circumscribes our v i s i 0 n-beyond the passing, fleeting point of time on which we stand and so labor that the blessing of education shall be conferred on every son of Pennsylvania-shall be carried home to the poorest child of the poorest inhabitant of the meanest hut of your mountains so that even he may be pre- pared to act well his part in this land of Freedom and lay on earth a broad and solid foundation for that enduring knowl- edge which goes on increasing through increasing eternity.
