The Conning Tower of 19 3 3 To the Graduates of the Four Year Commerce Curriculum In these days of shattered theories and uncertain policies it is more necessary than ever before that the teachers of the public schools of this country have a clear conception of the purpose of education. It seems to me that you, who are concerned with Commercial Education, have an unusual opportunity for helping to instill sane ideas, philosophies, and habits into the minds of those who are soon to be the business men and women of this country. Unemployment conditions to-day have resulted in keen competition for even the small and unimportant positions. Those who are fortunate enough to have jobs are, generally, those who have had some special training or ability. As Commercial teachers you will be charged with the responsibility of training your students more diligently than ever. As an outgrowth of the depression there will undoubtedly be many changes in the business curricula of the future. A nation whose citizens are trained in some particular skill and who have at the same time the ability to comprehend political as well as economic situations, cannot help but grow greater. Let us hope that the Commercial Education of the future will play its part well. Robert J. Ernst 1251
