m A GREETIN G To the students of the State Teachers College at San Jose the writer extends a most cordial greeting. You are there preparing your- selves to undertake one of the most important services that it is ever the privilege of one person to render to another. You are also prepara ing for a service which stands second to no other in its importance for the future of our republic. Public schools exist; to be sure, to impart information and to train young people for success in life, but our people have in mind purposes far greater than these in maintaining the extensive system of education which they do. If these were all we could put education on a tuition basis and let those who found it of any value pay for it to obtain it. Rather, we maintain our systems of public education to train our young people for personal usefulness in life in a large way, for intelligent participation in the form of government we have set up and evolved, and to awaken in each a sense of individual responsibility for the character of the environment in which he lives. This calls for knowledge, but still more for clear thinking, personal integrity, and for the development of large personal initiative. ,Probably, one of our greatest future educational problems is that of how to increase our governmental effectiveness on the one hand and individual responsi- bility for good government on the other, while at the same time retain- ing the best of our democratic life and that type of training which develops individual initiative, foresight, and personal force. That our schools have deeply influenced the progress of our land and shaped the thinking and actions of our people cannot be seriously questioned. They have, in the past, been clearly expressive of our national life and spirit. The results of the work of the teachers in them show today in our national attitudes, our personal force and initiative, our personal independence, and in the general intelligence, good judgement, poise, and productive capacity of our people. We do, however, lack somewhat in state and national effectiveness because we have been trained to exercise our force and initiative in such an individ- ual manner. Only in the face of a great national danger do we cowoperate well. Two at least of the Virtues we now need to develop to supplement our characteristic national traits are a stronger sense of individual responsibility for the common welfare, and a broader out- look on the life and problems of the world as a whole. lPage 201
