Throughout the ages we have found advances in education either accom- panied or followed by enhanced opportunities for free thought and action on the part of the peoples involved. Our own country has undertaken and developed the most elaborate and far-reaching system of education of any civilized nation past or present. Our political freedom has been so complete that we have abused the privilege through neglect. Our approach to religious freedom in this country has been significant, but we have fallen short of our goal because of intoler- ance within our own minds and within the group minds of many of our organi- zations. Our nation has an enviable relative economic position, but we doubt if many of us can be happy over the status of economic freedom of millions of our people. We believe that education must teach that political freedom entails responsibility, not a mere release from duty. We believe education should teach and demonstrate an attitude of tolerance and respect for the honest beliefs and feelings of others. We believe that education, through its high school classrooms, should so study economic conditions and underlying factors that the generations who succeed us shall be able to more successfully promote the ideal of economic freedom. We believe that one of education's biggest jobs is to help future generations arrive at a point of intellectual freedom where they will more consistently formulate their judgments, both individual and group, on the basis of facts resulting from careful investigation and research rather than on the basis of tradition and propaganda. We worship, then, at the altar of freedom . . . freedom of the individual to voice his opinion in matters political and governmental, freedom in the realm of religious and spiritual attitudes, freedom from the ravaging effects on mind and body of economic instability, and freedom of the mind for unhampered thinking. We believe these goals are attainable only through an educational sys- tem designed to be universal, an educational system free to bring to its faculties thc finest minds of the nation, a system free to study with the youth of our nation the problems of mankind, whether those problems be traditional or recent, whether they pertain to conservatism or liberalism, whether they be academic or general. WILLARD E. Gosrm, Superintendent. IH11, I 1.
