Freedom, equality, justice and humanity constitute the principles upon which this great government was founded. They have been passed on to us hy those who proved their worth and found security in their practice. But as the wheels of time have turned, taking toll of the years, tur- moil and strife in the world around us have made it necessary to defend our honored heritage, democ- racy. The founding fathers of our nation early realized the value of an educated and enlightened public in defending 'and upholding their principles of life. To this end they provided that education should forever be encouraged. It is imperative today, as in no other era, that we follow their example, educating our people to use well and protect faithfully the privileges to which they are entitled as citizens of a democratic nation. ln publishing this 194-1 Horseshoe, we have en- deavored to portray the ideals of a growing demo- cratic institution and to command a deeper respect and appreciation for the priceless gift entrusted to us hy our forefathers.
