In the three hundred years of public education In America and a little over one hundred years in Illinois, education has made remarkable progress. Public education is too new in the history of the world to appraise accurately its ultimate value in the progress of civilization, but it promises to be the greatest achievement in developing and preserving the principles and ideals of democracy and advancing the progress of mankind. The four cornerstones upon which civilization rests are the home, the church, the school, and the government. They are interdependent. Each must support and encourage the others. Education is not a static thing. The schools of one generation will not meet the needs of a succeeding generation. Our schools need to be constantly improved and expanded to meet new conditions and needs. There can be no economic prosperity, no social progress, no safety for our political institutions, and no security for our democratic ideals without an ever expanding educational program. Atlanta has the reputation of maintaining a high standard for its schools. Seniors, I congratulate you upon your graduation from Atlanta high school. I trust that you are adequately prepared for the duties and responsibilities of citizenship and to embark upon a useful career or to pursue advanced training. The memories of many happy days spent in Atlanta high school will linger with you through the years wherever you may be. I hope you will ever strive to attain the ideals presented to you in this school. An ideal can never be fully attained because an ideal is a conception of perfection. As we approach our ideal, our conception of perfection changes and we seek a higher standard; but by making the quest we move forward and upward to a higher ideal. I wish you a successful, happy life. Happiness comes from rendering service to others and promoting worthy causes. It is only by spiritual service to God through the church and in all our dealings with our fellow men that we can attain true happiness, contentment, and peace. E. H. Lukenbill County Superintendent of Schools
