Bitcadent AARON B. MURRAY A.B., Bluffton College M.A., Ohio State Advisor, Student Patrol] ro We expect America to continue as a leader among the nations of the world. To occupy this place of leadership, we must continue to educate our youth so that education is beneficial to them, and so that their education will benefit others. We should develop the art of using all our resources advantageous- ly. We seék the cooperative deliberation of the teachers, parents, and the community. The curriculum is adapted to the changing needs of the student. And so, all the experiences we provide in school and the experi- ences in life outside the classroom contribute to the increase of useful knowledge in the hands of every person. Although the classroom is the heart of the curriculum, we should not forget any other useful means of education, but give it recognition in our lives. It is the duty of a teacher to present a challenge to the thinking of each boy and girl and for each to cooperate with everyone in the school so that the best might be accomplished by all.

Does it mean attending school where we have everything given to us, books, a warm school room with excellent equipment in science, agriculture, a good library, maps, well-lighted rooms, transportation, and above all the right to think for ourselves without fear? What does it mean to own a home, a place of business or a farm, without fear that it will be taken away even if we have earned and paid for such security? The American way is unique, and cannot be compared with life in any other country or part of the world. The sky is the limit in the opportunities it offers, and the possibilities of what one may become. A pathetic picture is often portrayed by a vast number of Americans who misuse their liberties, coasting on the sacrifices of those who have gone before them. Certainly many need a “shot in the arm” to wake them up and cause them to realize that we must offer only our best if America is to survive. This is no time to dream and drift, there is work to do and loads to lift, if we wish to give those who follow us the same freedoms we have enjoyed.
