UCTI And so it has been truly said that The public school is the home of democracy. The directed play of American kindergar- tens, the mastery of the fundamental keys to knowledge and skill of the elementary school years, the awakening of the creative energies in the junior high school, the ex- ploration of chosen fields of fact, beauty, and power of the high schools-all these are the main reliance of the American na- tion for a future that will be brighter than the present. The boys and girls, the young men and women now enrolled in American public schools will have to live in the world of to- morrow, whatever that world is like. The most necessary and challenging undertak- ing, therefore, of today, is the adventure of teachers and their pupils into that world of tomorrow through the activities of the American public schools. For the work of our schools is no mere learning of the facts presented on a certain number of pages in a book. In their deeper meaning, the work in our school shops is the work of creating the new world, mechanically: the work of our agriculture classes is the work of creating the outlines of the new world so far as the use of nature's gifts by man is concerned, the work of our English and literature classes, of our drama and plays, of our music, art, and much of our science is the work of creating the new world, spir- itually, and the work of our social science classes. of our debates and oratorical con- tests, is the work of creating the new America socially, economically and polit- ically. This is the real significance of our schools. When we have learned to so regard the opportunities of the American public school, then indeed America will be safe, then indeed her democracy will begin to really work. But for this work to proceed there must be freedom and hope and ioy in the undertaking. Education indeed is life. But education should be life not simply as it now is but as it is to be. -H. jenn' Vooams
