I an curo that no dhief guide -.'f the pioneer cara- van of the past, frcr whom we have drawn our patterns for this book, mere thoroughly enjoyed th privileges and responsibilities of the position than l have done. The fine spirit of cooperation and loyalty of the home folks, the road bu-.Iders the guides, the locator, the chief organizer and ail .he other mombers of the caravan have been inspirations Which have projected us forward. It hr.s made our progress more evident. What- ever success, achievement end honor we may claim is due entirely to the spirit and effort of the entire member- ship of our group. If I have been successful in my at- J tempt to point out what I considered the best route to follow and to keep the aarawan moving steadily forward, then I am happy.

As the prairie schooners of Education j ■ i; crawled slowly aleng the steep and winding ■■■%. )-J3 '- ? ils of Knowled ;c . the ■ found many handicans 'V.-to block their progress. Indians (mathematics) ambushed many pioneers, quicksand swamps, and f.s i .'d .,uSnClish) attempted to suck them dovn into its 'lonijr'» . mur y depths, but these seekers of knowledge were prepared for many obstacles and were safely conducted through the places of danger by the Guides, (teachers). Uith their kind, unselfish aid,the caravan moved I along smoothly. How much easier it was to win the many i hard fought battles when a helping hand was offered over thc rough places. Indeed the credit goes to those ever willing helpers--the Guides of the Brady caravan, Mr..Olron, Ilrs. Veseth, Mr. Nims, Mrs. Bartsch, Mrs. Crawford, Miss Hclly, and Mr. Slctten. On several occasions the caravan was reedy to riot or sccie battered schooner decided to turn back, but at the crucial moment the Guides appeared to restore poacc and order. Not infrequently these trail-breaking instructors ! found it essential to use physical force in order to . control some especially unruly member of the clan. The I old adages were then employed: such as, This hurts me 1 worse than it does you ; or better still, YThen you are | old you will look back and thank me for this” -— and -----perhaps they v;ero right. A word of encouragement can work wonders. And thus it was that the caravan usually remained in good i spirits, for the leaders who guided thorn never were too busy to give some laging pioneer a fow cheery words, that sent him on his way with renewed determin- j ation. And so it is that as each schooner reaches its destination the members look back over that long and treacherous trail and wonder how they could have gotten !j along without those patient helpers. Never before did it occur to them, the numerous things their guides had taught them outside of books: ; cooperation, honesty, thrift, trustworthiness and countless other qualities, which would prove price- less on that other, longer journey through life. As the Brady caravan halted for rest in the ■ spring of 1935, its members thought how true it was that A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed , and felt immensely I grateful to those wonderful helpers who they wore so fortunate to havc--thcir guides—the teachers.
