J- ike z en.i ei4.wc£ Keep up the good work. Because our ideal is vital living, as living changes so must our school problems, but never this ideal. Education, as you know, is development and enrichment. Therefore if you expect to be an educator, you must not cling to static forms, but by intelligent experimentation, keep on. In many cases the immediate need is obvious, and the solution near at hand. At times both teacher and pupils should come face to face with a substance only partially understood and through individual and group effort discover its real possibilities. When I meet you in your classrooms, I hope to find you teaching with understanding and vision. We members of the faculty have helped you lay a firm foundation, and we look to you to build each elevation slowly, soundly, and unpretentiously. Remember that nature or the imitation of it is not art. Visual art is the expression of the feeling of an individual, and upon the emotional reaction set up within the observer depends the greatness of the work. Creative ability is natural for us all, and, as we foster its development, we must be sure to recognize fundamental truth and sincerity in the contribution of each to the ultimate ad- vantage of the group.
