011'th I believe that intelligence is the only safety for a democracy, and that the public school is the best means of obtaining that intelligence. I believe in information rather than in reformation-in home and school and church rather than in jail and workhouse and penitentiary. I believe that the greatest factor in education is the trained teacher; that i the first consideration in school conditions is care for the childls health and safety. I believe that every dollar expended in making the school environment ideal will come back with added interest to the home and state. I believe that the aim of education is the socialization of the child, and that IIsociety function? are the bane of high school efhciency. Ibelieve that education should trend toward the hand and not away from it; that the next twenty-five years will give great prominence to vocational and industrial training. I believe that every child in America, endowed with fair physical and mental ability, no matter how poor in money, can obtain a high school or even a college education, if only he have the will. I believe in high school athletics when properly controlled and regulat- ed; that a combination of Athenian and Spartan ideals will make for the highest good. I believe in the possibilities of youth, the honesty of purpose of teachers, the hopefulness of parents, the wisdom of laws, and the ultimate destiny of good for all. Ibelieve with Tennyson, IIThat nothing walks with aimless feetIHf That somehow good will be final goal of illf, I believe that the hand of God is Clearly revealed in history, and that the destinies of individuals are as surely guided. I believe that manls chief duty is to raise his SELF to higher levels, and help on the race; that work,of whatever nature that helps to accomplish this W. N. BEETHAM, PH. 3., end, is divine. SUPERINTENDIEN'I' OF SCHOOLS I believe in liberty, but not license; and that obedience to law is free- dom, and not bondage. I believe in the chastisement 0f aHliction, and the rewards of virtue; that this life is a school, that death is Commencement, and that the lVIaster Wlll award the diplomas. W l. .
