Excerpts From And Gladly Would He Learn and Gladly Teach Commencement Address of Ralph E. Noble C ommissioner of Education of Vermont The teachers of tomorrow will be faced with additional responsibilities and ob¬ ligations placed upon them by a complicated world, a world of indescribable trouble, trouble which wall condition the living of every individual everywhere. More than ever before the public school teacher must be adequately prepared for the practice of his profession. In our democracy, public education will determine largely as to whether or not we can continue a free and united people. Education must be accepted by the pub¬ lic as the main long-term defense of the American way of life. Such public accept¬ ance must be more than mere agreement as to principle; it must involve the con¬ tinuance of adequate public financial and moral support for our schools. 1 his sup¬ port for education must be maintained, and possibly increased, at the same time that the costs for necessary military defense are mounting. With respect to this dual need, our United States Commissioner of Education has said: We must find a way to keep both the teachers and the soldiers at their posts. Military defense must be paid for through sacrifice, but not through the sacrifice of the very things we seek to defend.” The Biblical assurance that in my Father’s house there are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you,” is the essence of hope. It could also be said in the house of this world there are many opportunities. Somewhere among them is your opportunity in teaching. It is my earnest hope that you seek and find it, and, that in the seeking and finding of it. you achieve for yourself, and for others who will be dependent upon you for guidance, excellence and happiness. ninety-seven
