Superintendent and School Board To Central Students: ln the far, far distant past people were born, lived a natural span of years and then died. Little was left to tell of their deeds, thoughts, and achievements. The bits of evidence which are being unearth- ed today tell the story, in a crude fashion, of what transpired. However crude, there is evidence in certain fields that our an- cestors were quite superior to us. Possibly one of the greatest inventions of all times was the printing press. lt provided a means of recording progress and of disseminating knowledge that has been a blessing to mankind, Our educational program and advant- ages of today are directly the result of the publication of books, newspapers, magazines and,other printed matter which was made possible through the invention of the printing press. Although modern methods are introduc- ing visual aids and radio facilities to our schools, the printed page still is and most likely will, for years to come, continue to be the foundation of our educational pro- gram. Good books are our best friends and most interesting and wholesome companions. His' tory, science and literature, with the accompanying fields of learning, are impossible Without the information recorded in books. Today vast knowledge is within the grasp of everyone if we but recognize this and take advantage of it. I would encourage you to surround yourself with good books. The possession of masterpieces of literature, travel, history, and science is within the reach of all of us and the value of such a possession cannot be estimated in dollars and cents. lt is hoped your education will enable and urge you to read, and re-read, good books, - those books which inspire you, which enrich you and make you a better man or woman as you live and associate with others. The ability to read well is a blessing if you will use it to make you a better person. Since the very foundation of our life is built upon the teachings of the Bible, let it be first among the selections for your personal library. Time spent in reading is most worthwhile, l urge you to find time to acquaint yourself with the treasures of these most valuable possessions, good books. L. l. SCHULTZ Mr. L. I. Schultz came to us as our superintendent very highly recommended as he held the position of Central's principal from l928 to l935.
