Salufafv y ,4ddrcss by Wayne Sedlow Members of the Board of Education, faculty, parents, and friends, I am privileged to welcome you to Commencement night on behalf of the graduating class of 1958, There is a question in my mind tonight about our educational system in the United States, Are stu- dents in Europe receiving a more advanced education than students in the United States? I feel this is a very important question and after looking into the matter I fear we are falling behind, In this new scientific era we cannot afford to let this happen. I had the privilege of attending a Clio Rotary meeting this past year and listen to an exchange stu- dent from Germany, He compared our two countries educationally, I was amazed when I learned he had taken all the mathematical courses offered in our high schools and was only classified as a junior in our schools, The most impressive fact was that he was not majoring in mathematics, but he was taking a language course, This was composed of seven years of Latin, English, and French, He said the reason the German student is ahead of us is because they attend school twelve months a year with only a two weeks vacation. After listening to his speech I began to wonder about the other countries in Europe and began to do some research, Because Russia is our most important rival, I selected her, Here are a few facts that I found. ' When a Russian student graduates from high school he has had five years of physics, four years of chemistry, a year of astronomy, five years of biology, ten years of mathematics, and five years of a foreign language. Now the question before us is how can America compete with Europe and especially Russia? A good way to do this would be to extend our educational system into a twelve month program with two weeks off during the summer, This system would serve more than one purpose, First of all it would give to each student a more intensified education enabling him to secure more knowledge and graduate at the same time. The more knowledge secured in high school would enable a student to enter college with more ease and assurance, Secondly, it would provide teachers with a year around employment, Thirdly, it would prepare a student more fully for earning his own livlihood. This system should put us at par with Russia, It would be difficult at first, but we must be able to compete with Communism or lose our world leadership and maybe our freedom, In closing, I would like to thank the parents, on behalf of the graduating class of 1958, for the sac- rifices they have made for us to make this Commencement night possible, f maui
