THE ECONOMIC VALUE OF EDUCATION We, the youth of today, will be the nation of tomorrow! The education we receive now will be our guide in the future. The government of our nation will be our responsibility. If today we make serious use of our golden oppor- tunities for a worth-while education, tomorrow our country will be acclaimed for the efficiency of its government. Some of us will be teachers, others business men, and still others doctors and lawyars. Our nation must have miners, farmers and the factory workers also. No matter what our vocation, we will have equal power behind the wheels of our government. We will be the power behind the throne. Will our nation rise or fall? ,It will depend on us. A Do not wait until you are ready to graduate and then begin to wonder, Wliat can I do to help my country? Our school is a little nation in itself. We have student-body and class officers. We have student-body rules and regu- lations. Those who do not abide by our laws are punished, and the obedient are rewarded for virtue is its own reward. In our classes we are taught to think clearly and to weigh things for their true value. Such training will help us to think things through when our days of greater responsibility have come. If we are to have a good government, we must train ourselves toward that goal. We should first of all aim at self control and clear thinking. To that must be added an unprejucliced study of the social and economic problems of our country. Government is a serious thing as it involves the well-being of our millions of people. Let us then take all advantages possible of our educational opportunities. We will get out of our education only what we put into it. And that is true of our government, for any nation has just the kind of a government that its people deserve. Not stones, nor wood, nor the art of artisans make a state, but where men are who know how to take care of themselves, these are cities and walls.',-- Alcaeus. 1
