ANNUAL MESSAGE PRESIDENT H. S. SHANGLE In the last one hundred years the world has been made over again. This is ntl the same world our fathers knew. They plough- ed their fields with wooden mould boards, reaped the wheat with the sickle and threshed it out by hand. Our grandmothers never saw a cooking stove, or a sewing machine. The telephone and the wireless were never thought of, and the incandescent light and the automobile had not yet been invented. Wfith swift feet we are moving forward. The world war, graft and greed, political and social corrup- tion in private and public life, retard advancement and clog the wheels of progress. But in spite of the sins and follies of the age, civilization takes root and grows. The price we pay, however, is high. Ignorance is free. Knowledge has to be bought, but it is worth all we pay for it. Political progress, material progress, intellectual progress, spiritual progress-these mark the passing of the years. No long- er are we bound in our thoughts and aspirations. The shackles have been broken, the bonds losed, and we are a free and happy people. The future years will bring a harvest of the kind of seed the young men and women of the nation are today sowing. Wliat shall the harvest be? Some one has said, Tell me what the students in our schools are thinking of today, and I will tell you what the civilization of the next generation will be. We should never forget that special privileges and golden opportunities bring corresponding responsi- bilities. To excel in all of life's great work should be our constant aim-the goal for which we strive. Page Seventeen
