A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT 0F THE BUARD UF SCHUUL DIRECTORS It is indeed a pleasure for me to extend greetings and congratulations to you-the members of this year's graduating class. What the future holds for you as well as every graduating pupil in America depends largely upon what All18I'iC3, spends for schools. Although the people of Corry and America in general believe in education and have given freely of public funds as compared with other nations-the donors of the funds have sometimes wondered whether or not you graduates have taken proper advantage of the proper opportunities which have been available to you at such a tremendous cost. If you have not, what can be done about the situation? Do you want to pay 551.00 in taxes for a 50 cent return in education. There is another angle from which we must View tl1e adequacy of education. These post war years will bring new types of economic compo- tition among nations. As in the past, but even more so in the future, the nations with high levels of educational competence will be those capable of maintaining their economic leadership. Education raises the productive skill of gainfully employed personsg it increases the wants and demands of the consumers. Education creates and maintains the open door of domestic economyg it gives the nation a sound base for its economic rela- tionships. With the foregoing thoughts in mind it is important that we should consider our school expenditures in relation to our local income. The expense per pupil has varied from 21580.58 up to 311568, whereas the taxes per pupil have increased f1'0l11 562.38 to 810102. Instruction cost in your high school this year has been 35121.03 per pupil. A total of nearly 5241035.00 was spent 011 you this school year. This post war period will be the most critical in the nation's history. Decisions made now will effect every phase of American life, including public education. Many of these decisions will be a direct reflection of the social values held by the American people. Where controversies develop, members of the teaching profession and you products of our educational system should range yourselves upon the side of sou11d public policy. Good luck to all of you. Sincerely, N. J. EDINGER 6
