Friendliness, co-operation, a spirit of inquiry, the use of reason; tliese qualities must become part of our daily living. ' hen I entered upon m)- work as Social Director it seemed to me that no nunc leriilc tield existed for the encouragement of these traits than at The National Farm School. Ours is a small, compact, close-knit community. We live under the same roof, eat together, and play together. We work and learn together. Wc share the responsibility of caring for valuable livestock, complex machiner -. and the per- formance of important tasks in the conduct of the various farm units. Ccjndilions, thercfiue. seemed most suitable lo further the development of th.ese characteristics in our student body, and particularly in our Seniors. If you were to be graduated as competent agriculturists, if some of you were soon to own and operate farms, it was important that along with your agricultural training you be prepared to take your place in society, imbu ed with the urge to exercise these high qualities. More and more, ilieiefnre. we charged ' ou with responsibilJt in the perform- ance of the tasks of your deiiartments ; more and more we enlisted )u in the government of the schodl; more and more we entrusted you with helping us to soh-e some of the School ' s problems. If we have tlui fostered in )ciu the habit nt tiiendliness and a co-operative spirit, of respect for the other person ' s point of view, oi exercising a sense of in- tjuirN, and the use of reason in your daih ' lives, the Sclux)! has rendered a service not only to -ou, but to your fellow man. As acknowledgment of my belief that ou have proved woitliy of our ertorts. I aiklress you as colle;igues. S.XMLtL J. (JlrU.VRG
