RRRDllRlES FURTHER PRUGRESS But in examining both of these ideas knowledge is found to be the basic element- knowledge acquired through years of hard study and costly experience. Over eight thousand students, each with a twelve year background in the fun- damental concepts of languages, arts, and sciences, have graduated from Edison High School during the past quarter of a century. Upon receiving their diplomas, these alumni have scattered in every conceivable direction: many have continued their educations at innumerable universities and colleges, others have gone immediately into work of their choice. Medicine, philosophy, engineering, and accounting-these are but typical occupations, for in practically every field there is an Edison graduate. There is nothing mystical about the advent of recent innovations, for they are merely the result of the productive powers of man's intellect and ingenuity. The very same boys and girls who wandered down the halls of Edison only a few short years ago have now established themselves as men and women workers and have contributed directly to the impressive ad- A 'N 4 vance of the last twenty-five 3 2 .1 years.
