THE OWL burden from real estate and insure to each community in the State at least a minimum program of education. 4. Instruction in the school must be vitalized and courses and classes offered which will prepare boys and girls to assume their responsibilities as citizens, giving them civic, social and vocational competency. With these steps accomplished the second century of free public education will be launched into a career of pub- lic service far beyond the fondest hopes of its founders. In this centennial celebration let us pay a tribute to the memory of George Wolf, The Father of Free Public Schools in Pennsylvaniaf' to Thaddeus Stevens, whose noble defense saved the school law at a critical timeg to Samuel- Breck, chairman of the legislative committee charged with drawing up the law of 18345 to Thomas Burrowes, early Superintendent of Common Schools, and the thousands of faithful teachers, statesmen and citizens who have made public education a successful part of the life of the Commonwealth. JAMES L. RULE Superintendent of Public Instruction.
