provided you with a passport to a more advanced school, and you plan to prepare yourselves by further study for some service that will bring you the enduring satisfactions of life. Some of you believe you are through with school and you want an opportunity at once to render service and to earn money. For¬ tunately you live in a country where libraries, evening schools, and correspondence courses are available at little or no expense if you later discover that some neglected part of your education stands in the way of happiness or success. But whatever your plans for the immediate future, it seems to me that you should determine to fit yourselves for intelligent citizenship by every means at your disposal. The school has given you a start in this direction, but you need to carry on by reading, listening, thinking, and improving your judgment. In some countries those in au¬ thority are saying to the people, All that you have is ours”. If we wish democracy to endure in our country we must pay a price. We must keep informed about political problems and policies; we must vote intelligently, and we must demonstrate our belief that the noblest motive is the pu blic good by consider¬ ing the public good as of greater importance than our own in¬ dividual gain. That is not easy to do. It requires real character on the part of citizens to maintain free democratic government. You have been well taught. Show that you have vision, charac¬ ter, and devotion to the public welfare, for the control of The United States of America is passing inevitably into the hands of you graduates and of hosts of others like you from sea to shining 5 sea . Cordially yours, Chester M. Downing , Headmaster
