Ram, ram and sun! A rainbow in the sky! A young man will be wiser by and by. The rainbow of peace has finally permeafed fhe dismal clouds of war. The elusive pof of gold is wifhin our grasp. Ours is fhe power fo hoard ifs freasure and sei' men free. or fo scaffer ifs shillings, heedless of fheir inesfimable value, and fo subiugafe men once more fo fhe chains of malconfenf and sorrow. Youfh will achieve wisdom as fime progresses, buf will fhaf wisdom be used for fhe perpefrafion of war or for fhe preservafion of peace? The answer will be defermined largely by fhe educafion of youfh. We musf frain our minds and falenfs fo solve fhe fremendous problems of our fime. We clare nof make decisions casually or fhoughflessly. We musf examine our polifical principles carefully, learn fo discounf our prejudices, and acquire fhe habir of basing conclusions on facfs rafher 'rhan on emofions. If we are fo forge a beffer and more secure world sociefy, we musf have an infimafe knowledge of fhe ofher peoples of fhe earfh and 'rheir culfures. Upon our educafional sysfem musf largely depend our abilify fo assume fhese vifal faslcs, which will occupy our minds and energies for fhe resf of our lives. To prepare each cifizen fo choose wisely and fo enable him 'ro choose freely 'rhe policies and leaders he will follow are paramounf funcfions of fhe schools in a democracy. Ouf of a world's disasfer we have salvaged only an opporfunify. To furn a mere possibilify info fhe acfualify of a world af peace will require courage and unremiffing, devofed efforf. The reward of fhaf efforf will be fo feel fhaf youfh has been a parf of greaf fhings. and has had a share in bringing order 'ro a chaofic world as well as in building for fufure generafions. 7
