The youth of today who is our greatest guarantee for the future stability of our social institutions faces a task which calls for greater preparation and more courage than ever before in history. Not since the Declaration of Inde- pendence has so much attention been focused on our laws and office holders. Many doubt the permanency of our representative government owing to condi- tions over which we seem to have little control. The solution of these problems is essential, and the future of our democratic ideals is dependent on the re- establishment of confidence in our American institutions. Mistrust is not often found where there is understandingg therefore, reliance in government can be assured only through an intelligent, well-informed citi- zenry. The objective of the American schools must be to assist in preparing its youth for intelligent citizenship out of which will come a true knowledge of conditions and a power to solve the problems common to society. LORENZO H. HATCH. 20
