ROBERT B. FARNSWORTH Superintenclenfs Message Any attempt to picture the west can not overlook the sterling qualities of those who pioneered the settling of this area and fought to establish homes cmd other basic institutions of American life. History has clothed most of the early days of Indians, trappers, prospectors, and drifting cattlemen with a romantic haze which often overshadows those who contributed most to permanency. Montana has as many of these historic characters to weave its story around as any western state, but following closely on their heels came cattle- rnen to make pioneer homes and ranchers who fought through years of drought. Miners and oilmen came to establish payrolls. The tenacity and hopefulness of these men and women are qualities we must maintain to finish the work which they started. One form of pioneering is finished, but others remain. The great improve- ment needed in our public education program, improvement and economies in government, reclamation of land for permanent homes, the building of better and cleaner cities are fields which need the efforts of tireless, well-trained young people with vision enough to build to fit the foundation prepared by those men and women who first called Montana home.
