CHEHOCTON EDITORIAL A question being asked with increasing frequency today is: Are American schools preparing capable citizens to run our future Democracy? There are five major steps required of our school in accomplishing this sig- nal duty. First, and most obvious, is the develop- ment of a high degree of intellectual and academic ability to enable the child to think for himself and make wise decisions based on careful analysis. Sec- ond, there should be social training fthrough sports, clubs, erc.J to show him how to get along and play an active part in commu- nity social life. Third, he must be inculcated with a love of culture and beauty. Fourth, he must receive vocational training in or- der to make him a produc- tive member of society, and perhaps most import- ant of all, he must be im- bued with high ethical and moral values essential to permanent civilization. On the basis of this out- line alone, we are not able to judge the standards of education in the entire na- tion. We can, however, f W DeTeqnr t sl mTi on Cougnsq Co oPena.'1'roN ,Rehq 'ON 'me Mmklllqs of' Good Cflizeushop and 'nn hqlfl' Thdl' leads To TNC FILIFIUMC-UT of Good Cnhze state unhesitatingly, that the students of Hancock Central School are receiv- ing as line an education as could be desired. . . .
