l Over one hundred years ago, leading Americans insisted that the only hope for democratic government was educa- tion. Educate the people in Constitu- tion and lawmakingj' they said, then they will understand and keep inter- ested in public affairs. Teach them to read and write, so that they can inform themselves. Teach them the geography of the earth and the history of man's life in it. If they are taught all these things, they'll understand! And if they understand, American democracy will be protected. Such views pointed to- ward education for all. Horace Mann, the first state superintendent of public education in America, gave all the years of his life to the fight for free public education. MR. VERNON E. KLONTZ our fore-fathers came the present school Out of the beliefs and work of system which exists primarily to give American boys and girls the skills and background necessary for the life long process of self education. Dur- ing school life one learns that schools are not the only agencies of educa- tion. American communities provide churches, libraries, radio programs, motion pictures, newspapers, forums, clubs, and other possibilities for the continuation of education. Everyone should tap these sources in order that he may be prepared at all times to take his place in the affairs of the republic. We should remember that upon the readiness of high school grad- uates to assume the responsibilities of citizenship depends the future of a great democracy. KV jdorzfz, SllPFI'l,IIff'IlJ6llf An education was never more impo1'- tant to an individual than it is today. Challenges to the individual are per- haps greater than ever before. Many of our graduates will continue in insti- tutions of higher learning. All will meet and solve problems in life's labora- tories. Success in the solution of these problems will depend much upon the preparation made during the past twelve years. Even more perhaps will depend upon how well you live, learn and profit by your experiences. Fu- ture happiness depends upon present struggles. We wish you every success.
