Fellow Students: 1 wish that this message might he one written with pir-ture words which show the glories and triumphs ot education and the linn belief of tlie whole country in universal tree public education. Such a picture would he untrue to present day facts. The world at large is not only reestablishing, and revising its economic business; it is also re-evaluating its public institutions. It measures an institution by the |uality of its product; therefore, it measures the school by the quality of its graduates. May every one of us measure up to the standard and exceed it. During the last twenty-live years enrollments in Wisconsin high schools alone have increased about four hundred percent. When your fathers and mothers were boys and girls there were only 27,000 students in the high schools of this stat ‘: today there are 144,000. At that time 3.000 people were graduated each year; now over 23.min persons are awarded high school diplomas annually. This tremendous increase in student body has made necessary newer, bigger, and better buildings, more teachers, and as a consequence costs have increased. Today twenty-six cents of every tax dollar collected by slate, county, city, school districts, and other governing units goes for education. An equal amount goes to our highways while the remaining forty-eight cents is divided for other purposes of government. Some people believe that education lake'' a- much as fifty percent of our tax money. However, this is a misconception. as slate tax statistics will readily prove. Whether the people who pay our school hills are to continue to believe in universal free public education depends upon you. What you are in the eyes of the comnumitv. what the school has done for you. are going to he the standards hv which the schools of the future are to he measured. May your loyally to duty, your serenity in times' of stress your devotion to good works, your ability to solve life's problems. your integrity for character as exhibited hv the wav you live he of such a high standard that the friends of the public school may keep on increasing as they have lor o.oo-h a century, and the faith of the Public in j'|s institutions of learning remain linn. May JeiTerson High School students keep on as leaders iii all good tilings. Sincerely yours. I A'IE ELEVEN
