FUTURE DOORS The doors of the future will be open to prepared to think through your way oT life the easier you become marked for a totali- tarian type of living. If you do not work young men and women to enter democratic ways of life or to enter autocratic, dicta- torial paths for the future. It is well to take inventory of the. influ- ences toward which you lean or which you permit to bear upon your lives and enter into your conduct. The democratic way of life involves work to be prepared to make your own living, to select the vocations you desire to follow. Choice of that vocation depends upon the present school foundation. You are laying stone by stone, little by little, to make your choice possible. A well-laid foundation limits the type of educational house you can build for yourself. The poten- tial power to think and decide you may now enjoy; but the use of that power depends upon using and developing your powers of today and making choices that in time will strengthen your ability to choose wisely; in other words, to mature educationally. A mature, intelligent individual interested in the welfare of others, is necessary to main- tain a democracy. The autocratic way of life is the other door open to young people. The less you are now to become prepared to choose the work you would like to do, you are prepared for totalitarian living. The history of the past struggle for our present form of government tells the story of trials you may face if you are not willing to accept the gains made in freedom, religion, and living that now are your heritage because someone else laid down their lives to leave them to you. Un- willingness now to face hardships to per- petuate the opportunities inherent in a democracy exposes you to the influences which end in totalitarian government. The answer, then, is to be found in your conduct today in the face of all odds meet- ing you at every door of activity. Where is it leading? if you don't know, you are charged with the responsibility of discern- ing it. You must labor to be able to discern. No one can give it to you. Work is the only means of acquiring it. Here at school are the tools of learning. You must acquire them if you expect to work with more than your hands and a strong back. Eleven
