Tllll PIWTWIIENT The public schools are 'WW the dynamic force behind the progress that has been made in America since its founding. They have stim- ulated the imagination to see the conditions of living that are desirable and pos- sible tor all people. They have helped to develop the individual in accord- ance with his interests, aptitudes andabilities be- cause only in this Way can the general level of the culture ot a people be elevated. They have given lite and meaning to the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit ot happiness. They have preserved Worthy traditions and de- veloped equitable ideals of political, social, and economic justice. They have encouraged partici- pation in religious life and activities. They have de- veloped the philosophy that the state is created by the individuals to serve humanity. But what are the schools? Are they fine buildings With laboratories, libraries and spacious grounds? No, far more than that, they are the combined spirits of the lives oi all the men and Women who have devoted their lives to the teaching profession. It is they who have given meaning to theories and made facts human. They have understood that teaching is the fine art of promoting human relations. They have understood the hopes and aspirations of youth and stimulated their desire for achievement. It is they who have held up ideals and actuated their accomplishment. What a glorious privilege to serve mankind through teaching! J Clllllllll 9 'lllll . , ,. ,.,,h.'. ...eh.-a:,..,,.,.,,..Y.,.-. , if . . 1 V f - M -f' '

THE BOAllll 0F llllUOA'l'l0N In a democracy a board of education represents the people in determining the amount and the quality, of education to be offered in the schools. This is an important and basic function in society. At times service on the board is difficult and arduous. It requires long hours of patient work. It means personal sacrifice of business and recreation time. Sometimes pressure groups attempt to dictate in matters of school support: sometimes parents and teachers are not appreciative: but over a period of years the community as a whole is appreciative and grateful.. During the past year the Kansas City Board of Education has been con- fronted with many difficult problems. It has had the courage to meet them squarely and to solve them in the best interests of the entire community. Teachers. College faculty and students congratulate and commend the Board of Education for its unfailing devotion to duty in the interests of all the people. t MEMBERS LUDWICK ......... ,,,,,,,,.,,,,.
