Convening in the community house, the entire town had a voice in its government. Under the direction of the moderator, the meeting made provisions for the first secondary education in the United States. It is generally agreed upon that our brother Philemon Pormort shall be intreated to become schole-master for the teaching and nourtering of children with us. Our Board of Education, in like manner, assists in promot- ing the efficient school system of Lakewood. The President, Mr. Arthur Hudson, acts as our moedrator and was instru- mental in the finding of Mr. George A. Bowman of Marion, Ohio, as head schole-master or superintendent of schools. As the town meeting watched the progress of boys from dame school to Latin grammar school, the Board of Educa- tion watches modern pupils from kindergarten to high school. l

Let us listen with respect to the voice of 1635 urging us on to greater accomplish- ments in public education. An echo of it will ring down the ages for as long as public schools shall exist on this continent. These sturdy co- lonial farmers realized the truth of Horace's words: This work, this pursuit fof wisdoml let us push for- ward, small and great, if we wish to live as friends to our country and to ourselves. Schools will continue to be important to the democratic basis of government pro- posed by the early Ameri- cans. For as Frederick the Great said, An educated people is easily governed. The interests of today are broadening into many fields, and each school with its own system of student govern- m e n t and extra-curricular activities is a small country in itself. Could our forebears wit- ness now the gigantic pro- portions of the infant public school education they once harbored, without a doubt they would be more than gratified. As we look back at the struggling start of pub- lic schools, we too are grate- ful for the courage and im- agination that was theirs. lt was not without strong opposition that public school- ing was adopted in this coun- try. The idea was new and untried in the colonies. As we have seen, the experi- ment was a decided success. The communities of the United States today are fac- ing a somewhat parallel sit- uation. The so-called frills of education are being stressed and increased amid a storm of opposition. In this case, however, the experiment has already succeeded. With this assurance behind us shall we become static, and eventual- ly recedeg or move forward along with civilization? No effort at all means we will fall behind and only with a great struggle catch up. We must ride hard to hang to the tail of society's horse, and only a little effort more to race neck and neck with her.

Lakewood High School in 1935 not only performs the service of preparing hundreds of students annually for colleges and vocations, but also it binds each department closely to- gether in an eiort to teach cooperation and responsibility to the students. Through the aid and interest of the faculty and the efficiency of the administrative heads this aim has been fulfilled. The various departments and the five courses-acadamic, scientific, art, technical, and home economics-have been joined in a unit that was undreamed of by educators three hundred years ago. iliages 56100 Llyincoin L , H if ...--v---W Y-V-K .ling iliinleg,
