Mueh has happened in this world of ours in the last eight years w hieh eornpels us all to ponder thoughtfully the best preparation of our youth for the defense ol' future generations. Many nations of the world, both large in waging a relentless war to determine the kind of and small. have been engaged world we want to live in. Twelve millions of our own Anieriean youths are stationed about the battle fronts of the world lo defend, proteet, and preserve the great eultures, traditions. ideals and principles of our American Detnoeraey and our way of life. Millions ol them will return home safely after this war, stained by the memory of thousands who will not return because they have made the Supreme Saerifiee which permits the youth of Ameriea to eontinue to enjoy all the privileges. opportunities and advantages of a liberty loving people. Our great American nation has always believed firmly in the government of our founding fathers. which guarantees to every individual life. liberty. and the pursuit of happiness. Our great Atneriean Constitution guarantees lo every youth of Ann-riea all the opportunities and advantages of a puhlie sehool education.
