v W V k We need citizens who will take the trouble to vote and hold office, We need educated men and women who will act as leaders to organize the voters into non-partisan organizations for the study and improvement of our political instltutionso We need a citizenry that is well informed and able to take part in shaping new methods and policies. Our greatest difficulty ls that, ini dustrially and economically we travel much faster than we do politicallyo We are quite ready to introduce new inventions into our shops, offices and factories and to further any com- mercial practise, especially if it moans more profltc But we are usually very loathe to the ideas and facts of the adminis- tration of our governments By a critical study of the organ- izations and functions of the government and by inducing our - best young men and women to hold public office, we can continue to improve social conditions and to increase the efficiency of our democratic institutional Americans have certain ideals which they try to live up to, such as: 1. Democracy, when the government rests on the peopler 2s Equality of opportunity before the law, 3. Majority rule with recognition of the rights of minor- ities to further their ideals by lawful methodss he Responsibility of public officials to the people whose chosen agents they are, ' . ' 50 Legal proccesses for changing our laws and governmental institutions. - ' ' ' ' 60 Freedom of the press, of speech, of assembly, of relig- ion for all. l . 7Qf A broad'citizensh1p with undivided allegiance. p ' 80 Universal free public educatlonc 9s Local self governmentg representative government when direct is not practicable. A ' 10. A falr and public trial for alle If we are going to llve up to these ideals and keep them, we must do everything in-our power to keep democracy, by working and cooperating wholeheartedly with our governments Science has progressed so far that we can view the world right in our own homes. In this way we can view these other forms of government and by comparing them with our own, we can realize what democracy really means. The worldls responsibilities are each and every person's responsibilities, men, women and children alike. We must All feel that America is our responsibility. 'These words are taken from the American Creed: nlt is my duty to my country to love ity to support its, constltutiong to obey its lawsg to respect its flag and to defend it against all enemles.W We should ablde by this creed always for the happiness and prosperity of the people of this countrya MQ Bs A Cafeteria What does this school lack?
