PRINCIPADS MESSAGE America is known throughout the world as the land of opportunity. But our sky is no bluerg our scenery no more beautifulg our soil no more fertileg and our people no more ambitious than those of other lands. Yet our country is different! Why? Because our system of public education established three hundred years ago, and unsurpassed by that of any other nation, gives oppor- tunities not provided elsewhere. Education for all the children of all the people, from the primary grades through the university constitutes America's greatest contribu- tion to civilization. America is dedicated to the ideal of universal educa- tion and the principle of equality of educational oppor- tunity. American education. moreover, not only seeks to give each individual the best possible advantages in life, but also to protect and perpetuate the principles and ideals of democracy. It recognizes the right of every child to advance as far as he is capable, irrespective of race, color, or creed: and it strives to build a world on equality and justice, security and peace. This type of education constitutes the Americanism about which we read, write. and speak. But just knowing these things is not enough. Action is necessary and service is required. In our complex civilization with its ever changing political, industrial, economic and social con- ditions, every person should be a living example in pro- curing, maintaining and defending our great American ideals. Let us then nobly fulfill these obligations, living and growing, opening the granaries of the past, and heaping up resources for the future. Above all in this free Chris- tian nation, this America of ours, let the power and influ- ence of education be guided by the invigorating principles of religion, morality, and patriotism so that America may be prepared for that exalted destiny which our forofatliors. led by the unerring hand of God, have placed within her grasp.
