' ' L 'U'- PUBLIC EDUCATIGN America represents departure from the traditional in practically every field of activity. ln no field is this more pronounced than in education. ln harmony with the principles cherished in the Declaration of Independence and embodied in the Constitution of the United States, the idea of universal free public education for the masses has grown and prospered until today it is heralded as the foundation upon which we must build for our future security. Along with our vast natural resources that have contributed to our phenomenal industrial development, the liberal public school program of America has made possible a degree of happiness and joy in living unprecedented in the world. The members of the Board of Education represent the people in the field of public school education. Knowing that they have the custody of the children for such a large part of their working hours, it becomes increasingly imperative if they are to prove worthy custodians that they provide the best possible educational program which will make provision for high health standards, broad and accurate training of the mind, and wholesome and well balanced character building. The Board of Education stands for the best educational program possibly consistent with the community's ability to pay. They realize that such a program will make a greater Man- itowoc. lt is fitting that this year book should give attention to the industries of Manitowoc. There is a close relationship between industrial growth and education. With the raising of the general level of living, the demands for the products of industry grow by leaps and bounds. What is it that has contributed most to the unusual development of American industry? While there are a num- ber of factors involved, it is conceded by most industrial leaders that Americas educational pro- gram, which gives equal opportunity to the masses, lifting the whole population to higher and high- er standards of living, is the chief factor. There is a direct relation between the growth of the American public schools and the growth and prosperity of our people. May those who are responsible for the schools strive to continue this relation. Board of Education Sunset Fourteen Q . ,, , B , . F if Y Jff5if3i7E?f E?

E METEVI-Y Qgfmf7121:'5cEtEf312W T ' IW-'Tff1i,i?5:ff,iefofe FLAMBE AU ..M,..-...---...,... EDUCATION AND LIFE The art of living is becoming more and more the objective aimed at in public education. A study of the history of changes in education shows a gradual change from training a certain select few for still fewer specialized jobs to training the whole population to function more effectively and more happily in the art of living. Within the brief history of our own Republic, we note the marked change from educating the eldest son in the family for the ministry, law, or medicine to educating all the sons, and daughters, too, for the all important job of living. There isn't any question but that the philosophy of life which found fruition in America and which was vouchsafed in a written document, the Constitution of the United States of America, is prospering today because of the education of our whole population. If this philosophy of lib- erty, equal opportunity for all, and full expression of one's physical, intellectual, emotional and aesthetic life is to continue, then it must be safe-guarded against abuse. This we have done by an ever increasing higher average of training for participation in and appreciation of the greater values of life. To experience to the full the art of living not only presumes that every individual be given the opportunities necessary to make it possible for him to enter into such experience but also demands that the right of others to enjoy this experience shall be guaranteed. The art of living not only includes you but your fellows as well. There would be little art in living if one lived unto himself. The greater problems of today involve a recognition of the values of the state, the nation, and of the world as economic and govemmental groups, the welfare of which determines our individual wel- fare. Destruction of the wheat crop in America by insects or blight for one year would affect the whole world's food supply. A strike in coal fields of Pennsylvania means suffering in Michigan and Wisconsin. Financial incompetence in the management of a few of our great railroad systems would find its resultant ramifications entering the humblest homes in America. Our interdependence is tremendous. The greater the complexity the greater the need for a high average type of education that our living in that society might -be the fullest. Education for the art of living must never stop. When we have finished that part provided in the school, we must build upon it through reading, lectures, travel, and association with others. Only in this way will we be able to continuously experience the art of living in reality. f I As seen from the office L . Sixteen ,- ff ., AT-I Q
