Cdltoxial Ten years ago men and women were leaving this school facing a very serious prob- lem, the preservation of democracy. Unfortunately they had to take up arms and engage in physical combat, at great personal risk, to retain our precious freedom. Today, much the same problem faces us, the graduating class of 1949. Our inde- pendence is again in jeopardy. But we as teachers can assist in the molding of the most powerful means of defense, the training and development of the citizens of tomorrow. We cannot hope to preserve democracy unless the people are taught to read and to think so they can understand its basic principles and the application of those principles to cur- rent problems. Many of us turned to teaching as a means of livelihood, but it means more, a great deal more. Our responsibility will be tremendous and we must be prepared to face the far-reaching consequences resulting from slackness or the shirking of duty. Never must we lose sight of our goal which is the aim of all education, knowledge, skill, and the development of character. We have been given the tools — training at Normal, the opportunity to teach, let us do our best to finish the job! THE EDITORS Page Six
