aay — 5 sx SUPERINTENDENT Many years ago Thomas Jefferson wrote: ''l know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome direction, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion through education. Accomplishment and performance take place within a framework of expectation. Accomplishment and performance should come from all students—not just the aca demically talented.

Some people would have us believe that only persons of high intelligence have the right to be fi rmally educated in our public schools and universities. Fortunately, our forefathers and the majority of our present citizenry believed that all should be given the right of training and exercising their intellect to the utmost Of course, this right of free public education also carries with it certain personal responsibilities for those being edu forefathers grant the right of free cated. Not only did our public education, but deemed it a necessity in order to oreserve our democratic form of government Though some people are blessed with greater power of reason, judgment, and comprehension than others, it is necessary for our own happiness and the goox of our so ciety that we contribute to the best of our native abilities Most areat accomplishments have been attained by people of various abilities working together toward a common ob- ex tive. In this way our great country was founded and developed, and in this way our national and world problems will be solved BOARD OF TRUSTEES Jack Desmond Frank April Elmo Del Bianco Wallace Emmert John Sordi
