NDUSTRY is today's frontier for American youth. ' Industry, in striving to fill the endless human de- T V mands for more and better buildings, machines, clothing, transportation, recreation, and the like, has capacity to utilize all the vision, the skill, and the initiative that youth can supply. But frontiers call for pioneers, for young people with de- termination and the Willingness to earn their Way. The 1936 model of the Ladder of Success still has a bottom rung. Educating is an industry-a modern high school is a factory. The raw material is the freshman, the finished product is the graduate. 4 The demands of the high school have much in common with the demands of industry. They are both a more or less complex organization. They are both competitive. They both strive thru constant improvement for perfec- tion, and Success in both comes thru Work. L. l. FLETCHER. Foreword
