THE FOLLOWING LETTER WAS RECEIVED IN REPLY TO THE INFORMATION GIVEN CONCERNING THE DEDI- CATION OF THIS VOLUME OF THE OPTIMIST. Middletown, Ohio, February 3, 1923. To the Youth of Middletown :- It has been our earnest desire to provide adequate schooling facili- ties for every girl and boy in our city. The new school buildings soon to be dedicated are a partial realization of our ambitions. We trust that these new opportunities will result in such an appreciation on your part that both you and the community at large will be greatly benefited. We agree with Emerson, that The true test of civilization is not in the census, nor in the size of the cities, nor in the crops, but in the kind of men that the country turns out. Sincerely yours, fSignedJ M. E. Danford, Pres. P. G. Banker, Clerk A. K. Lewis, Vice Pres. D. E. Harlan H. R. Betts Board of Education. -9- X ,M
