Our school need the appreciation and cooperation of all those who depend upon them for the education of our youth—the state’s most valuable asset. Our schools are today enabling America to achieve great results, and they can help her to even greater accomplishments. —Franklin D. Roosevelt. But after all, our schools do more than merely transmit knowledge and training; they are America itself in miniature, where, in a purer air and under wise guidance, a whole life of citizenship is lived experimentally with its social contacts, its recreations, its ethical problems, its political practice, its duties and its rewards. Ideals are developed that shape the whole adult life. Experience is gained that is valuable for all the years of maturity. I would be one of the last people in the world to belittle the importance of the exact knowledge that teachers impart to their pupils—as an engineer I set a high value upon precise information—but knowledge, however exact, is secondary to a trained mind and serves no useful purpose unless it is the servant of an ambitious mind, a sound character, and an idealistic spirit. Social values outrank economic values. Economic gains, even scientific gains, are worse than useless if they accrue to a people unfitted by trained character to use, and not abuse them. —Herbert Hoover ■l.-H-H-H-H-l-H-H- “Education Through Experience” m-M-H-l-M- !■ 1-1 H 1 M-l 1 1 11 I I I I 1
