r . . ew .. wr i Q , , .. r 3 c 4 M -.. -- W. X0 To The Graduating Class 'You have been attending school for the greater part of the last twelve years of your lives. Your attendance has been considerably inf fluenced by the compulsory attendance laws which your commonwealth has seen proper to enforce. These laws have been passed because the people of this state have agreed that a training in citizenship and in certain fundamentals is necesf sary for the welfare and the advancement of our nation. Coming from European lands where the only training available was for the more for' tunate, your forefathers believed that a greater number should receive such training and they began the development of a school system which has not only become public but is intended and supported for ,the ad' vancement of all who are physically able to attend. To this insistence on the part of the state that you receive some education may be added the hopes of your parents that you make the most of your opportunity. In many cases these hopes have caused your parents to deprive them' selves of necessities in order that you may be better able to meet the changing conditions of life and not be a misfitiin the new order of affairs. They will tell you how different conditions are than when they were young. They are anxious that you will not be handicapped too much in the race you are now beginning. Does it not mean much to you that the state wants you to become a well informed and well trained citizen so that the objective of our govern' ment will be happily achieved? And does it not mean so much more to you that your parents are anxious by watching you for signs that would show them that their hopes and faith in you will be fully rewarded? Do not think of stopping in your development with High School graduation but remember that with your training you now know how to acquire the further knowledge and skill required for continual advance' ment.
