Mrs. Sykes Mr. Iacobs Mr. Love THE PRINCIPAL' S MESSAGE This message was written after your principal's return from the annual high school principals' convention at San Francisco, where he listened to discussions of the many-sided phases of high school education. Opinions expressed were as various as the men who spoke. There was evident difference of opinion not only as to the funda- mental purposes of high school education but also as to the best methods of achieving those purposes. The convention over, your principal enjoyed a dav of sight-seeing. There was of course Golden Gate park, China Town, and the University at Berkeley, but first and foremost were the new bridges4one connecting San Francisco and Oakland, and the other spanning the famous Golden Gate. These two bridges are marvels of engineering, and the world's outstanding achievement in bridge-building. Three huge spans of steel now stretch across the Golden Gate, two hundred feet above the waters of the bay. The hither-to impossi- ble has been achieved. As I stood there on the promontory, Lands End. gazing back at the bridge so beautifully etched against the background of sky and water, my mind, reverting to the educational problems of the previous days, gradually cleared. Yes, at last I felt sure that I knew what was really the essential thing in education. We must have schools iii order that we may have bridges like this. And to build such bridges men must know definitely what they are about. There must be no guess work. Every stress must be computed accurately to the ounce. There is just one fundamental in Educa- tion as there is in bridge building, and that is knowledge. If throughout your daily routine while attending this high school your chief de- sire is to know, then you are becoming educated-and someday you, too, may become a builder of bridges. MARK R. IAcoBs.
