2- M.H.S. THE PIERIAN 1923 f rittripaTa Mt aaag? THE best gift an American school can make to its pupils is an un- derstanding of democracy ; that you consciously and conscientiously prac- tice democracy, is the best advice I can give to you as you graduate. Democracy is a scheme for suc- cessful, contented living and is based on two assumptions : 1. That society is a man-made organization to allow and to help the individual to develop his natural self as far as he can along any lines that society has, in past experience, found good. 2. That the individual, therefore, owes to society his opportunity for, and the advantages of, a happy life, should appreciate this fact, and should serve wholeheartedly the so- cial groups to which he belongs. There are many implications of these two statements, only a few of which I shall mention : 1. Society stores up information, good habits, tried customs — wise ex- perience of the ages — which it places at the disposal of individuals through churches, schools, other social organizations, and through laws and customs. 2. Better individuals improve society and an improved society produces better individuals. 3. The easiest, best, most satisfying way for an individual to grow is to make one ' s social group (family, school, city, nation, and world) grow better and to grow better with it. 4. The larger the number of social groups to which one belongs, the greater the opportunity to develop one ' s different capacities and interests and the greater the opportunity to give to the world the benefit of one ' s education. Social service — to preserve the stored-up experience of humanity, to increase and better this store by you r individual contributions, to help yourselves by for- getting yourselves in the service of your fellow — is your duty, your opportunity, your happiness : your duty, because you owe to society what you are ; your op- portunity, because only thus can you become a full-grown individual ; your hap- piness, because, actually, it is more blessed to give than to receive.
