VAl,EDlCTORY is EDUCATION WORTH THE PRICE? Books, magazines, and newspapers today constantly instill in their readers the idea that there is something fearsome in the multitude of war babies grown to school age. We have had the advantage of skilled and sufficient teachers, costly supplies. and comfortable housing facilities. The question that is facing some of you as parents and all of us as citizens is Whether or not the children that will be flooding our schools in the very near future will enjoy equal privileges. The problems created by over-crowded housing and the teacher shortage are facing both city and rural schools. Educational opportunities are not equal as they should be, because rural districts cannot supply funds sufficient to build needed schools or to pay competent, qualified teachers. Even city districts are losing in the fight to obtain intelli- gent, well-trained teachers because industry is offering these people opportunities for excellent, highly-paid jobs without long years of college training. Solutions to these problems will not come easily, but solutions must be found if America is to maintain good standards in its public schools. We Americans can afford improvements in our educa- tional system. Statistics show that the amounts spent on education are deplorable when compared with the amounts spent on tobacco, cosmetics, liquor, and the cost of crime. Good education is a continuous problem, but when we weigh its benefits as opposed to its costs, we find that edu- cation is more than worth the price. SYLVIA HENDRICKSON ORATION NEVER LOSE A HOLY CURIOSITYU KARL FOSTER GRADUATION ISSUE These words by the late Dr. Albert Einstein were recently addressed to a college freshman who had taken a fatalistic attitude toward life. Einstein went on to say that the important thing is not to stop questioning. These statements hold the key to our future and the future of the world. Science, or organized knowledge, has advanced a long way from the time when man first began to collect and systematize his work. Science has provided us with a good present and the chance for a future beyond even our wildest dreams. Presupposing a peaceful world, it is predicted that even within twenty-five years our life and our world will be so far advanced as to be unrecognizable. Yet we cannot expect to find life a bed of roses and al- though our future has been made possible by our predeces- sors, we shall have to work hard for it. ln addition to teach- ing us what we know, science also shows us what we do not know. We must Hnever lose a holy curiosity. There are as many grave problems facing us as citizens of the world as there are problems in the advancement of organized knowl- edge in our particular chosen fields. We must ever be alive to this fact and work for a united world, striving always for the betterment of mankind. Only by constant questioning and experimenting, both in the realm of pure science and in other human affairs, can we hope to make our future what it should and ought to be. PAGE SEVENTY-FIVE

The Teller of Tales speaks softly words of wisdom until his voice fades and he is gone. He has left us alone and the sun is setting -but we are unafraid. We leave a trail of memories and prepare to cut a new path once again in a wilderness. But this time we are older and set out on a trail of hopes and dreams, wiser and stronger. The sun dips and is gone, only to pre- pare the bright new sunrise of tomorrow. Opportunity is ours-and, Teller of Tales, We have heard your words of wisdom. We will think of what you've told us.
