Southern President, District 5 Were I to be given the assignment of writing a book on education, I would choose as my title, Task Force-Education. This book would tell the thrilling story of America's most valuable asset, the children in the classrooms of our schools today, and the role our schools must be prepared to play in the complex cold-war world of tomorrow. It is upon these children and upon our schools that the hope and future of our country rests. Theirs is the great responsibility of carrying on, under conditions more challeng- ing than ever before in our history, the glorious traditions and the national heritage which is America. The responsibility of preparing our children to meet this challenge, rests, as always, upon proper administration of our public schools. We must insist that our teachers ob- tain the best possible professional preparation. Our schools must be fully staffed, our curriculum complete, so as to prepare our students properly for their place in the world as useful citizens. However, theirs must be more than an education in the basic fundamentals. It must be implemented with an appreciation and understanding of the moral and spiritual values of life, together with a deep and sincere love of country. Without these, they would be human machines, able to calculate but devoid of spirit. These are the problems confronting our task force. This is Ame-rica's challenge. Our schools must be prepared to meet it. Viola S. Southern President, Board of Education Central High School District No. 2 Mr. Samuel Nadler Mr. J. Edwin Russell Mr. Alfred G.
