We 7k ?eo,6le Om Homes Home has always been associated with THE PEOPLE. The first institution in our American Heritage was the home. The first thoughts of the earliest settlers were to build homes and enjoy family life free fromtyrannicalinterference. Home is where the heart is means a good home is where the heart is happy and the mind and the spirit are encouraged. It's THE PEOPLE in the home who are important, and who make the home a home. Home is where we have our beginning, where, in our family relationships, we learn our social conciousness, our manners, and lay the foundation for character. This belief in the home and its encouragement of the individual, whatever his origin, contributes to our cotmtry's greatness. One of the better lessons on the true meaning and worth of the home and family is being taught, through example in our neighborhood, by our nation's first family. Having established their family home in our community, the Eisenhowers have shown home to be a thing of pride, a refuge from the work- a-day world, a place toentertain friends and a haven for family life, communion, rest and relaxation.

We tie peofle Om chools What has been said about the home can be said with equal truth about the school. The school belongs to THE PEOPLE. The school building and plant should be as good and modern as the community can afford to make them. However, the small school that lacks some facilities may still be, like the simple home, a plaoe where children may learn as well as those learn in better buildings. Again it is THE PEOPLE who count, far more than the buildings they live in or go to sdtool in. Teachers and other school leaders, all a part of the school, are far more im- portant to the child's development than is the school house. From earliest times our people have respected education and made provisions for it. First in homes or churches, and then into buildings of their own, our schools, steeped in American tradition, have been doing their utmost to make America strong. An educated people, thus a well informed citizenry, is the best insurance for Arnerica's future. This re- spect for the schools of our nation is one of the contributing factors for our country's greatness--for a look at our schools is a look at the future of our n.ati0I1. MR. CHARLES C. TAYLOR, M. S. 8 Education is the first and fairest thing that the best of people can ever have.
