THE CHALLENGE FOR MEN'S MINDS Oftentimes we hear students who are completing their high school education comment on the fact that there are no frontiers or new worlds to conquer or to challenge them. ln these turbulent times nothing could be further from the truth. Today the youth of this nation face one of the greatest chal- lenges of mankind--the challenge for the mind of man. How this challenge will be met and what final results will be attained rests with the graduates of our public schools. The challenge for menis minds manifests itself in many ways. As new secrets of the world and universe are made known, this challenge multiplies in intensity. Within the past decade man has discov- ered the secret of the atom, has conquered the sound barrier, but has not yet achieved the knowledge of the understanding necessary to live in harmony with himself or his fellow man. The challenges facing us today and which in a large part will be met by your generation are these: moral values vs. material values, faith vs. cynicismg and of course, Democracy vs. Communism. One of the weapons in our command is that of Faith-faith in ourselves, faith in our democratic institutions, faith in our fellow man. To meet these challenges and to test such faith, it is necessary that clear thinking be used by all of us. We must utilize the knowledge of the past, be aware of the mistakes and the successes of the past and present them in the proper perspective if our thinking is to be clear. There still exists a frontier, perhaps the most challenging of all, the frontier of men's minds. Our forefathers, the pioneers who conquered the frontier in our own nations, had at their com- mand a powerful force. Each of you has at his command that same force. What is it? It is trust. It is also faith and hope. The manner in which you use these potential forces-faith, trust, knowledge of the past, and the desire to think clearly will determine the outcome of this challenge for men's minds. E61
