Editorials Education is defined in Webster's Dictionary as the systematic train- ing of the moral and intellectual faculties belonging to the human race. The word education stems from the Latin word educo whi.ch means draw- ing out, and education is the process of drawing out. To educate is to impart knowledge to, and to cultivate the reasoning and analytical powers of a person's mind. But education can be defined further as the primary factor that is per- sistent in this complex world of today. Without proper education, a person living in this Atomic Age would be utterly lost, and would not be able to keep up with and comprehend everyday situations. Today, education is stressed very highlyg its growing importance is seen all about us. It's everywhere. A good example of the accrescent importance of education is in evi- dence here in Newport. Plans are being made to start work on a new ad- dition to the high school that will be double the total area of classroom space, thus providing ample room for the large increase in the school's population now and the further increase foreseen in years to come. The new addition will also provide a workshop for the numerous students who each year take the Agriculture Course, and if I'm not mistaken, a cafeteria. The acumen or quickness of perception that a human being possesses is acquired through strenuous mental training and study. A good or a poor education foretells a person's career. With a good, well-rounded education, you can have a lifetime feeling of securityg with a poor education, you are unsure from one day to the next. So don't be addle-headed, jump at the chance for an education, absorb all possible knowledge, and rest assured of a promising and safe future. Robert Cormier, '55 This is a message to all students-freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors. Have you ever stopped to think of what you are going to be doing in a few years? Perhaps some of you have selected various careers already, and are taking steps in preparing for those vocations. There is another careier irlxvhich we all must participate, however, and how are we prepar- mg or 1 . The career to which I am referring is that of a citizen. In a few years, the government of the United States will be in the hands of our generation. Will we govern wisely? Justly? With a knowledge of what we are doing? Certainly we must, if we are to survive as a nation. What are we doing to insure possession of these precious and necessary qualities? We should be demonstrating good citizenship in our every-day activi- ties. Our attitude toward teachers and studies should be one of maturity. Eachandeve td t h l ' ' ' ry s u en s ou d take prlde in keeping our school building cleaniand neat. Everyone should strlve to attain a spirit of cooperation by working and p3.I't1Clp3.tlhg with others. In this way, we the citizens of the future, can prepare ourselves for a responsibl 't' , ' th ' of our country. Let's be ready! e posl lon In e governmg Mary Louise Carter, '56
