minisffzafion. . . Education can in no sense be called a new field of endeavor for from the earliest times man has carried on the task of instructing those who follow him. Early teaching was undoubtedly individual as each father taught his son the necessities of making a living and passed on to him the fruits of his experience. As time went on group instruction was found to be more economical and superior, and the task of education was assigned to trained intellectual leaders who developed the schools of their times. Our system of education is the cornerstone of our government. lt is the result of the realization of the importance of having an intelligent body of citizens. A nation is no wiser nor better than the schools and teachers which it provides for its youth who will be the citizens, the diplomats, and the presidents of tomorrow. No longer is the simple readin', writin' and 'rithmetic system adequate. Many additions and supplements have been made to the basic formula, ne-cessitated by the new fields of endeavor which are open to the youth of today. Education must produce a citizenry able to cope with the baffling problems of this chaotic world, a people who can govern themselves and develop through these new fields of endeavor a life satisfying to the individual and creating, through man's ever- increasing knowledge, a world in which greater fields of e-ndeavor will always be open.

STEEL Molten pig iron is placed in huge vessels, blasts of cold air are blown through this charge. The oxygen in the air combines with the impurities in the metal forming a slag and the result is Bessemer steel. About I2 minutes are required to produce IO tons of steel. odamfs qoufli I marvel at the wonders of This modern day and age, And all that science promises, Upon tomorrow's page. The plane that flies like lightning And the magic mystery Of what can be accomplished with Atomic energy. And yet, I think the world is young, And there are years in store With miracles more wonderful Than anything before. I think that in the universe Posterity will find An answer to the things that now Amaze the human mind. In later years it will be seen, From what the people say That actually in many ways, The world was young today. Dolores Slapkasky five
