ADMINISTRATORS HAROLD S. BATES Superintendent of Norwood Public School; Loma- bard College, 135.; Columbia University, MA. The story of one's own time is not always clear to him who lives in the midst oi the social change. The past has witnessed a democracy in which changes have come rapidly and in which life has moved at a terrific pace. In such a society, few have possessed the ability or have taken the time to re fleet inquiringiy as to whether life has held for the individual what it might. That life in the future will be any less complex is to be doubted. It is fairly safe to predict that new inventions and discoveries will bring increasing leisure with correspondingly increasing problems to the individual and to so ciety. Whether or not the generations to come solve these problems depends pretty largely on the boys and girls who are now in our schools. It the education they receive, or will receive, enables them to make democracy function as a way of lifeeit it enables them to solve the problem of the machineeif it teaches them the dignity of honest Workeif it does all these things well, then it is safe to predict that our future Civilization will be much better, indi- vidually and collectively, for all than the one which we have known in the past. it is not enough, however, to expect B. M. HANNA Principal of Norwood High School: Franklin Col- 1 , B.A.; Univ rail of Chicago, MAY ll?7u W4 t a t a. new type of educational program alone can accomplish the goal to be desired. The young people who are participating in the educational pro- grams have a large responsibility it their tomorrows are to be richer and fuller. A willingness to face the day's task squarely, to solve successfully the problems of the moment are most ims portant. Soft living makes for Soft thinking . Progress in a democracy does not come from such thinkers. HAROLD S. BATES Democracy is our most priceless heritage which we must with conscious effort preserve for ourselves and our children. The public schools can and must foster the ideals of liberty which have existed for so long in our country The teachers who have undertaken the education of modem youth must strive unceasingly to maintain the high ideal- ism which is so necessary for Amerie can Democracy. Professional zeal, personal interest and untirinq efforts are needed to come bat forces which would destroy our American way of life. Ignorance and indifference are our greatest enemies. Distractions and lack of cooperation make our task more difficult.
