Dr. Venn Public education has two main functions. First, to develop an in- formed, educated electorate so that the majority can make wise decisions in a democracy. This is why all people pay taxes to support the public schools whether they have children in the public schools or not. You seniors will soon have this responsibility yourselves. In today's world, most of our country's leaders have recognized that education is the first line of defense for national security. The second purpose of public education is to develop the individuals who are attending public school so their full potentialities are used. This is something that everyone of you as seniors has received as a direct benefit. Your responsibility to see that younger people receive this same opportunity will be yours as long as you are a citizen in this country. Your ability to produce and function effectively as a working member of our society will be the way which you repay this debt. Good luck to each of you who are seniors and may you recognize the opportunities that lie ahead for you. To those of you who will be returning to the Corning schools next year, we believe we will have better educational programs for you and we expect that you will continue to do a better job of improving your education. Grant Venn Superintendent of Schools
