I H. IENKINS GLADYS McDOWELL W, A. CUNNINGI-IAM W. A, HAMMOND TREASURER CLERK PRESIDENT SECRETARY The Power of The Schools The philosophy underlying the public school holds that in a democracy education must strike its roots freely into the subsoil of society and draw from it new and fresh elements of life and power. lt also holds that the diffusion and the advancement of knowledge among all the people should be the first great care of any commonwealth. The more widely the school seeks to diffuse and advance knowledge, the more faithful and farsighted does the commonwealth become as the trustee of a sacred inheritance, and the deeper is its sense of responsibility. The public school, despite the obstacles in its progress, has given the American people opportunities which they could not have enjoyed in equal measure by any other means. Underlying the school is a wholesome phi- losophy which has served and continues to serve a noble purpose. lts power is in its aim. Our own local school board has accepted this challenge and is endeav- oring to provide opportunities for the youth of our city.
