Progress For Peru 0VERYTHING which does not move forward stag- nates. Still water becomes impure; an unused arm atrophies; even a quiescent, self satisfied civilization holds its own only for a time and then retrogrades to the lower level from whence it came. So it is with education. The knowl- edge that would have been sufficient a thousand years ago, or a hundred years ago,—aye, even a generation ago, will not suffice for the present generation. During a portion of the Middle Ages Europe became apathetic toward education and failed to reach forward for new knowledge. Soon the knowledge that it had taken centuries to accumulate became lost to the great mass of people and generation after gen- eration groped in mental darkness before the awakening occurred. Likewise a Teachers College that does not have a pro- gressive program, that does not look forward to newer and better things in education, that does not give to its students the cream of subject matter and method as determined by the latest investigations,—the Teachers College that does not do these things will fail to measure up to its full responsi- bility. May we of the Peru Faculty and Student body consecrate our time and talents to the end that Peru may continue to be known as a Teachers College abreast of the times. W. R. Pate, President.
