Cut Land of Qpportunity America is the land of opportunity. This all- important fact has been proved not only by its citizens, but by the immigrant and refugee who is ignorant even of our language. With his lack of education he finds America full of opportunity, Vfe young people, born here, take our bless- ings too much for granted. They are granted us, but only by the labor and thought and foresight of previous generations. Yet these need to be steadied. By preparing for the next generation We can further complete the opportunities offered. We should take advantage of the supreme oppor- tunity of education and use this not to make some- thing for ourselves, but to make something of our- selves. This ambition should be foremost in our minds, not to get rich, but to enrich America. Today it is required that We prepare for de- fense, but the United States is too Vital a country to be merely on the defensive. lt should be realiz- ed by all of us that our greatest strength lies in the fact that We are still building our country. Our problems are our biggest opportunity!
