The Conning Tower of 19 3 2 To the Graduates of the Four Year Commerce Curriculum Education in any form must be useful. Commercial education, the education in which you are primarily interested, is merely a specialized form of general education. Education must make its possessor more useful to society, not only by making the individual economically self-supporting, but also by making him a better citizen. To be economically self-supporting, one must not only be trained for some specific task but must also have a broader training which will permit or make possible the adaption of the individual to his environment. To be a good citizen one must certainly have health, ideals, and ability to earn a living. The training which you have received here has been twofold in its purpose; first, to prepare you for the profession of teaching, and second, to prepare you for citizenship in the various communities in which you are to teach. Now, as commercial teachers, you are in turn charged with the responsibility of seeing that your students receive an education which will make them useful to society. Your success will in a large measure determine our success. Your training for this work is by no means complete. Your duty is to serve the needs of your community. These needs cannot be determined from text books; and so, as teachers, you will need to study the community at first hand. By training students for the type of work needed, you can render them a great service by leading them from over-crowded work into fields where their services will be in demand. In your effort to serve your community, do not make the mistake of making your vocation your avocation. Have an interest in things other than your work so that you can forget your troubles for a while, and then when you go back to them, they will not seem so great. Take an active part in the organizations that are promoting commercial education—this will keep you out of the ruts of stagnation and on the road of progress. R. J. Ernst. [25]
