Luther John Pollard To the Graduates of the Junior High School Curriculum Any form of government is developed and preserved by its system of education. The public education in Soviet Russia aims to promote communism. In Italy public education is functioning to further fascism. In the United States our system should attempt to preserve the ideals of democracy. In a democracy provisions should be made to educate for leadership those who, because of their superior intelligence, may benefit society by such education. Leaders thus developed should be interested, primarily, in the welfare of the democracy as a whole, recognizing the importance and place of every economic and social organization within the democracy. Next in importance to that of training wise leaders is the need of developing an intelligent group of followers. To this end a democracy should, through its educational system, give every individual an opportunity .to progress as far and as fast as possible in that field of work for which he is adapted. Whatever success may be obtained by the junior high school in its directing of students into the channels for which they are best fitted, will depend largely upon the wisdom and understanding of the junior high school teacher. The work of these teachers is extremely important, and offers unlimited possibilities in educational guidance.
