Guy Edwin Speare To the Graduates of the Three Year Elementary Curriculum You arc happy in your choice of teaching in the elementary school. You will be associated with children whose eager curiosity will forever intrigue you. You will sec them mature in conduct and understanding with the passing days. You will hold as a sacred charge the privilege of helping them gain the goals of fundamental learning. To satisfy the deepest cravings of childhood, to aid in the doing of the worthy things that life makes necessary, to disclose the lures of higher and nobler ways and insights, to guide invisible springs of action into streams of helpful, cooperative living, to foster originality and crcativcness, and to maintain vital, informal, and child centered school homes will be your constant inspired task that we call teaching. You will all the time remember that the human spirit is dynamic, creative, eternal, of the stuff of divinity. To meet this lasting challenge you will need alertness, initiative, and religious devotion. You must incessantly refresh yourselves at the fountains of learning. 1 wish for you a place of service in some New Hampshire community where you may find your opportunity.
