5 s ' -49 as ' uv' - GENEVA M. SMITH To the Graduates of the Secondary Curriculum These are difficult days in which to know With certainty what is happening in our muddled World. It is even more difficult, in the midst of this confusion, to try to analyze and to inter- pret the forces behind the events. Yet, if our way of living is to survive We must keep on solv- ing the every-day problems and at the same time try to understand these changes, relationships, and invariants which are influencing the future. We, as agents of democracy, are consequently confronted with two problems. The Hrst deals with our vocational responsibilities, and the second with our obligation to think in an orderly manner about those trends which go beyond any one profession. This utilitarian age has caused us to become a nation of specialists. Those attributes which make us highly skilled members of one profession may build Walls which separate us from other groups and prevent us from understanding their problems. The present period demands that we must go beyond these boundaries and try to understand those social, economic, and moral forces which underlie what We consider a superior Way of living. Professional skill alone may be the only requirement of teachers in a totalitarian state, but skill with insight, significance, and faith are required for the preservation and improve- ment of the fundamental and lasting ideals of democracy.
