Eva Earll Furlong To the Graduates of the Secondary Curriculum Never has the obligation of service, bestowed by your Alma Mater upon her graduates, held greater significance than it holds today, when the great need of the world is for intelligent, understanding, individual participation in the life of our democracies. Your professional training has been along the lines of actual living experiences, of ever-changing human problems, rather than of acquiring abstract knowledge. According to your teaching philosophy, you should evidence no unguided, selfish, personal ability, but should throw wholeheartedly your unselfish, individual power into a mass of force and trained skill such as the world has never before known. This is your obligation, your service,—to meet with intelligent co-operation, unlimited educational, social, and political problems that constantly require re-thinking, re-adjusting, re-acting. In a democracy like ours there needs to be a great deal of adult straight thinking and acting. In your schoolroom with your evaluations of the things of life, with your philosophy and technique, you arc helping to lay in those under your guidance, the basic foundations for such adult thinking and acting. In the forward movement of civilization, there have been developed small areas of progress, then greater ones, also those that arc immeasurable in vastness, the results of the work of individuals, of groups, of masses. “A single star, a group of stars, Then myriads of scattered stars, Break up the darkness of the night And make it gloriously bright —” Our faith in you goes with you in all your efforts. Eva Earll Furlong
