The President’s M essa ge A government of and by the people succeeds only if all the people possess the wisdom and the will to participate in the formulation of policies the country must pursue. Both the wisdom and the will arc the goals sought in the program of the public school. Only as the schools graduate students who arc familiar with current social, political, and economic problems and who arc willing to use their knowledge and their energies for community betterment, promotion of the national welfare, and a strengthening of “one world” can democracy succeed. To be a teacher in these times represents a tremendous challenge. The president’s message, therefore, is a reminder that the privilege of teaching carries with it heavy accompanying responsibilities. The world must be a better place in which to live because teachers in classrooms have given to children broader vision and a greater dedication to the service of mankind. To all of the graduates of the Class of 1947, may I say for the faculty and staff, “Our best wishes go with you.” 6 Dr. Howard R. Jones
