THE HASSAYAMPER Foreword Our public school system is one of our country’s most valuable attributes, and, during the past twenty-five years, it has improved immensely. Formerly our schools imparted knowledge, leaving the student to himself, later to ac- quire wisdom: but now the schools are able, within some limitations, to impart wisdom to the student. Wisdom often succeeds where knowledge fails. Wisdom is not wholly a gift. It may come by training, and it comes only by the ability to think accurately. Many persons can speak, and it is a rare and valuable accomplishment, but the ability to think accurately in one lan- guage is of far more value than the ability to speak well in five languages. Moreover, our schools are very properly teaching that patriotic service in civil life is as much a war power as engagement in the field, as the man or woman who helps to keep this noble1 being we call a State in the paths of justice and civilization, the effect of which is felt in the comfort and happi- ness of the people and the safety of human lives:—the man who accurately thinks out great problems:—who contends for fair play:—who constructs highways of commerce, builds commercial enterprises;—or brings to pass true reforms and evolves livable conditions of life that allure men and women from misery and despair to freedom, happiness and independence, is as true a benefactor to mankind, if his work he done in the school-room, in the silence of some committee-room, in the farm, in the mine, in the field, in the work- shop, as if such work be accomplished with the pomp and circumstance of war, the floating of flags, and the call of silver bugles. May T not predict a glorious future for this class? May I venture the suggestion that time will justify the pride which your parents, teachers and friends feel in you today ? Surely T am not too bold when I assert that I be- lieve the future will say of each of you that your life was brilliant with the jewels of good deeds, that you always strove for the upbuilding, the advance- ment and the happiness of the human race. It is in the striving for these truly noble ends that you will find the ‘‘durable satisfactions of life. T’afte Seven United Staten Senator from Arizona.
