J - ' THE 012101.51 ' S- Editorial THE SCHOOL AND THE COMMUNITY lt has been wisely said that an army of school boys is more powerful than a large standing army. Many more wars have been won by one man than by a whole army of destructive murderers, for that is what soldiers are. Henry Clay prevented two wars and prolonged the Civil War until it was beyond human power to stop, by treaties, compromises, or documents of that kind, that miserable institution, which for so many years held men, women, and children in shackles. While even to-day, as much as ever, we can see a few learned men preventing wars, riots, and unfriendliness among countries in Europe. lf it has been thus in the past, is this way in the present, it surely shall be the same in the future. The day shall NOT come when one man shall climb stone steps up to a platform and say who shall do this and who shall do that. Why is it not coming? Because there will be too many learned men and women. Our descendants shall be no less powerful with education and knowledge than our ancestors have been with powder and ball. The school-boy of to-day is being taught the mistakes and blunders of yesterday. He is learning WHAT was wrong with this way of settling disputes, and WHY it was wrong. He is learning how to make correct treaties of his own. He is learning how to conduct public meetings, and how to manipulate this large machine which baffles so many-our government-so that he may settle any dispute that may arise with intelligence. What would the communities be were it not for the schools? Would there be cement roads. cement side-walks, beautiful boulevards, and electric lights in towns, and large beautiful productive farms around these towns? l think not. lt is because of the schools that we have these things. Were it not for our schools of the United States we would be in a similar state to the black man of Africa. There would not be as many people in this part of the country, and those would be only savages. Parents and friends, the boys and girls who are in the schools of to-day will make better citizens than you are, or ever dare try to be. The communities in which these boys and girls go will be free from riots, wars, and unfriendliness which the world is struggling with to-day, because they are learning the correct way to manage these things. Editor-in-Chief. The purpose of the publication of this volume of The Oriole, is to give the students something by which to remember their school days as well as their teachers and classmates. We have put forth every effort to make this undertaking a success. Notwithstanding the handicaps and mishaps, we are sure you will enjoy this little book which we know will grow dearer to you as the years pass by. We wish to thank all who have contributed in any way in the publication of this annual. The book is presented to you by the Senior Class of I928. Editor. ' ill' 1 Q 2 B Mi ' Page 7
