Education of the youth has been a fundamental part of every great civilization. The subject matter and methods of teaching have varied with the time, the place, and the surrounding conditions, but wherever a civilization has arisen we find some systematic method of instruction. Palatial school buildings and vast financial out lays for equipment backed by stringent education laws testify to the belief of the American people in the education and protection of the youth of the nation. The very destiny of a country depends upon the instruction offered to the younger generation. Educational advancement has kept pace with research in scientific and industrial fields. From kindergarten to university we have developed a system of free education which is generally accepted as the very basis of our democracy.
