MR. SELMER H. BERG M.A., University of Minnesota Superintendent ESSENTIALS IN EDUCATION The mastery of subject matter and the development of funda- mental skills and abilities in reading, writing, and arithmetic are necessary tools for intelligent citizenship. Equally im- portant, however, is the development of the physical, mental, social and moral qualities of a well balanced personality. Strong bodies, disciplined minds, and understanding hearts are essential in successful living. The development of these abilities and qualities may be assured through the whole hearted participation in the various activities of your daily program. Busy days make happy days, and che days that make us happy, make us wivse. SELMER H. BERG HZt
