2 , n Vud Education of tomorrow must give the student a philosophy of life that will ii c meaning to existence and those good moral and intellectual habits which will put support behind character and Ixipe under endeavor. We feel that Doctor Ward already has implanted within us a philosophy which if prevalently practiced would be adequate to the task of bringing about a more civilized, peaceful and intelligent world. As a man of demo- cratic vision, he feels that the development of an individual ' s abilities for his own happiness and for the benefit of all will produce, as a natur?J out- growth, a better society. The practical application of his philosophy is evidenced in the Normal School by the opportunity which the students have of playing an active part in the life of the school. He holds that if a person is to be an efficient teacher he must be well trained in the activities that will be required of him in the field; if he is to live and help others to live in a democratic state it is but reasonable that he must learn of the responsibilities that will be his. The ideals which Doctor Ward has given to the class of 1939 will serve us well when we become the teachers of tomorrow.
