1945 Editorial In America today we have come to regard an education, at least through high school, not only as important to the welfare of our Nation, but as the birthright of every boy and girl; a right which they may demand of society. This is as it should be if the United States is to maintain its position as the foremost nation of the World; not merely from a physical standpoint but, more important, from a social and spiritual aspect. Too many of us, however, are prone to forget that with every privilege and right there is an inescapable duty. The more profound the right, the greater the responsibility of those who avail themselves of it. In the next twelve months thousands of schools will be closed and hundreds of thou- sands of youngsters will be denied their right to an education. The reason for this? No teachers are available, even though high school graduates are being hired as teachers in many states. And why are there no teachers? Because high school graduates are not enter- ing the teaching profession, because even high school graduates all too frequently are paid more than teachers who have spent four strenuous years in college and thousands of dollars to prepare for teaching. Whose fault is this? The people of these United States who have availed themselves of a right but who have neglected a duty. As high school graduates, you have obtained your right. Do not forget that you now have a duty.

We all enjoyed sharing his company which would continually bring on some form of excitement. His enlistment into the Navy of these United States has meant a great vacancy in the Senior Class. We sincerely hope that he will have luck in his nautical career and we look forward to his return. Augusta L.
