-76. me 01444 of 1941 Teaching is a noble profession. The fact that you have spent four years in preparation to be- come efficient teachers in our American public schools shows ambition. In order to realize this aspiration, you must have, in addition to your training, within you the ability to think clearly on all problems, and a desire to serve society in making sure for your pupils a continuance of the American way of life. Your college has stood for over fifty years for the development of teachers, who through a thorough study of the advantages of our demo- cratic way of life, have learned that they owe a definite duty to the cause of democracy. They have discharged this obligation by transmitting high ideals to their students, and in developing within the hearts of the boys and girls in our public schools the attitudes and loyalties on which our free society depends for its very survival. The teacher is a member of a recognized pro- fession. He maintains one of the major institu- tions of our civilization, one which opens the doors of opportunity to growing boys and girls, and finally inducts them into the privileges of our American community life. The good teacher, in the face of all temptations to use his own power to dominate the young, remembers his highest privilege is to release their powers and foster their growth. In the near future we hope you will enter the teaching profession. Your obligation first, last, and all the time when you face a class of American boys and girls in our public schools, is to instill into their minds the true value of our democracy, so that they may continue our American way of life.
