these, Brown, established in Rhode Island, and Uni- versity of Pennsylvania had members of various re- ligious sects on their Bonrd of Trustees, Thus early in colonial days America showed that deep interest in education which wns later to make ■■ ' lORSible our great school system. Today there are schools for everyone. Each school is a small world, where children learn to meet and solve their problems. It doesn ' t matter whether it is ' a fine large city school or a small one-room school. The American flag flies above that school, and within, the teacher is training the future citizens. ' Vithin these walls is M future President, a future Congress, and our judges of some future supreme court. A democratic spirit prevails in our public school system. No distinction is made because of race, color, or wealth. Rich and poor sit side by side and face their problems together. Together they study the history of America nd American G-overnment, Together they learn of their duties as American citizens. In school the child orepares himself to be a waie-earner. ' Vith the aid of the teachers, the stu- dent choos-s a voc=:tion, rorof ession, or trade which appeals to his interests. With the aid of teachers he trains himself for this future work For instance, in the home economics deriprtment, the girl learns of health needs: she learns to sew, to coo :, to budget, to r ian a home. These girls are our future homemakers, wives and mothers. Our future citi ' en trained to meet the ever widening o-n ortunities for American life. Vhen we wish to s.-e the symbol of America we have only to look t the school. Our public schools :ir? making our country gr ' t. These public schools •-re our monuments, the gre ' - test monument in the world. A builder biilded a temple, He wrought it with grace and skill; Pillars and groins and arches All fashioned to work his will I ' Aen said as they saw its oeauty It shall never know decay. Great is thy skill, C builder; Thy t».me shall end are for aye.
