EDUCATIUN FOR DEMOCRACY In the course of our history as a people, building on the heritage bequeath- ed trom the Old World, we have forged from experience a new great social faith. It is easy to set down the essential article of this social faith. It is: that, politically and socially, All men are created equal , that the fundamental purpose of society and institutions is to enhance the worth, the dignity and the power of the individual human being, that every child, whether of noble or mean ancestry, shall have an equal opportunity for growth, position and re- sponsibilityp that farmers, mechanics, merchants and housewives shall be able to rule themselves, that the liberties of thought, speech, expression, and religion are the true essence of a government based on the great faith of the people in the individual. The tragic destruction of the social faith in Europe fills us with confusion and terror, Frantically we strike out to slay the mortal adversary of our faith. But back of this physical effort to hold fast to that which is good, must be the inquiring, creative, adventurous mind, seeking, through the wise use of the great resources of our land, to promote the general welfare. The worth of the individual must be recognized, whatever be his mental or physical capacity, in that he must be given the chance to share equally with all the opportunities and responsibilities of this great faith. Education must fit him for this responsibility, as Pope, the poet, aptly says: 'Tis education forms the commond mind, lust as the twig is bent the tree's incIined. IRA C. Gnoss Supervising Principal if if i i' The problem of life is not to make life easier but to make men stronger. -David Starr Iordan In these days of chaos and uncertainty, we are fearful that democracy may not survive. We are probably most concerned that our easy, pleasant type of living will end and instead we shall have to face great sacrifices and hardship. We have long regarded democracy as an easy way of life, but democracy that is enduring does not promise a soft existence but rather a life of great personal sacrifice. Young people of today should not anticipate the future with too much anxiety. The pleasant life of the past may not continue, but life may be more satisfying because it is more challenging and is infused with a higher purpose. America will still be a great democracy if youth will gird itself for the trying experiences which may arise. We do not need more inventions or scientific knowledge, but we need young men and women who are strong-strong in body, mind, and character. The challenge to American youth is to become physically strong to endure hardship, to exercise honest, courageous thinking, and to cultivate habits and ideals worthy of the highest type of manhood and womanhood. Whatever the future may hold in store for us, if American youth is strong, democracy will endure. WILBUR C. WOLF High School Principal
