As Young America Is Educated i Our glorious land today 'Neath Education's sway Soars upward still. Its halls of learning fair Whose bounties all may share Behold them everywhere On vale and hill. HIS quotation which is a seldom-sung stanza of America explains briefly our theme, As Young America Is Educated. Ever since the beginning of our government, founded on democratic principles, the one i institution which has progressed is the public school system, which is equalled by no other country in the world. Our plan of education gives each child an equal schooling oppor- tunity regardless of his race, nationality, or creed. Thus, by means of this free education, the United States has become today the greatest democracy in the world. The public has been taught to understand the problems of government and to value their own rights. As long as we can apply our education to help us distinguish between the many forms of tyrannical govern- ments, our democratic form of government will be preserved. s Having realized that the preparation of the youth to take his place as a loyal citizen in the future occurs in the high school, we shall try to show you a typical cross-section of Young America being educated. The privilege that we students in the United States have is that we are permitted to form our own opinions on governmental questions. Not only in the class-room, but also in the participation of extra-curricular activities do we practice the democratic form of government. Consequently, each day in our modern school system the Youth of America is being educated to take its place in our democracy. Therefore, with most of the world in a state of turmoil and chaos, we are proud to be a youth marching to school instead of marching to war. After you have browsed through each page of this volume, we hope that you will realize the privileges and responsibilities which are yours as an American. Accordingly, we do believe that with our system of education as its basis, the United States will carry the torch of light and liberty for the world now at war and soar upward still. THE EDITOR l 101
