FOrewoRD The Town Meeting is the general assembly of all the townspeople for their mutual benefit. It is an American institution, an American tradition, the hope and proud heritage of our republic. The Town Meeting was held after the fields and shops were emptied, and day had fallen into night. Evening saw the townsfolk, secure from the darkness and cold, gathered around their fireside. The mellow homestead lights, sprinkled over the countryside, glowed in the darkness. In the village square, the signal light of the town hall shone, beckoning, with its radiance, all the townspeople to the meeting. The people came, with lanterns in hand to light their paths, until the assembled light in the town hall alone, shone o’er the darkened hillsides in warmth and protection, a symbol of security. During the past three hundred years the people throughout New England have met in crude halls or ornate auditoriums for their mutual benefit. They came, each bearing his burden of problems, his claim to rights, and his weight of responsibility, to a common meeting place so designated that rich and poor alike might speak their word freely. Men of different tongues and conflicting interests shared equally in self-government. This was pure democracy, the foundation of our present day American society. Knowledge is the light of the world and was the key to democracy of 1636. We of Tech have come from schools scattered throughout our community. We have come with spirit to the source of light, education for living democratically. The Springfield Technical High School was born in the same cradle of New England that gave birth to the democratic practice of the town meeting. Tech is a general assembly of our young townspeople for their mutual benefit. Verily, it is as a town meeting a democratically functioning society. CHARLES FRANCIS MAHONEY
