Presidents Message The primary function of the public school is to train future citizens capable of living in a democratic society and meeting problems in an intelligent manner. The state has charged the Iowa State Teachers College with the responsibility of preparing teachers who have the ability to instruct and guide the youth of our communities in their constant guest for worthy and purposeful democratic living. The ability to live as a true citizen demands a broad knowledge of the origin and de- velopment of the basic principles underlying our form of government. Each citizen should know the struggles and sacrifices which were necessary to establish our present society, and the privileges and obligations resting upon him. However, mere knowledge does not suffice. A dynamic democracy demands citizens capable of practicing, as well as knowing, the principles of this form of government. Our college community includes some two thousand citizens. Within this organization, we find all the opportunities and problems of dwelling together as a democratic people. Here, under guidance, future teachers have the opportunity of practicing citizenship. This year war has come to our college community. This is not a new experience. During the history of the college, war has trod our campus on several occasions. Such a time accentuates our obli- gations as well as our privileges. The present generation of citizens of our college com- munity is already meeting this test of allegiance in a forceful manner. Through an understanding of the essential principles underlying our society and an op- portunity to practice these fundamentals in The City Upon The Hill , future teachers are trained to impart the democratic way of living to the rising generations in the schools of our state. Thus we hope to make a significant contribution toward perpetuating a successful and Worthy democratic form of government. Malcobn pace
