JOHN W. THOMAS Superintendent Bachelor of Science Central Missouri State Teachers College Master of Arts University of Missouri V e are indebted to Dr Horace Mann, the American who did more than any other in the establishment of our great system of free public schools, for the concise, but comprehensive advice to young people which I am honored to quote, as follows: You were made to be industrious; temperate; clean and neat in your person and dress, and gentlemanly and ladylike in your manners; kind, and generous; to learn; and to be moral and religious May your own efforts, aided by divine goodness, enable you to fulfill the purposes of your creation. HARRY B. SUTTER Principal Bachelor of Science in Education Southv est Missouri State Teachers College Master of Arts in Secondary Education University of Missouri In American democracy, each citizen must accept responsibility for living a worthy private life and also help to solve the social problems which confront the American people in their local, state, national, and world communities Pupils in our schools must learn to make intelligent choices through democratic procedures. Teachers, school administrators, and parents must realize that our freedom can be lost if each of us does not accept his responsibilities as a member of the social or political group. Pat' Seven
