WILLIAM A. HOPE SUPERINTENDENT We, the people in this district, state and United States, must strive for better educa- tion. The future belongs to those who believe in it enough to sacrifice for it and to invest in it, and where is society to find more certain returns than in high quality edu- cation? Where is economic and social stagnation more certain than among the people willing to settle for second class education? The truth of the twentieth century is that machines can, and will increasingly, reduce not only the hands, but the minds of men to useless or at best trivial instruments, un- less we can tend effectively to the business of unlocking the potential of each child to its maximum. I like to think that the 'upward reach' of education is inseparable from the aspirations and goals of its people. I believe both reflect and compliment each other. Most in- formed observers tell us that it is more and more a fact that the economic and cul- tural progress of our community, state and nation depend upon the strength of educa- tion. 6
