WE SUSTAIN y THE AMERICAN IDEAL By DR. FRANK W. BALLOU Superintendent of Public Schools T IS with real pride that once again the Superintendent of Schools greets the Cadet Corps through the medium of its annual publication, 'llltl-3 An.ltfTAN1'. Uxer the long period of years that this organization has served the local schools, our laith in the young men who make up the Cadet Corps has been profound. lt was upon this same expression of faith-a faith in a democracy-that the American rcpuh- lic was founded. It was this faith which through the years hecame incorporated into the many political. social, economic. educational. and religious institutions that have characterized our national life. And it is this same faith upon which we huild our hopes today lor the preservation of our nation and all the greatness it has achieved and will achieve. The training which the cadets have received has served to develop a spirit of cooperation. to mold character, to create respect for authority. and to prompt dutiful sery ice. ldcals have been set up and attained to a great extent hy all of its mcmlmcrs, which achievements stand as guides in adult life. For those students who aspire to hecome cadets in the coming years, may thc past attainments stand as goals for them. It is through the vigor of a strong and virile pcoplc. and through the orderly development of their capacities and institutions that we must sustain the American ideal and attain a stable and enduring civilization. The Cadet Corps serves to bring this American ideal into reality. May the organization continue to serve the young men. the schools. and the citizens of the District for all time. lhe Bullis A fi School . . fi f At Silver Sprung l .- - W. F. BULLIS, 1 1 QF, 0 .
