THE UNIQUE FUNCTION OF EDUCATION IN AMERICAN DEMOCRACY The future of democratic society is challenged, not only in Europe and Asia, but in the United States. For educational leadership to blink that fact is to cast off the mandate of eternal vigilance and accept the facile optimism that paralyzes preventative measures. Once more, as in the early days of the Republic, the maintenance of democratic society swings into center of educational interest. Any conception of education that ignores this critical situation is false to its trust. And the effort of the schools to deal with it constructively lifts educational leadership out of the routine of pedagogy into the realm of bold and creative thinking which the founders of the Republic dared to enter. Neither educators nor citizens at large can expect to enjoy liberty without deserving it. Human affairs do not run that way.

Because it represents the world of tomorrow—our tomorrow—, it is closely interwoven with out aforementioned purpose. The trylon and the perisphere are the Fair’s outstanding features, and they naturally constitute a background for our Portal. Do not let the preceding paragraphs camouflage our primary intention, that of capturing and cherishing in written and photographic form those persons and incidents which were instrumental in making our school days such joyous ones. Someday from the pages of this book to some of us will leap felicitous memories, and all the efforts of this staff will have been repaid a hundred fold. With sincere appreciation to Mr their invaluable aid and kindly advice, I 9 j
