What is a World s Fair? It is a circus and a classroom, a voyage around the „ world, a look into the past and a peep L show into the future, characterized by coloM excitement, nostalgia, aching muscles' and tired feet, but rarely by boredo j. O The aetjffemic fare of a school offers «Ivariety of goods to be chosen by the careful shopper. Teachers serve as guides to the Universe of Wisdom and Truth as they journey with the students through the Land of Learning. The past is as close as the nearest textbook; the future, but an open door. A student is at once overwhelmed by the awesome- ness of all the knowledge offered him. There are moments of exhaustion, but also moments of great reward. Education, the key to life, opens doors to freedom. To communicate and get along with our fellow human beings at home and abroad, we must have an understanding of their customs, their thoughts, their problems and their be- liefs. Ignorance is the wellspring of misunderstanding; education, the foun- tainhead of truth. Universal peace cannot be achieved until all men are educated in the ways of humanity. The theme of the New York World's of 1964. 1965 is Peace Through,. HkersfandhRj. ft is to this intejma- Qqftt)al 9oab t$at M dediccRW the 196fr- MILESTONE.'
