EDUCRTIOn We believe the responsibility of education to the larger society of world relationships requires the development of an understanding that the world is a community of nations. Transportation and communication make peoples living in the most distant points of the earth our near neighbors. Therefore, education must help develop an understanding that the welfare of each nation is dependent on the welfare of all other nations. We must learn to work together to utilize the human and natural resources of the world for the welfare of all peoples. Education must help develop an understanding that the differences of the peoples of the world are largely cultural differences. Undesirable cultural patterns may be changed through education. This means there is no superior race or superior nation. WALTER A. ANDERSON. Assistant Superintendent of Schools.
