Because it has brought the great powers together in a common desire to plan for peace, Mr. Barnes sees hope in the Dumbarton Oaks conference. With the aid of America, Mr. Batesole feels that China will become a great industrial power. To perpetuate a true democracy Mr. Berg favors the practice of the Golden Rule. Mr. Beyer believes that China must be dominant in the Far East so that future trouble there can be averted. Mr. Boronr feels that if no profits could be obtained from war, there would no longer be wars. ln the opinion of Miss Boyd the foundation of an enduring peace is justice. Because of mili- tary censorship it is impossible for Lt. Boyd to discuss any issues related to the post-war period. In dealing with post- war unemployment, Miss Brown feels that our first consider- ation should be for returning war veterans. Until we can teach conquered nations the values of democracy, economic control should be established, Mr. Cady feels. To prevent want, a plan of equal distribution should be devised accord- ing to Miss Campbell. 16

But efforts to educate all the people must be greatly stepped-up, and illiteracy, deplorable in a nation of our resources, should be elimi- nated. Our millions of soldiers, returning acquainted with peoples of far-Hung lands, should help educate us all to be World- conscious. Education will be needed to use to greater advantage the increased leisure-time brought by Peace. Hazel G. Putnam 'FUN HAZEL G, PUTNAM B.A. Dean of Girly ARTHUR W. LUNDAHL M.A. Arrirtzml Principal Education has been defined as the process of preparing for better citizenship in a community. All courses at West High School point in that direction. It is our hope that through these courses our grad- uates may realize a happier citizenship and that they may serve their community more efficiently. Arthur W. Lundahl

Dilley Military Training Program Discussed Because it is not in harmony with our ideas of democracy, Miss Carlson does not favor a compulsory military program. Mrs. Coxon favors a plan of educating the German people by allowing their access to a radio and world press. In Miss Currier's estimation the first requisite for future is unselfish consideration for others. lf the United States is to be an example of a truly democratic country, Miss Dentler feels that we must try to work together in better harmony. When China develops a strong unified government without danger of exploitation, she will become the most progressive power in the East feels Miss Depping. Although the Dumbarton- Oaks Conference was a step toward peace, Miss Driebusch feels it will not eradicate war's fundamental causes. Boycott and complete isolation from the civilized world is one solu- tion to the Japanese problem in Miss Fishers opinion. Be- cause of the need of work in conservation in Alaska, Miss Foster feels unemployment for many can be avoided. Only when the United States affects race equality will we have a true democracy states Miss Geddes. In the post-war world, Miss Greenlee is convinced that a lower standard of living will exist.
