ADivuN1sTRAT1oN? My ffl - - -ylflll-'W Democracy grows when aided by t s tl? h study and practical experience, help old D mking toward the goal of freedom and equa ity for a peoples, irrespective of race or creed. Democracy cannot be achieved merely in social studies classes, but in all fields of endeavor: the teamwork dis- played by a baseball team, the truths of equality that sci- ence unfolds, the knowledge of our heritage gainednfrom all peoples through the study of languages, the experience of working together in manual arts classes and of learn- ing to appreciate the fine arts. Today's youth places trust in their teachers to help mold a world in which peace will be assured. The teachers hold in their hearts and minds the power to equip the youth of today to meet the challenge of making it possible for all peoples to live together in equality. To these men and women, who must stand up to a world seared by hate and intolerance we say, Thank you for that challenge.
