The School os o Preparation for Citizenship By C. A. DYKSTRA, City Manager, Cincinnati In the modern World all of us are citizens and cannot help it. We either enter life as citizens, or in the course of time take on citizenship. In a. sense, We live two lives-one as individual, economic and social units, and the other as citizens, partlclpators in a great public enterprise. It has been a commonplace in the field of education that the school must prepare us for living our individual lives. We now realize that since the school is our most import- ant training ground, it must undertake al- so to prepare us for this common enter- prise of citizenship. As life becomes more complex each year, the things We must do together through political or govern- mental agencies in- crease in number and in difficulty. More and more We must approach our c o m m o n problems with trained intelli- gence. Our City is calling to its young men and Women year after year for eiective and inform- ed service. In pro- C. A. DYKSTRA portion as the schools graduate young men and women who understand their duties as citizens and assume their obligations in our industrial society, they meet a fundamental need. May I bring to the Western Hills High School, its teachers and students, the challenge of modern municipal life, and urge upon you consideration of this growing opportunity that the school has to guide the destinies of the public life of the future.
