I The college or university is a still more advanced means of learning. Here the boy or girl is more on his own than he has ever been before. He has new responsibilities thrust upon him, such as learning to live with others without the aid of a mother or father, keeping his studies at the correct standard without constant pushing from super- visors, a complicated social life, and financial management. He must study diligently and choose his courses wisely, carefully considering his future needs. He must learn how to think and act for the best advantage of his country and himself. In all these different types of schooling, the main driving force behind each is the educator, the teacher or professor. On him rests the future of America. The children of today are the citizens of tomorrow, and as long as we realize this, know that the teachers and the students are working harmoniously toward a common goal, America's destiny is well secured SECOND HONOR ESSAY FREEDOM In The Commumty EILEEN O NEIL Freedom is the responsibility of everyone No one person is exempt from the respon sibilities which freedom creates The community an organization of individuals living together is a minute part of our country but when we consider all communities towns and cities we have the United States in its entirety As a representat ve sampling of the nation the community has many obligations and duties toward the individual Let us consider some of the most important of these One of the most prominent on the list would be the maintenance of suitable educational facilities These facilities would include the provision of teachers buildings and equip 1 - .
