T Citizens of Tomorrow ODAY'S students, tomor- row's citizens: each owes it to himself and to his coun- try to develop and use to the utmost his ability in order to maintain the cherished tradi- tions for which his forefathers stood. Desirable traits may be found in the lives of those who have made history. Unworthy traits are there also, as stumbling blocks for us, to avoid. It is important that a student be trained mentally, morally, and physically to hold sacred the admirable quali- ties of manhood. I A SUPERINTENDENT W. E. MATTHEWS Future democracy will be what future citizens as individuals make it, by contributing their little or their great part to the Welfare of all peoples of all nations, thus contributing to a peaceful and progressive world. Self train- ing and sober thought develop students of today into leaders or worthy followers in our closely linked world of tomorrow. WL E. MATTHEWS. OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT MATTHEWS 14 1 it ls !
