THE EAGLE 5 WILTON ACADEMY AND PEACE NIV ERSAL peace is offering a great and exciting challenge to Wilton Academy and to every other school in the country. Many do not yet realize that any challenge has been offered, but it is the opportunity and the duty of the high schools to recognize and meet this pressing demand to teach young America the ways of peace, the skills of a progressing nation, and the intelligent use of the tools of democracy. Above all, tolerance must be taught. No plan for peace can succeed in our modern world without a strong foundation of tolerance, jus- tice and trust among all nations. We can lay that foundation by teaching and by living. The influence of the school spreads throughout the community and thence to larger groups. In the new atomic age it is no longer possible for the untrained, unskilled person to obtain a worthwhile position, yet it is impossible for many to go to college for extensive prepara- tion for their life work. The only solution is for the high schools to give more and better vocational training. Many schools are doing an excellent job at this and certainly W. A. should increase its facilities for this type of the future. A commercial or busi- ness course is really needed, and plans have al- ready been department. It has been proved conclusively that the best way to learn is by doing. Let the schools re- member that. Let them realize that they are teaching the citizens of tomorrowg that they are guiding the future leaders and followers. May they teach them wisely by living democracy in the schools that these young Americans may keep Peace on earth, good-will to men. In the past, Wilton Academy has always stood proudly in the front, now it will surely accept the tremendous challenge and rise vic- torious in peace. training in begun for the addition of such a Donalene Mooar '46. WILTON ACADEMY AND THE FUTURE OVV that this long war is over we are confronted with the great task of re- conversion. Our school is faced with that same problem and although a comparatively small group, it is to play an important part. All things change with the years and so must Wilton Academy. It is an excellent school now, but it must be made better. This cannot be accomplished without considerable time, efffort, and money, but I think that with the years our school will be improved. Wilton Academy, five or ten years from now, will be greatly changed. Within a very few years, the business course will be added to the curriculum. It goes without saying that this department is very important for it offers stu- dents numerous advantages. I think the buildings will be enlarged to ac- commodate the ever increasing number of stu- dents who enroll each year. There might be a separate building to house the tools and mater- ials of the Agriculture Department. At present it is rather limited for space. The Home Eco- nomics Department will have a larger room and additional equipment. Maybe W. A. will even have a separate cafeteria, an innovation which would be of great benefit to the students and would relieve the Home Economics De- partment of much work. These are just a few of the changes which may take place in the next five or ten years. When I consider what Wilton Academy means to me, I think of the Band, the Glee Clubs, Assemblies, Chapels, and the classes in which I have spent profitable and interesting years. I would like to believe that it will give other students even better years. This can be accomplished not only by new buildings and equipment, but by the good will and friendly spirit which is always found at Wilton Academy. Constance Smith '46. AGRICULTURE LOOKS FORWARD GRICULTURE is the oldest and most basic industry of mankind. It is the in- dustry that produces from the soil the food and clothing necessary for daily living. Many things are made with agricultural products as raw materials. American Agriculture has produced an abundance of food and supplies for our army and our people as well as for our allies. Since the war is over we must strive to find an outlet for' our surplus goods as soon as the demand falls below production levels, which it inevitably will do unless we can maintain our foreign markets.
