A fine group of young people have been given the sheepskin mark of attainment, too valuable to pass without public comment. It means that each and everyone has passed an important milestone in life’s career, not only important to each individual but likewise to society as a whole. We have seen them grow up and develop, cheer ful, happy, healthy, clear minded, under careful and rigid training. They should be proud of their ac complishment, and the community is well proud of what it has done for them. The modern high school during the last third of a century, is one of the greatest achievements of this free country of ours. In no other nation of the world have educational advantages been brought so close ly to every boy and girl. And in no other nation have so many young people taken this opportunity for im provement. And in no other nation do parents and communities stand so unitedly and strongly behind this development of our youth. The poor, the well to do, and the rich have equal opportunity. The high school is a great democratic leveler. Lines here are not drawn as in colleges and in later life. The poor boy or girl, with a good mind, perhaps under most adverse financial circumstances is given his great chance, and his abilities are recog nized, and his promotions are without handicaps. Democracy in the high school finds its best expres sion. In our public school system its principles are best established. As long as we maintain so well our public schools, we need have no fears of the fu ture of our country. And yet the high school is but a solid stepping stone. Not so long ago the boy or girl stepped from the eighth or ninth grade to a much lower collegiate curriculum. They were young, and few had found themselves, and very few entered the doors of high er education. Now, the last one or two years of high school gives this opportunity, and we witness the colleges of the nation filled beyond capacity. This is proof enough of the value of our four year course in high school, and the place these young people have attained. In the high school the nation finds its scholars, its scientists, its engineers, its philoso phers, its geniuses, its poets, its editors, its home- builders and housekeepers, its statesmen and the American ways of life.
