TO US AND OUR GRADUATES
This week Hermiston Union High has turned out
a new class of graduates—the largest in its history.
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.
