Duncan Speaks af Prospect Graduation Prospect State Representa tive Robert Duncan, speaking at commencement exercises at Prospect High school Wednes day evening, said Americans can avoid the pitfalls of other societies in history only through education and partici pation in government and world affairs. Recalling the world situa tion at the time of his own graduation 20 years ago, the speaker compared the crises then confronting the freedom- loving nations with the perils faced by the democracies to day. He blamed ignorance, apathy and, indifference on the part of the free peoples for the spread of tyranny over the earth in the years preced ing World War I. Such countries as France and Germany found it easier to rely on the "father image" than to participate and to gov ern themselves. Activity in affairs of government on all levels, development of inter est in growing problems of ed ucation and keeping abreast with the current world situa tion will help to keep the for mula in balance and prevent the spread of tyranny in pres ent times, he said.
