The essay, entitled "Why My Education Is Important to the Future of America," follows: By PA,TTI PROPST We are facing today a future .----v .Jjy-.v-lt y.ncl UP'.r,;.JL..jpi. pin; other generation. We have a great civilization to save or lose; there fore we must prepare ourselves to do the utmost to save our civi lization. This preparation may be accomplished only through the ed ucation of each individual to his fullest. Education will produce the sci entists, doctors, lawyers and other professional people who will ad vance the culture and civilization of America. The modern child is surrounded by mechanical gadgets not dreamed of a generation ago. Tli future promises even more rapid change with the develop ment of new sources of energy. We must have the workers to uti lize and improve these tools and devices. All must share in the responsi bility of continuing our democrat ic government. Without this privi lege, the educational standards would be lowered. In order to Ifave the benefits of democracy, the people must know and under stand their right to vote and the principles for which they are vot ing. Our education should be aimed at producing individuals who will be able to maintain a self-governed state because they arc themselves self - governed, self controlled and self - reliant. Through their effort and ingenuity they manipulate the environment and recreate the world in every succeeding generation. Thomas Jefferson said: "Educate and in form the mass of the people. They are the only sure reliance for the Doort -Open 12:45 P.M. preservation of our liberty." The love of the beautiful and the desire to haw a part in Cre ating it must be shared by the many instead of a chosen well- educated few. This love and de sire may be instilled in children by encouragement to learn and develop their latent possibilities Today the aim of education is to enable each individual child to make the best use of ail his abil ities and to acquire the skills needed in daily life to become a useful, active,- contributing mem- her nf the rnmmunitv. I lie cnua oi today is surround ed by many "pushbutton" gadgets and mechanical aids but still he must be tau'ht to think. To be caught up into the world of thought and to be able to think clearly through any situation Is to be truly educated. My personal education is Impor tant because it is my desire to develop my skills and capacities to make me a more competent citizen of my community and my country. Children are the ones who will decide and make the fu turc of America. As a pediatrician I hope to be able to improve the minds and bodies of a certain per centage of the children of the United States. So our country will not become a nation of weaklings, both physically and mentally, peo ple arc desperately needed to work in this field I have chosen. I hope that my contribution will aid in bettering our nation. SHORT HAUL GREENFIELD, Ind.
