w shall have to make over again
in a new way most Of our educational
nethods because we are educating
children for conditions of life 50 diff
fertnt from those Of a hair century
ago. We must believe that culture ara
labor must go hand in hand. We must
not be afraid that harm Will come from
+ he lifting up of any man or woman or
child however humble The right KIND
of education is that which fits boys
girls to live we'll the life which is
their appropriate lot under existing
conditions. Education today is the
greatest problem that confronts our
American craftsmanship whether
North or South. What the pioneers
learned in the school of life must con-
I~scjouslv make our school system min
lister to the solution of our social ana
industrial problems. AS citizens we
must now more than ever face IL
lpublic responsibilities. While trylng
to solve the problem how to secure
more equal distributor of private
wealth among citizens we must also
learn better ways to supply local n
State and National government With
the revenues that hey need for the
carrying on Of their increasing fullc-
lions. All these are not things Tor
You to worry about, but they are
things for you to take an intense m
terest i'm. You may live to see an in
tense process while the pioneer saw an
ieXtensiVe one. and may feel that you
have helped in your day and genera
ton to re-establish on firm foundations
those things (which have always be
Ilonged to the best ideals of American
life
