GOV. MILLIKEN'S
MESSAGE TO
OXFORD TEACHERS

Norway, Me, May 17.-(SpeciaD-
Governor Carl f. Milliken, who is at
tending the Conference of Governors
/ in connection with the win the War
! for Permanent Peace" convention in
1 Philadelphia, today sent the following
messages to the teachers of Oxford
county who are in attendance upon
the Oxford County Teachers lnsti-
! tute at Norway:
1T is a matter Of sincere regret to
me that an imperative gaSement
fOrhids my being present in response
to the kind invitation OF Your pro-
gram committee.
Il have six perfectly good reasons
at home for being interested in all
that pertains to Schools-the Oldest
being nearly sixteen and the youngest
three years Of age. | have also
taught school myself and served for
fifteen years as a member of a school
board.
But not only personally, but from
State and national point of view /
am keenly concerned just now for the
welfare of the schools We are en-
gagged in a death grapple with the
spirit of military despotism that
seeks to enslave mankind and destroy
the fruits of twenty centuries of edu-
cation and civilization. Our i'm
mediate task has been eloquently
phrased by the President as being
that of making the world safe for
Democracy.
We must not overlook the cor
responding task of seeing to it that
our American Democracy is made
and kept safe enough and fine enough
for the world. The coming genera
ton will have to deal with unex-
ampled problems of government in
the process of reconstruction that
must follow the war. In that crisis
we shall stand or fall according to the
character of our average citizen and
those citizens are now getting their
training very largely in school rooms
such as those over which YOU preside
with all due regard to the inf1u-
ence of home and other surroundings
it Is probably true that school life
forms the largest segment of inf1u-
ence in the life of the average child.
1t is of immense Importance for the
future Of America that the school
life of the children should be made
wholesome and inspiring through
these years of stress and strain. You
who do your duty faithfully in this
respect in the rural village or at the
crossroads are helping to meet the
great crisis of tomorrow as truly as
those who risk their lives across the
sea are meeting the tremendous world
challenge Of today"
