In answer to this question, the
state of Arizona in common with
more than thirty other states, has
passed law requiring the teach
ing of the constitution and Ameri-
can ideals in the public schools.
So then, this is a responsibility
that we as teachers must face.
With the responsibility comes a
great opportunity We have the
chance to bring boys and girls to
proper appreciation and under
standing of what William B. Glad
stone said was the greatest docu-
ment ever struck off by the brain
and purpose of man at a given
time. Let us cause them to par
take of the spirit of the constitu-
ton rather than attempt an under
standing of it's technical details.
Let us bring about an appreciation
of the fact that it is a living,
breathing, growing document and
not a dead and lifeless thing of
the past. 1t is the guardian angel
of our rights and liberties as in
dividuals every hour that We live.
It's the summum bonum of our ma
tional existence-the alpha and
omega of our freedom. There is
nothing in all history or literature
it seems to me more stirring, dra-
matte and appealing than the
events leading up to and cluster
ing around the constitution If we
trace the development of cOnstitu
tional government from the time
King John signed the Magma Carta
on Runnymede up to the adoption
of the constitution we find one NOV
