DR.. Turner Gives
Address at
Lincoln

Possibility that out OF this war
will come realization OF the educa-
tional dream Of the founders of
the nation was pointed out Thurs
day evening by DR.. Harvey L..
Turner. president OF Hillsdsle Col
lege when he addressed seniors OF
Lincoln Consolidated School at
their commencement exercises.
He traced the American educa-
tional system to George Washing
ton who. while encamped with his
ragged soldiers on what is now the
campus OF Harvard University, en-
yisioned a system OF education &C
cessible TO rich aud poor alike.
In more definite form be point
ed out similar dream in the as
pirations of Thomas Jefferson who
went so far as to define the ideal
system OF education under which
Democracy was bound TO flourish.
1t was the Judgment of this great
leader that there should be an ele-
mentary school within three miles
Of every household in the United
States. That there should be a high
school or college within an hours
ride OF every home and that there
should be a place Of advanced learn
ing within a days journey of every
residence.
DIR. Turner pointed out how close
ly the United States has attained
this dream. With a high school
education available 10 virtually ey-
cry student there remains only to
reach the goal OF university edu-
cation at public expense for every
student deemed worthy OF the ex.
penditure, he pointed out
Citing the fact that there has
never been a war so technical and
never one in which the so-called
cannon fodder has had TO be
trained to such high degree. the
speaker expressed the hope that
this very need Of training will be
recognized and provided in the post
war era.
