THE 1 ~ -E D I 0 T 'I T I E R A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OFTHEBOARD Every boy and girl should be taught those things that will enable them to think and rea– son so that they may live their lives content with God, their neighbors, and themselves. The great importance of education in the modern world is self evident and the need is greater today than ever before. Education is a means of saving the world from confusion, such as has had no parallel in the history of mankind. To be educated, one should be will– ing to give the best that he has unto others. It means that avenues of service have been multiplied. At the present time, education may appear to be an expensive investment. Thousands of parents no doubt are concerned to know · it they can afford to educate their children. The answer is that they cannot afford not to edu– cate them. Success depends upon preparation. Life, liberty, and happiness- all that the race holds dear - must be preserved through the nation's schools, be the cost what it may. 3
