Salutatorian Outlines
Challenge Confronting
Secondary Education
BY PATTI (McOANlEL
Salutatorian
Facing challenges is not a new
experience for the secondary
schools of our nation. Free public
education, since it was establish-
ed, has constantly faced a chal-'
lenge, the challenge of re-adjust-
ing itself in such manner as to
turn out a finished product cap-
able of adapting himself to the
day and age in which he lived.
I think we can truly be proud
tonight upon the way in which the
secondary schools of our nation
have constantly adjusted them-
selves so as to be able to meet the
ever-changing conditions of a non-
static world. By means of read-
justing themselves the secondary
schools of our nation have suc-
cessfully trained and guided our
citizenship through the pioneer
days of our society, through the
agricultural age that followed and
finally into the midst of the indus-
trial age in which we now live.
School* iContribution.
In peace and in war, the second-
ary schools of our nation have
made their contribution, not only
to the cause of civilization, but the
perpetuation and promotion of
democracy. Truly it may be said
that the foundation of democracy
is an enlightened and educated
citizenship.
The challenge which confronts
J „ 4 I - 4 n ■ li AIIIAIfAH l£l n
education today, however, is per-
haps greater than any challenge'
which the secondary schools of our,
nation have faced heretofore. The'
war in which our nation is now en-'
gaged is an all-out war, a total
war the ultimate outcome of whichj
rests not alone on the strength of
the armed forces of our nation.'
In this war the enemy attacks us
not merely on land, sea and in the,
air, but also levels his attack at1
our heads and hearts, taking ad-
vantage of every ignorance, of
every prejudice, of every weak
ness. In short, morale on the home.
front l* perhaps a more important
factor li: this war than arr/ prev-
ioii one. On the battlefront for
un enduring morale tl.o :h jil
hold an important sector.
Battlefront Not New.
But this is not a new battle-
front for the secondary schools of
our nation. Since the founding of
democracy and free public educa-
tion in America, the schools have
been the champions of democracy.
In this hour of need, our schools
face the challenge of helping to
create and perpetuating a healthy
morale on the home front. Youth
must be fully informed as to the1
relative merits of the American
way of life as contrasted to tho
way of life established by our to-
talitarian enemies.
School Room A Forum.
The school room faces the chal-
lenge of becoming a pub*!? forum
for the preservation of de mocracy
in this hour of peril. Th; prin-
cipals of our democracy -tnd tho
freedoms perpetuated by that Js-
mocracy speak for themselves,
once a citizenship properly under-
stands them. The hope for vic-
tory in this present conflict rests
in the belief of the democracies
that the morale of a free people
will endure longer than an arti-
ficial morale created by methods
of controlled propaganda or jazz-
ed-up publicity stunts, such as we
find in the dictator countries. It
is the schools of this nation which
put substance into our morale,
and which creates an understand-
ing loyalty of our democracy and
our country.
For the time being the second-
ary schools face the challenge of
giving priority to the strengthen-1
ing of our national morale. Theyj
face the challenge of doing this|
without abandoning their essential
services.
By the emphasises which I have
placed upon the fun'tior. of the
schools in building morale, I do
not mean that this is the only
challenge which the schools face
in this hour of crisis. There are
other challenges which must be
met, although the field of morale
is probably the field in which
secondary education can make its
greatest contribution.
Challenge* Are (Many.
So many are the challenges and
problems confronting our second-
ary schools today that time will
not permit my enumerating and
discussing all of them. Be it said,
however, in conclusion, that our
schools face the challenge of pro-
moting a healthy morale, or re-
doubling their efforts, of main-
taining their ordinary functions,
and assuming additional ones at
one and the same time; of pro-|
moting conservation, of teaching
the fundamentals of loyalty and)
patriotism, of helping to
workers for war industries, of
building physical fitness, and ofj
so training the citizen of tomorrow (
that he will be able to take his,
place and capable of leadership in
the post-war world which will fol-
low tomorrow with its myriad
problems and necessary readjust-
ments. Our schools, however, as
the next speaker will point out,;
are prepared and are preparing,
themselves to meet all of these
problems and challenges. Demo-
cratic education has ever read-
justed itself in such manner as'
to meet the needs of our country.!
