2290 ‘PROCLAMATIONS, 1922. It is gratifying to know that in a time when public burdens have lain very heavy upon the peo(ple there has been everywhere a determined purpose to maintain e ucation unimpaired, m order that the coming eneration may be equipped, regardless of sacrifices m the presentfcior the increasing res onsibilities which 1t must bear. " Without vision the peoplg perish". Without education, there can be little vision. Of education it ma be said that "It is twice blest: it blesseth him' that `ves and that takes".

Our education shouldys implant conceptions of public duty and private obligation broad enough to envisage the problems of a greatly distraught world. More than anythirf else, men and women need the capacity to see with clear eye an to contemplate with open, unprejudiced mind, the issues of these times.
