Crane, presi- oming, declared in a brilliant ) graduates of Natrona County language and mathematics are them selves sufficient to increase the ulti mate earning power of these grad ates. Fathers and mothers, business men, managers of industries and men of the professions all give testimony of the increase of productive power through college education “The crowning glory of American school, the most remarkable to our Europeon critics; the most distinctly American; is the open road, maintain ed at the expense of the public from the kindergarten through university. Wyoming maintains in its local com- munity, the first twelve grades of its public schools. “It provides for the thirteenth fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth grades in its unfversity. The univer- sity is as truly a part of Wyoming's public school system as its primary grades or its rural schools. It has devoted millions to the maintenance of the open road, to provide that al! of its children, who have a capacity and desire may acquire the power, which comes through schooling. Wyoming expects that those who benefit by the training in elementary and secondary schools will continue to accept the benefits which come from advanced education. It is an obligation resting upon each high school graduate, to make all due effort to continue his education, through at least four years of uni. versity work. “The elementary schools give an opportunity to acquire power over the tools of knowledge, the high school continues this and gives glimpses into the higher fields. Not until university is reached does the state attempt to give adequate and dignified specified training for vocations. The foundations have been laid in the elementary and high school, the superstructure must be erected, as far as direct schooling ‘s concerned, in the university. “Wyoming's wealth is often de scribed in terms of her undeveloped natural resources. We think of un- discovered and untapped oll domes. We think of untouched minerals in her mountains. We think of her vast areas of grazing lands of fertile acres waiting the water. These are not the greatest potential resources ‘The greatest of all resources {s found in her people, in their indomitable spirit of conquest, in their trained intelligence, in their honesty and loyalty to American institutions. “It 1s here that Wyoming's true wealth will be found, She expects the graduates of her schools to be the engineers, who will build her railroads, tunnel her mountains, make accessible her mineral wealth, devise new methods of mining and treating the minerals, which will unlock un touched riches, She expects them to be the designers of new irrigation projects. She expects these graduates to develop her agriculture, to dls cover new crops and better methods of production, ‘These young men must solve the economio problems now baffling and oppressing the agri culturalist and rancher, She expects these graduates to become physicians, who will heal the people, reduce pal and suffering, She expects that they will become the ministers who with clear and inspired vision will show the people clearer concepts of God and religion, She looks to these peo- ple to be the teachers for the next generation, afire with enthusiasm for knowledge, keen and faithful lovers of childhood, whose lives shall be a blessing and a benediction, Sho ex- peots these young people to become the home makers, who will establish ‘Iittle bits of heaven’, where boys and girls will grow into happy efficient men and women, centers from which shall radiate good will, clean living and true social service, “America demands from the grad- (Continued on Page Threo.)
