FOREWORD
The continued existence of our free way of life depends upon this gen-
eration of American youth. A great responsibility therefore rests upon present-
day American education. We must prepare our sons and daughters for the work
which lies ahead; for work it is. We must offer no easy way, no primrose path,
no idle theories. Our eyes must be on the heavens, but our feet must be on the
ground; and our hands and hearts must be consecrated to the task of rebuilding
our civilization.
American education, like all other phases of American life, must devote
itself in the days ahead to practicality, sincerity, honesty, and righteousness.
There is no place today, if indeed ever there was, for namby-pamby education.
Every objective must be motivated from absolute sincerity of purpose. Every
course must be permeated with complete intellectual honesty and respect for
truth. Every skill must be taught so thoroughly and efficiently that the sin
of wastefulness does not exist either during or following the training period.
Righteousness must be so much a part of every thought and every action as to
develop character traits in our lives which are as high and steadfast and eternal
as the stars.
The call of today, both to and from American youth, is to this kind of
education. To this kind of education, Lamar College is sincerely dedicated.
