We are now embarked on another venture to put the American dream to work in meeting the new demands of a new day. Once again we must start where men would improve their society have always known they must begin - with an educational system restudied, reinforced, and revitalized.

Education is the key to opportunity in our society, and the equality of educational opportunity must be the birthright of every citizen.

It is a truism that education is no longer a luxury. Education in this day and age is a necessity.

We believe, that is, you and I, that education is not an expense. We believe it is an investment.
