In the afternath of ."orId vTar II and the pres ent "cold." war, everyone is viewed with suspicion. One's motives are ques tioned; one's acts are ex amined to see if a hidden or at least an undisclosed Tjurpose can be found. Your friend,and close associate for yoma does not escape. Neighbor is set against neighbor, community against community, vo cation arainst vocation, sect against sect, and so goes the list indefinitely. FOR TEACHERS Under such conditions it is not too strange that teachers have not escaped. The \York and especially the functions of our schools are being ques tioned. Teachers come under the glaring search light ; ViiTio are they? VJhat are their backgrounds? To what organizations do they belong? Vv'hat do they do during non-school time? '.Yhat do they believe? With whom do they associate? Since they are public ser vants and are close to the people,’ it is easy to fiiid things which are viewed with, alarm. , Teachers’ are humdn and, therefore, make mistakes. In the teacher group, as in all other groups, there are some v;}iosc acts and beliefs do not meet the o-eneral standard.

Your parents, I hope, stand first on the list, but some teacher of yours probably stands high on the list also. Each of you very likely can recall some teacher who has played an impor tant role in your life. He or she meant something to you which money could not buy. He or she helped you to see opportunities; help ed you through his faith to believe in yourself; helped you to have courage and faith, FOR THEIR UNSELFISHMESS Teachers for the most part are unselfish. They get pleasure from helping others. Teachers as a ^Toup are noted for sin cerity of purpoije, per se v^^ring effort, and in telligence in precedure, ^Toachers have an unfailing allegiance for our way of life and are trying to help others to understand and to appreciate our free doms and the democratic way, (Sie of the great contri butions of America to the world has been its system of free public education. That contribution has been made possible largely through the earnest, pain staking, unselfish, and loyal vrork of our schools.
