‘News’ bids readers goodbye
We won’t say goodbye with stars in our eyes, because we don’t believe in that sort of thing.
We will say that, in spite of a lot of things — crowded classrooms, parking troubles, ultra-hot days — the Summer Session and postse.ssion have been valuable and useful additions to the SC calendar.
We’ve enjoyed seeing so many veterans taking advantage of the chance to speed their educations, but the real thrill (in a nice, quiet, academic way, of course) has been the sight of so many of America’s firm foundation of teachers and educators improving their instruction skills during the summer months.
You see. we’re not empiricists nor perfectionists- we don’t think human beings are a cut above the apes, nor do we think that our order ol mammals will suddenly (or even gradually, for that matter) become paragon* ol brotherly behavior and social adjustment We do think, however, tlm . with Lhe light
amount of human energy and good will, applied both scientifically and with humanity, men and their society can become just a little better through the years.
And one of the principal agents in this now almost imperceptible process of betterment is the American schoolteacher—God bless her! With all her occasional faults—we remember the ones who used fear instead of good sense to discipline us, and the ones who, all di^ipline having failed, found escape m refusal to face us on our own terms or life on any kind of terms— with all her often maddening refusal to be part of the mainstream of the American community (and it's not always her own fault), we still think the teacher fills one of the worthiest niches in the world picture, holds one of the highest charges in the bright hope of the world’s future.
Glad to have had you with us—and hope you all find your way toward what it Is you’re searching for.
