•‘THE HOUSE OF THE PEOPLE
The American common school is
the expression of a mighty faith
It has grown up out of need and as
piration. It is the bulwark of those
democratic ideals and rights for
which mankind has sacrificed and
suffered throughout the ages. It
is the home of light and of reason.
It is the hope of a better tomorrow.
The common school is the house o-
rhe people.
Let all the people gather as of old
in the neighborhood school. Let
them renew their faith in themselves
and their children. Let them dis
cuss their problems and determine
how their schools may be made bet
ter. Let them return to the house
of the people and know that through
this, their own house, they may
again bring order aed promise and
r.ope to the Republic.
