In brief, while not training for war, but rather for peace, the American school gives the American boy those mental, moral, and physical attributes which make him the best soldier in the world. He is a thinking machine- not a mere automaton. He is a tough fighter, but no beast or savage. Sorry to have to do such a job, he does it, nevertheless, in a thorough, efficient manner, and, when finished, he goes back to peaceful pursuits. He is the "wonder" of the world! He is no accident, but the prod- uct of the American school.


CONCLUSION


This report is brief-purposely so. It contains much praise of the American type of education-rightly so. These statements are not merely braggadocio-they are facts. The American school deserves every word uttered -- and many more.


Locally, an honest attempt is made to keep pace with the American school's success. We do not always succeed; but our failures are due to "weakness of the flesh, and not the spirit."

Appreciation is hereby expressed to all those com- ponent parts of a successful school system-pupils, teachers, parents, citizens, and school committee. Each plays an indispensable part. Unless all function-each in its individual way and all together-success cannot be attained.


Respectfully submitted,


CLIFTON H. HOBSON,


Superintendent of Schools.
