We Can’t Back Into The Future By Elizabeth Ireland, SuperintmJent of Public Instruction, State of Montana OUR NATION no longer is the greatest provincial civilization in the ■world. Our ships sail the seven seas and all the skyways. We have become the greatest traders and travelers on earth. If the United States is to maintain a world-wide influence, prominence, power and respect, the level of general education must be raised. No longer can we back into the future while looking at the past. The future must be faced head-on. In these days, eternal vigilance should be exercised to instill in youth a high regard for democratic institutions and procedures, and the basic principles of the American way of life. The youth of our land should be given abundant opportunity to inform themselves on current social, economic and scientific matters, and I know of no better or more pleasant way of securing such information than through the Reader’s Digest, which contains present-day articles of lasting interest. The Digest IS widely used in the schools of Montana, and it supplies a definite need, for however valuable textbooks may be, they must be supplemented by just such varied and interesting briefs of current affairs and happenings as it offers from month to month. I recommend it highly as a guide to the formation of right ideals in the minds of American youth, and to the evaluation of those principles which are basic in the government of a free people.
