Getting more than 32 million children and young people launched
on another year of education is a great undertaking in our country.
one which touches the lives of young and old in gury community and in
every State.
That we as citizens of a democratic nation have faith in
American education as the keystone of our freedom-an education
built upon the freedom to -learn and the freedom to teach--is evidenced
by the number who seek it.
This year our Nation's elementary schools will enroll 23.425.000
boys and girls. High schools will teach 6,296,000 young people.
Colleges across the United States will register 2.400.000 additional.
Let us not forget that our schools belong to the people and
that they are what we as citizens make them. Your investment as
a
citizen in efforts to improve the schools ánd their educational
programs will pay high dividends to you and your fellow Americans.
