JAMES, WILLIAM I take it that no man is educated who has never dallied with the thought of suicide. The whole drift of my education goes to persuade me that the world of our present consciousness is only one out of many worlds of consciousness that exist. Education is the organization of acquired habits of action such as will fit the individual to his physical and social environment. JAMESON, ANNA The true purpose of education is to cherish and unfold the seed of immortality already sown within us; to develop to their fullest ex- tent, the capacities of every kind with which God who made us has endowed us. JEFFERSON, THOMAS The commonwealth requires the education of her people as the safe- guard of order and liberty. Above all things, I hope the education of the common people will be attended to; convinced that on this good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty. The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance. JOHNSON, LYNDON BAINES The American people, among their notable contribution to the arts and crafts of civilizations have insisted that education not be the prized possession of the few. JOHNSON, OWEN All education does today is develop the memory at the expense of the imagination. JOHNSON, SAMUEL I hate by-roads in education. Education is as well known, and has long been as well known, as ever it can be. Education 39 For since every household is part of a state, and these relationships are part of the household, and the excellence of the part must have regard to that of the whole, it is necessary that the education both of the children and of the women should be carried on with a regard to the form of the constitution, if it makes any difference as regards the goodness of the state for the children and the women to be good. Now each man judges well the things he knows, and of these he is a good judge. And SO the man who has been educated in a subject is a good judge of that subject, and the man who has received an all- round education is a good judge in general. ROGERS, WILL There is nothing so stupid as the educated man, if you get off the subject he was educated in. Nothing will kill the movies except education. ROOSEVELT, THEODORE Education must light the path for social change. The social and economic problems confronting us are growing in complexity. The more complex and difficult these problems become, the more essen- tial it is to provide broad and complete education; that kind of edu- cation that will equip us as a nation to decide these problems for the best interest of all concerned. Our ultimate security, to a large extent, is based upon the individual's character, information, and attitude-and the responsibility rests squarely upon those who direct education in America. The educated scamp is a scamp still and all the more dangerous to the community. ROSENBERG, ALFRED For decades education in Germany has been looked on merely as a means of increasing knowledge. Instead of this, National Socialism has decreed education to be the strengthening of character. ROSENKRANS, KARL The nature of education is determined by the nature of mind that it can develop what is in itself only by its own activity Educa- tion is the influencing of man by man, and it has for its end to lead him to actualize himself through his own efforts Man, therefore, Ref: PN6081 K47 WH QUOTABLE QUOTES ON EDUCATION AUGUST KERBER Wayne State University A Savoyard Book 1968 WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY PRESS DETROIT Education THE JEFFERSONIAN CYCLOPEDIA 274 2388.

Congratulations to all those students who participated in this year's competition and especially to the 1991 USAD National Championship Team. The message that this Decathlon sends to all young Americans is a very important one -- it says that personal dedication, diligent effort, and teamwork lead to success. Indeed, such academic competi- tion has created a new kind of hero among American youth today. It is heartening to see youngsters wearing varsity letters for scholastic achieve- ment, and I am delighted to hear of students gathering to cheer on classmates who are striving to excel in the educational arena. These developments suggest that we have begun to see positive changes in attitudes toward scholastic endeavors at every level. Vital to reaching our National Education Goals is a strong commitment -- by students, parents, teachers, and public officials alike -- to maximizing the potential of every student. You, our State and National champions in the Academic Decathlon, have obviously made such a commitment, and I commend your example. I also thank your parents, your coaches, and the generous sponsors who made this exciting event possible. Mrs. Bush joins me in sending our best wishes for your continued success. God bless you. GEORGE BUSHA 910415 CA. 1 041095 ME002 May 4, 1989 Dear Young Friends: I am pleased to add my congratulations to those of your parents, teachers, classmates, and friends on winning the National Academic Decathlon. You can be proud of your achievement which reflects hard work, respect for learning, and self-discipline. Your school and community share in the joy of your triumph. I'm certain that in the days to come your example will inspire others to follow in your academic footsteps. Mrs. Bush joins me in sending our warmest wishes for every future success.

J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas to the White House Rose Garden. The United States Academic Decathlon, the largest and most prestigious scholastic competition for high school teams in the country, is particularly proud of its non-elitist nature. (Teams are made up of 3 A students, 3 B students, and 3 C or below students.) The President's welcome, therefore, reinforced the underlying message of the Decathlon to all students: that great things can be accomplished by commitment, perseverance, and teamwork. In April of 1992, the National Finals of the United States Academic Decathlon will be held in Boise, Idaho, where we will be celebrating our eleventh successful year. We are very hopeful that our national championship team may once again visit the White House to meet the President. The announcement of the championship team will be made at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday April 12, 1992. We would be able to have the students in Washington at anytime on or after April 15th. We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this request. Very truly yours, Ann Joynt Executive Director Amrilis & >AnA a APA (Fran SAOS 1moth) ANN JOYNT Executive Director 11145 183rd STREET P.O.

We should mention that America was launched a year ago this month -- April 18, 1991. Mention the goals. Mention the failing education system that needs our help. Mention Teacher of the Year as an example of the power of education. Mention number of states adopting America 2000. Perhaps a reference to the futures of these kids (i.e., Think about the futures that you want for yourselves. Think where will you be in the year 2020? Will you be driving in a solar-powered car that doesn't rob the ozone? Will our nations schools be good enough when you enroll your 10- year old for her first day of fourth grade? etc.) We need to think of jokes early. Maybe a final line for the Pres can be: "Remember, study hard and one day you'll grow up to be President." (Or some twist on that.)

Suddenly, a man pulled out his gun and shot her in the head. Jeanie's killer carried her out of the bathroom to the hall of her apartment. Her children were asleep at the time and her mother was watching TV, so no one heard the shot. A neighbor saw Jeanie's killer placing her body in the hallway. She was rushed to the hospital. Jeanie lived only for another week.- Philadelphia, 1983. Jeanie, whom I barely knew, was my aunt who had just died and left four beautiful children behind. I was eight years old at the time and one hundred miles away, oblivious to the pain my cousins were bearing and the drastic changes that would come into my life. It was decided that the four children would live with by grandmother. However, several months later she died. The doctors said she had been extremely depressed and had given up on life. No one in my family wanted the additional responsibility of four children and rather than leave them to the foster care system, my mother opened up our home to them. I now accepted the fact that we had nine permanent children in our household. In a characteristic child-like way, I began to feel selfish. I couldn't have as much of my mother's attention and I didn't want to accept added responsibility. Somehow, I sensed my mother's worry that maybe there wouldn't be enough to support all of us. I even told my cousins that I wished they would go back home. Angry and self-centered as only a child could be, I can't begin to imagine how much I had hurt my cousins after all they had been through. Then came Extended Page 2.1 APR-20-92 MON 18:22 COLLEGEOFARTS&SCIENOES FAX NO. 2028064562 P.04 the crushing blow, which seemed to have ended my once happy life. My father left home. I blamed my cousins for this because I knew he had discouraged my mother from inviting them to live with us. I became increasingly angry at my mother and threatened to run away. This is the rippling effect of drugs and violence in our community. It goes beyond what the public sees on the evening news. Violence does not end with death. A family's life is touched in every way. Every time there is a. violent death, society pays for it either through the foster care system or through education. Taxpayers must pay for jails and for more policemen to patrol the streets. My aunt's killer without ever meeting me has affected every aspect of my life. The addition of four children has caused significant financial strain, not to mention the emotional drain on my mother. However, the verdict isn't in yet. What will we learn from this cruel twist of fate? Will we children all be marked for life because we feel cheated? Or will we someday be able to look at my mother's totally selfless response and know that we have truly witnessed love in its finest sense. However, I will always be curious about the personal and long- lasting effects that will grow out of one person's willful and mindless act. WAKE UP AMERICA!! Realize that drugs and violence affect everyone in our community. We cannot continue to ignore the problem. We cannot continue to support cosmetic solutions. We must all join forces quickly to resolve this dilemma for who knows, directly or indirectly, the next tragedy could strike Extended Page 2.2 APR-20-92 MON 16:23 COLLEGEOFARTS&SOIENCES FAX NO. 2028084562 P.05 you, or you, or you! 04/20/92 13:44 P01 UNITED US AD DECATHING STATES ACADEMIC *** R UNITED STATES ACADEMIC DECATHLON FAX COVER SHEET FAX: (310)809-4111 DATE: 4/20/92 TO: THE WHITE HOUSE ATTN: BETH HINCHCLIFFE FROM: FRANN SHERMET WE ARE TRANSMITTING 3 PAGE(S) TO YOU INCLUDING THIS PAGE.

Each student wore a button with the message, "ROSE GARDEN OR BUST,' in Dobie's orange and white colors with a longhorn, the school mascot. We gave these pins to family and friends for addi- tional support. While driving to the regional competition, team members were shocked to see a dead COW in a field along the road, an un- usual sight for suburban Pasadena, Texas. Another dead COW was spotted on the drive to the state competition at A & M, and the students called it a lucky charm. Imagine the team's shock to see a dead COW on the city streets of Boise on the day of the awards banquet! They decided it must be a lucky sign, for sure! Whether potatoes, pins, cows, or simply lots of dedicated study time, the Dobie team is proud is proud to be tops in the nation in 1992!

APR-21-1992 12:29 FROM J.FRANK DOBIE HIGH SCHOOL TO 12024562461 P.03 J. FRANK DOBIE HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC DECATHLON TEAM - 1992 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!! The first place national winner of the Academic Decathlon competition for 1992 is a team from J. Frank Dobie High School in Houston, Texas. The school, while located in Houston city limits, is a part of the Pasadena Independent School District. Theeschool was named for folk writer and Texas historian J. Frank Dobie, also an English pro- fessor at the University of Texas at Austin. Since win- ning the national competition, the school has received a letter from Dudley R. Dobie, Jr., representing the Dobie family. He wrote that the inscription on J. Frank Dobie's tombstone in the state Cemetery in Austin states, "I have come to believe that a liberated mind is the supreme good of life on Earth," and called the Dobie students' academic honors a tribute to this concept. Dobie High School, home to 2100 students in a middle class area of southeast Houston, has a diverse population. The 1992 Academic Decathlon Team is quite international in spirit, with 2 Chinese members, one Hispanic, one Iranian, and one son of a French immigrant. Coach Richard Golenko, Latin teacher, gave each team member a large Idaho potato as "inspiration" after the big win at the regional competition in Port Arthur, Texas in January. Each team member was to carry the potato at all times as a reminder that we wanted to reach the national level of com petition in Boise, Idaho. It must have worked, because the team defeated last year's national championship team at the state competition at Bryan and Texas A. & M University in February. TOTAL P.03 THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release April 23, 1992 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT TO ACADEMIC DECATHLON CHAMPIONS The Rose Garden 11:18 A.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Welcome all. And first, may I greet our distinguished number two over at the Energy Department, David Kearns, coming down here from a fantastic leadership role in American business to help us in this important America 2000 education program. So I'm delighted he's with us here today. I want to salute the President and the Board of Directors of the U.S. Academic Decathlon -- all of them -- thank particularly all of the corporate sponsors who make so much of this possible. And also single out Danny Ramirez, Chris Roorda, and Greg Rudnick, standing up here with me today; salute the coaches and the friends. And most of all, a warm Rose Garden welcome to our newest American champs, newest American heroes, if you will -- the 1992 Academic Decathlon Champs, the team from J. Frank Dobie High in, yes, you guessed it, Houston, Texas. Now, where are they? Stand up. (Applause.) And they've got a good front-row seat, too. Thank you, guys, and welcome. It's a great feat for my hometown -- the highest score, I'm told, in the history of the competition. And I'm very proud to welcome you all here. I hear that you wore "Rose Garden or Bust" pins. They work. And I'm wondering if you have an extra one for the fall. (Laughter.) Congratulations also to our Silver and Bronze medalists from Mountain View High in Mesa, Arizona; Whitney Young Magnet High in Chicago; our regional winners from New Jersey, Alabama, Ohio, Nebraska and California; our small school winner from Wisconsin; and our 10 individual student scholarship winners -- nine from our top three winning schools, and then Mit Robertson here from Tupelo, Mississippi. Welcome all. I want to send special good-luck wishes to those who will represent us at the International Decathlon in a couple of weeks -- the Academic Decathlon, that is. And since you're the star decathletes, tell me who is going to win at Barcelona -- Dan or Dave? (Laughter.) You've all done something remarkable. And this year's contest began with 30,000 -- more than 30,000 students at 3,500 schools coast to coast. And now it's just you. And not only did you work all year to conquer environmental science in a range of 10 categories, you also survived the blizzard of 25,000 pieces of test paper out in Boise. And I was impressed by your Habitat Earth Super Quiz questions like this one: "In a molecule of methane, the carbon atom is at the center of what?" For you out there in the press -- (laughter) -- the answer is "a tetrahedron with four s-p-three bonds." Did you get that one down? I'll be glad to repeat the question -- never mind. (Laughter.) That was easy. Not! Actually, pretty tough. But I know a category I could enter: computers. I was just in there with Secretary Kearns talking about it. I've been learning how to work MORE - 2 - one because one of our education goals is that nobody is too old to learn. I wrote my first program a while ago. I'm not sure what happened to it. It was called "Michelangelo." (Laughter.) Now, you kids here today represent every team member from across the country. And I want to tell you and them what all of you have done for America. You've shown that great things can be achieved by commitment, perseverance, hard work and, yes, teamwork. And I salute you, and I envy you. And you've found the sheer joy of learning, beginning to understand the world. One day a scientist will discover the cure for cancer, the cure for AIDS. Other people will find new ways to feed the hungry. And there will be writers whose wisdom will touch lives. And right now, those men and women are kids in our classrooms or maybe even sitting right here in the Rose Garden. Remember, study hard and one day one of you might grow up to be president. But let's face it, even then you'll never make as much money as your dog. (Laughter.) Millie, who normally comes to events like this, but she used to just roll over on the grass, and now all she rolls over is her money market account with -- in the street. But, look, you've shown your peers that it is as exciting to root for an academic team as an athletic one. And that's a point I wanted to make for our entire country. You've shown that it takes skill, stamina and intensity to achieve in the classroom as well as in the stadium. And you've given them a priceless gift, your peers: the belief in their ability to reach out and shape their own lives. There is a new century coming, one with absolutely unlimited horizons. And we must make sure all our children enter this new world equipped with the skills that will let them dream dreams and know they can make them come true. One of the things that impresses me most about this Decathlon is that each team is made up of A, B and c students. And there's a great lesson there. What matters is simply that each kid be the best that he or she can be. As George Patton said, "If a man has done his best, what else is there?" We don't want the moon for our kids. We want something more important: a future. And so one year ago, I unveiled America 2000, our long- range strategy to achieve our six national education goals. And it's a challenge posed to each of us in communities throughout America to literally reinvent American education. It urges us to reach deep within ourselves to find answers so that our kids can reach for the stars. Changing our attitudes about education is too important to wait or waste a generation. To be competitive in this changing world, we must realize that we succeed economically at home; if we're to do that, we must lead economically abroad. Open markets, free trade, they mean jobs for American workers and economic growth for American companies. But we must be prepared to compete, ready to take advantage of these high-tech opportunities in the global marketplace. We know our economic health, our economic survival, depend on how we educate ourselves to face the challenges of a new century. So we've set these six education goals to reach by the year 2000 -- when today's third and fourth graders will be taking part in this event, this Academic Decathlon by then and you all know these goals. One of them, the first one: Our kids will start school ready to learn. That's more than Head Start. Head Start's a part of that. Our high school graduation rate must be 90 percent. The third - 3 - one: Our students will be achieving world-class standards. And then fourth: We'll be first in the world in science and math, a particularly important one. And then the fifth one: Every adult will be literate. No one is too old to learn. And sixth: Every American school must be safe, must be disciplined, must be drug- free. In other words, an environment where people can learn. You will help us meet those challenges. Real excellence demands commitment from everyone as we create a new generation of American schools that demands more of the same choices of schools -- public, private or religious -- for middle class and poor Americans that wealthier families already have. Give them a chance to choose. It demands new creative partnership among parents, teachers, businesses and kids like the community involvement that encourages this Decathlon and the local and national corporate partnerships that fund it. And by the way, I want to give a special note to the corporate sponsors with us today, whose leadership and vision make this Decathlon possible. This bond, really I referred to it earlier -- but this bond between industry and the individual is the keystone of the American spirit. The country needs to follow this decathlon's example in all these areas because for our future every citizen must now help every community develop a plan of action. All ready 43 states and over 1,000 communities across this country have answered the call and have joined America 2000. This isn't Democrat or Republican or Liberal or Conservative. It is literally a move to revolutionize education. And together we are reinventing American education, neighborhood by neighborhood, community by community all across this country. And at the heart of it are you students, you kids, a new kind of campus hero. With the good values you learn from discipline determination. From a sharp mind that is not wasted on drugs and from the confidence and pride that comes from proving yourselves. And you will help this America 2000 dream come true. For a great example of this we don't have to look further than a woman who is not with us today, D.C.'s Rhondee Johnson, a junior at Benjamin Banneker High who just won the National Academic Decathlon's Kristen Caperton Award for Inspiration and Courage. She takes her school responsibilities so seriously that she's helping her team at a track meet right now instead of joining us. And we all hope she wins the blue ribbon, but she's certainly winning it in life with her example. Rhondee's lived with the tragedy of violence. When her aunt was killed, her four children came to live with Rhondee's family, making eight year-old Rhondee the oldest of nine kids in a single-parent household. She takes on a parent's duties and she still manages a 4.0 average. She is an inspiration, accepting responsibilities and challenges and still striving to excel. She and all of you give a 1990's example of how Abraham Lincoln defined his own life when he said, "I do the very best I know how, the very best I can. And I mean to keep on doing SO until the end." I am proud of the message all of you winning decathletes send, that personal dedication, effort and teamwork lead to success. And when one of you bright young people solve the problem of who created "Michelangelo," just remember --, my name is Dana Carvey. Thank you all very much for coming. Congratulations, and may God bless you all. (Applause.) END 11:31 A.M.

These\ndevelopments suggest that we have begun to see\npositive changes in attitudes toward scholastic\nendeavors at every level.\nVital to reaching our National Education Goals\nis a strong commitment -- by students, parents,\nteachers, and public officials alike -- to\nmaximizing the potential of every student. You,\nour State and National champions in the Academic\nDecathlon, have obviously made such a commitment,\nand I commend your example. I also thank your\nparents, your coaches, and the generous sponsors\nwho made this exciting event possible.\nMrs. Bush joins me in sending our best wishes for\nyour continued success.

J. Pearce High School in Richardson, Texas to\nthe White House Rose Garden. The United States Academic Decathlon, the largest and most\nprestigious scholastic competition for high school teams in the country, is particularly proud of\nits non-elitist nature. (Teams are made up of 3 A students, 3 B students, and 3 C or below\nstudents.) The President's welcome, therefore, reinforced the underlying message of the\nDecathlon to all students: that great things can be accomplished by commitment, perseverance,\nand teamwork.\nIn April of 1992, the National Finals of the United States Academic Decathlon will be held in\nBoise, Idaho, where we will be celebrating our eleventh successful year. We are very hopeful\nthat our national championship team may once again visit the White House to meet the President.\nThe announcement of the championship team will be made at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday April 12,\n1992. We would be able to have the students in Washington at anytime on or after April 15th.\nWe sincerely appreciate your consideration of this request.\nVery truly yours,\nAnn Joynt\nExecutive Director\nAmrilis\n&\n>AnA a APA (Fran SAOS 1moth)\nANN JOYNT\nExecutive Director\n11145 183rd STREET\nP.O.

Mention the goals. Mention the failing\neducation system that needs our help. Mention Teacher of the\nYear as an example of the power of education. Mention number of\nstates adopting America 2000.

Will you\nbe driving in a solar-powered car that doesn't rob the ozone?\nWill our nations schools be good enough when you enroll your 10-\nyear old for her first day of fourth grade? etc.)\nWe need to think of jokes early.

BUT\nWILL BE UNABLE TO ATTEND ON THURSDAY\n04/20/92 15:12\nP02\nJeanie sat on the edge of the tub washing out some clothes.\nSuddenly, a man pulled out his gun and shot her in the head.\nJeanie's killer carried her out of the bathroom to the hall\nof her apartment. Her children were asleep at the time and\nher mother was watching TV, so no one heard the shot. A neighbor\nsaw Jeanie's killer placing her body in the hallway. She was\nrushed to the hospital. Jeanie lived only for another week.-\nPhiladelphia, 1983.\nJeanie, whom I barely knew, was my aunt who had just died\nand left four beautiful children behind. I was eight years\nold at the time and one hundred miles away, oblivious to the\npain my cousins were bearing and the drastic changes that would\ncome into my life. It was decided that the four children would\nlive with by grandmother. However, several months later she\ndied. The doctors said she had been extremely depressed and\nhad given up on life. No one in my family wanted the additional\nresponsibility of four children and rather than leave them to\nthe foster care system, my mother opened up our home to them.\nI now accepted the fact that we had nine permanent children\nin our household. In a characteristic child-like way, I began\nto feel selfish. I couldn't have as much of my mother's\nattention and I didn't want to accept added responsibility.\nSomehow, I sensed my mother's worry that maybe there wouldn't\nbe enough to support all of us. I even told my cousins that\nI wished they would go back home. Angry and self-centered as\nonly a child could be, I can't begin to imagine how much I had\nhurt my cousins after all they had been through. Then came\nExtended Page\n2.1\nAPR-20-92 MON 18:22\nCOLLEGEOFARTS&SCIENOES\nFAX NO. 2028064562\nP.04\nthe crushing blow, which seemed to have ended my once happy\nlife. My father left home. I blamed my cousins for this because\nI knew he had discouraged my mother from inviting them to live\nwith us. I became increasingly angry at my mother and threatened\nto run away.\nThis is the rippling effect of drugs and violence in our\ncommunity. It goes beyond what the public sees on the evening\nnews. Violence does not end with death. A family's life is\ntouched in every way. Every time there is a. violent death,\nsociety pays for it either through the foster care system or\nthrough education. Taxpayers must pay for jails and for more\npolicemen to patrol the streets.\nMy aunt's killer without ever meeting me has affected every\naspect of my life. The addition of four children has caused\nsignificant financial strain, not to mention the emotional drain\non my mother. However, the verdict isn't in yet. What will\nwe learn from this cruel twist of fate? Will we children all\nbe marked for life because we feel cheated? Or will we someday\nbe able to look at my mother's totally selfless response and\nknow that we have truly witnessed love in its finest sense.\nHowever, I will always be curious about the personal and long-\nlasting effects that will grow out of one person's willful and\nmindless act. WAKE UP AMERICA!! Realize that drugs and violence\naffect everyone in our community. We cannot continue to ignore\nthe problem. We cannot continue to support cosmetic solutions.\nWe must all join forces quickly to resolve this dilemma for\nwho knows, directly or indirectly, the next tragedy could strike\nExtended Page\n2.2\nAPR-20-92 MON 16:23\nCOLLEGEOFARTS&SOIENCES\nFAX NO. 2028084562\nP.05\nyou, or you, or you!\n04/20/92 13:44\nP01\nUNITED US AD DECATHING STATES ACADEMIC\n***\nR\nUNITED STATES ACADEMIC DECATHLON\nFAX COVER SHEET\nFAX: (310)809-4111\nDATE:\n4/20/92\nTO:\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nATTN:\nBETH HINCHCLIFFE\nFROM:\nFRANN SHERMET\nWE ARE TRANSMITTING 3 PAGE(S) TO YOU INCLUDING THIS\nPAGE.

FRANK DOBIE HIGH SCHOOL ACADEMIC DECATHLON\nTEAM - 1992 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!!!!\nThe first place national winner of the Academic Decathlon\ncompetition for 1992 is a team from J. Frank Dobie High\nSchool in Houston, Texas. The school, while located in\nHouston city limits, is a part of the Pasadena Independent\nSchool District. Theeschool was named for folk writer\nand Texas historian J. Frank Dobie, also an English pro-\nfessor at the University of Texas at Austin. Since win-\nning the national competition, the school has received a\nletter from Dudley R. Dobie, Jr., representing the Dobie\nfamily. He wrote that the inscription on J. Frank Dobie's\ntombstone in the state Cemetery in Austin states, \"I\nhave come to believe that a liberated mind is the supreme\ngood of life on Earth,\" and called the Dobie students'\nacademic honors a tribute to this concept.\nDobie High School, home to 2100 students in a middle class\narea of southeast Houston, has a diverse population. The\n1992 Academic Decathlon Team is quite international in\nspirit, with 2 Chinese members, one Hispanic, one Iranian,\nand one son of a French immigrant.\nCoach Richard Golenko, Latin teacher, gave each team member\na large Idaho potato as \"inspiration\" after the big win at\nthe regional competition in Port Arthur, Texas in January.\nEach team member was to carry the potato at all times as a\nreminder that we wanted to reach the national level of com\npetition in Boise, Idaho. It must have worked, because the\nteam defeated last year's national championship team at the\nstate competition at Bryan and Texas A. & M University in\nFebruary.\nTOTAL P.03\nTHE WHITE HOUSE\nOffice of the Press Secretary\nFor Immediate Release\nApril 23, 1992\nREMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT\nTO ACADEMIC DECATHLON CHAMPIONS\nThe Rose Garden\n11:18 A.M. EDT\nTHE PRESIDENT: Welcome all. And first, may I greet our\ndistinguished number two over at the Energy Department, David Kearns,\ncoming down here from a fantastic leadership role in American\nbusiness to help us in this important America 2000 education program.\nSo I'm delighted he's with us here today.\nI want to salute the President and the Board of\nDirectors of the U.S. Academic Decathlon -- all of them -- thank\nparticularly all of the corporate sponsors who make so much of this\npossible. And also single out Danny Ramirez, Chris Roorda, and Greg\nRudnick, standing up here with me today; salute the coaches and the\nfriends. And most of all, a warm Rose Garden welcome to our newest\nAmerican champs, newest American heroes, if you will -- the 1992\nAcademic Decathlon Champs, the team from J. Frank Dobie High in, yes,\nyou guessed it, Houston, Texas. Now, where are they? Stand up.\n(Applause.) And they've got a good front-row seat, too. Thank you,\nguys, and welcome.\nIt's a great feat for my hometown -- the highest score,\nI'm told, in the history of the competition. And I'm very proud to\nwelcome you all here. I hear that you wore \"Rose Garden or Bust\"\npins. They work. And I'm wondering if you have an extra one for the\nfall. (Laughter.)\nCongratulations also to our Silver and Bronze medalists\nfrom Mountain View High in Mesa, Arizona; Whitney Young Magnet High\nin Chicago; our regional winners from New Jersey, Alabama, Ohio,\nNebraska and California; our small school winner from Wisconsin; and\nour 10 individual student scholarship winners -- nine from our top\nthree winning schools, and then Mit Robertson here from Tupelo,\nMississippi. Welcome all.\nI want to send special good-luck wishes to those who\nwill represent us at the International Decathlon in a couple of weeks\n-- the Academic Decathlon, that is. And since you're the star\ndecathletes, tell me who is going to win at Barcelona -- Dan or Dave?\n(Laughter.)\nYou've all done something remarkable. And this year's\ncontest began with 30,000 -- more than 30,000 students at 3,500\nschools coast to coast. And now it's just you. And not only did you\nwork all year to conquer environmental science in a range of 10\ncategories, you also survived the blizzard of 25,000 pieces of test\npaper out in Boise. And I was impressed by your Habitat Earth Super\nQuiz questions like this one: \"In a molecule of methane, the carbon\natom is at the center of what?\" For you out there in the press --\n(laughter) -- the answer is \"a tetrahedron with four s-p-three\nbonds.\" Did you get that one down? I'll be glad to repeat the\nquestion -- never mind. (Laughter.)\nThat was easy. Not! Actually, pretty tough. But I\nknow a category I could enter: computers. I was just in there with\nSecretary Kearns talking about it. I've been learning how to work\nMORE\n- 2 -\none because one of our education goals is that nobody is too old to\nlearn. I wrote my first program a while ago. I'm not sure what\nhappened to it. It was called \"Michelangelo.\" (Laughter.)\nNow, you kids here today represent every team member\nfrom across the country. And I want to tell you and them what all of\nyou have done for America. You've shown that great things can be\nachieved by commitment, perseverance, hard work and, yes, teamwork.\nAnd I salute you, and I envy you. And you've found the sheer joy of\nlearning, beginning to understand the world.\nOne day a scientist will discover the cure for cancer,\nthe cure for AIDS. Other people will find new ways to feed the\nhungry. And there will be writers whose wisdom will touch lives.\nAnd right now, those men and women are kids in our classrooms or\nmaybe even sitting right here in the Rose Garden.\nRemember, study hard and one day one of you might grow\nup to be president. But let's face it, even then you'll never make\nas much money as your dog. (Laughter.) Millie, who normally comes\nto events like this, but she used to just roll over on the grass, and\nnow all she rolls over is her money market account with -- in the\nstreet.\nBut, look, you've shown your peers that it is as\nexciting to root for an academic team as an athletic one. And that's\na point I wanted to make for our entire country. You've shown that\nit takes skill, stamina and intensity to achieve in the classroom as\nwell as in the stadium. And you've given them a priceless gift, your\npeers: the belief in their ability to reach out and shape their own\nlives.\nThere is a new century coming, one with absolutely\nunlimited horizons. And we must make sure all our children enter\nthis new world equipped with the skills that will let them dream\ndreams and know they can make them come true.\nOne of the things that impresses me most about this\nDecathlon is that each team is made up of A, B and c students. And\nthere's a great lesson there. What matters is simply that each kid\nbe the best that he or she can be. As George Patton said, \"If a man\nhas done his best, what else is there?\" We don't want the moon for\nour kids. We want something more important: a future.\nAnd so one year ago, I unveiled America 2000, our long-\nrange strategy to achieve our six national education goals. And it's\na challenge posed to each of us in communities throughout America to\nliterally reinvent American education. It urges us to reach deep\nwithin ourselves to find answers so that our kids can reach for the\nstars.\nChanging our attitudes about education is too important\nto wait or waste a generation. To be competitive in this changing\nworld, we must realize that we succeed economically at home; if we're\nto do that, we must lead economically abroad. Open markets, free\ntrade, they mean jobs for American workers and economic growth for\nAmerican companies. But we must be prepared to compete, ready to\ntake advantage of these high-tech opportunities in the global\nmarketplace.\nWe know our economic health, our economic survival,\ndepend on how we educate ourselves to face the challenges of a new\ncentury. So we've set these six education goals to reach by the year\n2000 -- when today's third and fourth graders will be taking part in\nthis event, this Academic Decathlon by then and you all know these\ngoals.\nOne of them, the first one: Our kids will start school\nready to learn. That's more than Head Start. Head Start's a part of\nthat. Our high school graduation rate must be 90 percent. The third\n- 3 -\none: Our students will be achieving world-class standards. And then\nfourth: We'll be first in the world in science and math, a\nparticularly important one. And then the fifth one: Every adult\nwill be literate. No one is too old to learn. And sixth: Every\nAmerican school must be safe, must be disciplined, must be drug-\nfree. In other words, an environment where people can learn.\nYou will help us meet those challenges. Real excellence\ndemands commitment from everyone as we create a new generation of\nAmerican schools that demands more of the same choices of schools --\npublic, private or religious -- for middle class and poor Americans\nthat wealthier families already have. Give them a chance to choose.\nIt demands new creative partnership among parents, teachers,\nbusinesses and kids like the community involvement that encourages\nthis Decathlon and the local and national corporate partnerships that\nfund it.\nAnd by the way, I want to give a special note to the\ncorporate sponsors with us today, whose leadership and vision make\nthis Decathlon possible. This bond, really I referred to it\nearlier -- but this bond between industry and the individual is the\nkeystone of the American spirit. The country needs to follow this\ndecathlon's example in all these areas because for our future every\ncitizen must now help every community develop a plan of action.\nAll ready 43 states and over 1,000 communities across\nthis country have answered the call and have joined America 2000.\nThis isn't Democrat or Republican or Liberal or Conservative. It is\nliterally a move to revolutionize education. And together we are\nreinventing American education, neighborhood by neighborhood,\ncommunity by community all across this country. And at the heart of\nit are you students, you kids, a new kind of campus hero. With the\ngood values you learn from discipline determination. From a sharp\nmind that is not wasted on drugs and from the confidence and pride\nthat comes from proving yourselves. And you will help this America\n2000 dream come true.\nFor a great example of this we don't have to look\nfurther than a woman who is not with us today, D.C.'s Rhondee\nJohnson, a junior at Benjamin Banneker High who just won the National\nAcademic Decathlon's Kristen Caperton Award for Inspiration and\nCourage. She takes her school responsibilities so seriously that\nshe's helping her team at a track meet right now instead of joining\nus. And we all hope she wins the blue ribbon, but she's certainly\nwinning it in life with her example.\nRhondee's lived with the tragedy of violence. When her\naunt was killed, her four children came to live with Rhondee's\nfamily, making eight year-old Rhondee the oldest of nine kids in a\nsingle-parent household. She takes on a parent's duties and she\nstill manages a 4.0 average. She is an inspiration, accepting\nresponsibilities and challenges and still striving to excel.\nShe and all of you give a 1990's example of how Abraham\nLincoln defined his own life when he said, \"I do the very best I know\nhow, the very best I can. And I mean to keep on doing SO until the\nend.\"\nI am proud of the message all of you winning decathletes\nsend, that personal dedication, effort and teamwork lead to success.\nAnd when one of you bright young people solve the problem of who\ncreated \"Michelangelo,\" just remember --, my name is Dana Carvey.\nThank you all very much for coming. Congratulations,\nand may God bless you all. (Applause.)\nEND\n11:31 A.M.
