How else except through general public education can an entire people become capable of shaping their own future through a representative government? Speaking of my own Statethe newest in the UnionI can personally testify to the role of public education in the development of this midPacific community. Here were brought together peoples of many races and cultures from the Orient and the Occident. Most of the original immigrants came from nonEnglishspeaking backgrounds. Yet. over the years. through the marvelous workings of free public education. new generations of Americanborn youths have come forth. In speech. attitudes. and outlook. they are as modern Americans as youths in any mainland community.
