THE SCHOOLS OF TOMORROW
Let us consider a few of the things we shall doubtless do when we have set
our hearts and hands to this tank.
"We shall refashion the programs of our high schools so that every youth
regardless of place of residence, economic status, sex or race, may secure a
broad and balanced education through the twelfth grade. Such education will be
both liberal and vocational. It will advance each your on the road to a useful
occupation suited to his abilities. It will equip him to assume the full responsi-
bilities of American citizenship. It will foster his healthy of body and mind,
instruct him in the arts of family life, and broaden his recreational interests.
It will promote understanding and appreciation of the best in our cultural heritage
and of the ethical values that should udnergird all life in a democracy."
"We shall extend our systems of free public education upward for at least
two years beyond the conventional high schools. In these schools for older you--
call them junior colleges, institutes of applied ars and science, or what you will--
many of our young people will be able to prepare themselves to enter semiprofessional
and tehcnical occupations while continuing to grow in civic competence and cultural
understanding. These schools will be so located that most young people will live
within commuting distance of one. But they will also be equipped with residence halls
for those who live at greater distances."
"We shall provide opportunities for part-time employment and public funds
for student work programs and scholarshops, so that no youth shall be deprived of
education opportunity because of lack of money to meet personal expenses."
"We shall arrange for many young people to secure supervised experience in
productive work as a regular part of their education programs so that no young
need be handicapped by lack of work experience."
"We shall provide adequate services of guidance in all our secondary schools
and junior colelge in order to eliminate the human waste that is the inevitable
product of mass education."
"We shall do away with tens of thousands of weak and ineffective school
districts by consolidating them into strong units able to supply the best in educa-
tion to the hal of our nation's youth who live in rural communities."
"We shall reconstruct the state school finance systems in many of our states
so that the wealthy of each state may be used equitably to serve all the state's
children and youth. Through our national government we shall spproporaite federal
funds for education in order more nearly to equalize educational opportunites
among the states."
"We shall plan and build new school buildings to house the educational

| Biographical/Historical Note | After December 7, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt created the War Relocation Authority (WRA), which selected ten sites in which to imprison more than 110,000 persons of Japanese ancestry, over half of whom were American citizens. Two of these camps were in the Arkansas Delta, one at Rohwer in Desha County, and the other at Jerome in sections of Chicot and Drew counties. These two camps incarcerated over 16,000 Japanese Americans between October 1942 and November 1945. Hazel Linam Retherford was born on January 27, 1906. During World War II, she was a teacher at both the Jerome and Rohwer Japanese relocation centers in Arkansas, eventually helping to close both centers. She later went to Washington, District of Columbia, to complete War Relocation Authority records on the camps. |
