THE BLUE AND GOLD. '17. 29 Thus it was that in 1787 that group of eminent Americans. who comprised the Second Continental Congress, foreseeing that education must go hand in hand with material progress in national development, provided in the Northwest Ordinance, among other things, that a system of free public education should be introduced into the Northwest Territory. Thus, en account of its vast resources, this great. unsettled domain, between the Great Lakes and the Ohio river, promulgated an act, which although seemingly radical at the time, has since proven itself of inestimable value in the development of the territory. During the interim of almost one hundred and thirty years between the date of the Ordinance and the present time the educational system in the Northwest Territory, as well as in other parts of the United States has been so perfected that all are able to obtain, in our system of free public schools, an academic training which fully prepares for college and university courses. In Michigan. however, the educational system. according to statistics compiled by the Russell Sage Foundation, is above the average in the advantages it offers the boys and girls of the state. One of the sources of these many advantages is the primary school fund, provided for in the early history of the state and since kept intact, a fund of almost $5,000.000.00 which pays yearly seven dollars toward the educational expenses of each child. And in response to these favors of the state, the people have shown such a loyal spirit of appreciation that the late President Angell of the University of Michigan said the-- have a "veritable passion for education." It is this spirit of patriotic response to the attempts of both state and federal governments to advance the people intellectually that has created in Michigan a system of educational institutions of which she is justly proud and which is second to none in quality. We, the class of 1917. have received from the state the advantages of this time perfected system and now we have come to the place where we must rely upon our own efforts for further accomplishments. We are at the foothills climbing, climbing in intellectual development. One may possess a great deal of knowledge and yet not be educated. There must also he the exercise of mental faculties, as thinking is the only way to acquire mental muscle.
