For once the battle is lost, once our natural splendor is destroyed, it can never be recaptured.

And once man can no longer walk with beauty or wonder at nature his spirit will wither and his sustenance be wasted.

There your children's lives will be shaped. Our society will not be great until every young mind is set free to scan the farthest reaches of thought and imagination.

We are still far from that goal. Today, 8 million adult Americans, more than the entire population of Michigan, have not finished 5 years of school.

Nearly 20 million have not finished 8 years of school. Nearly 54 million -- more than one quarter of all America -- have not even finished high school.
