Learning must erect no barriers of class or creed.

I am happy to transmit to you the first report of the National Advisory Council on the Education of Disadvantaged Children.

The school safety patrol program has contributed immeasurably to the safety of our youngsters.

Through the teacher's hands pass all members of every profession.

I venture to think that there is much about the United States that your students find equally interesting.

Too many of our fellow citizens do not get the education or the training that they need to become productive members of our society.

In my Baltimore declaration of April of last year, I said to the people of the world how much we would welcome taking some of the funds that we are now spending in bombs and bullets and putting in efforts to rid that area of disease and disaster and provide education and training.

Low educational attainment is a product, and in turn a producer, of poverty, unemployment, and discrimination.

Education gets more money in this budget than any other items except interest on the public debt, some $12 billion, and the Defense Department, which, as you know, exceeds $50 billion.

Today we can set ambitious goals for the future:--full education for every citizen to the limits of his capacity to absorb it;--good health for every citizen to the limits of our country's capacity to provide it.

To bring every child the care he needs to develop his capacity to the fullest.

For the process of learning is not a carefully defined and isolated segment of a person's life.

Nearly half the preschool children of poverty will get a head start on their future.

I believe, I genuinely and sincerely believe, that every American boy and girl born under this flag has an unqualified right to all the education that he or she can make good use of, and a responsibility to get it.

Science and technology have moved so swiftly that advanced education is no longer a luxury just to be enjoyed by the child of the banker, or by the children of fortunate families.

History may well record that we saved liberty and saved freedom when we undertook a crash program in the field of education.

There is hereby established a 'Federal Interagency Committee on Education' (hereinafter referred to as the 'Committee').

Every boy and girl born in this country under that flag has a right to all the education that he or she can take.
