This, in part, is the price we have paid for the accelerated pace at which we live, The past hundred years have seen 'more technological advances--more progress, if that is the word--and a higher standard of living than the World has ever before known. In many cases, existing laws have been amended, and then amendments tacked on the amendments, until the original concept of the law has all but vanished. In the pace of modern life, there has been little time to go through the records and remove that which is no longer useful, Rather, laws are amended and superseded to fit the conditions of today. Inevitably, this "law by necessity" h.ts had its imperfections. Indlsputably, it has brought about cases of confusion. Our government has recognized this, and each session of the Con gress brings many bills designed to repeal archaic laws which impede, rather than aid the cause of justice. States, too, have recognized that a certain streamlining Is vital in their own statutes, and have set about purging those which are no longer useful, and amending those which still have a place In our society. . Responsibility of judge is even more weighty However, Just as our forefathers had the wisdom to see that any docu ment which they put into action for tiie common good would have im perfections, so do we have to realize that laws of themselves are not iii*r- fcct, that humanity and compassion :""'t accompany our administration of them. It is the duty of the lawyer to do this to the best of his ability for his client. It is the even more weighty responsibility of the judge to inter pret, tc the best of his knowledge, ability a-ai belief, what was Intended in the passage of the law, and to dis pense its provisions with the humil ity horn of knowledge tha; no man is perfect, and that he rriav rule only s God gives him the ability to un derstand his duty. The law is lo me, a vital, moving force in the world today. First as a youth who learned about the law from his father; later as a young^" man m school who was sure, he would follow it as a career. Still later, as a fledgling in law school, "niggling to amass the maze of knowledge that must be the lawyer's k m ti-ad^; and then as a member `d the bar, admitted to practice on heb.iii ,,f my fellow man. >th i ; ^followed t udi-r and i oday, as me p e Superior Coi t'onol low may world peace financial suggestions, a 11 more or Jess calculated to open the valves of the state treasury lor prime support of instructional television from the elementary through university level. rwr SHpEHl ' VW-lt'ktffertfSrt Making the recommenda tions Is Dr. William H.
