education hc problem of education is not to teach men how to reach the stars, but to create men of strength and self control, who, w hen they have reached a goal, can act intelligently. The problem is not so much to teach men how to get rich, although that may be important, as how to use riches after they have been gained. The problem is not how to get great honour, place, or eminence, but to bear the responsibilities which such honour always carries along with it. Edu- cation seeks to develop resources and initiative in the individual — honesty, honour, and a vision of truth. It seeks to train leaders; it seeks also to lift the whole level of the human race to broader and clearer vision, to finer thinking and nobler appreciation. Man is the only creature of our earth, to whom the knowledge of good and evil, and the power to choose between them, has been granted. Only when this power is cultivated to the place where it controls thinking and behaviour, is man really educated. Only when the mind has been trained to seek truth and goodness, and apply them to daily life, is he the educated person he ought to be. Without conscience, intellect threatens all that men hold dear of freedom, peace, and brotherhood. In our schools today, from kindergarten to college, the future of our nation is being laid down. On these children in our schools, the fate of our peoples, for good or evil, must lie, and it is important that we consider gravely, what we are doing to guide this potentially powerful force. What are we giving these young people, that will help them to live wisely, serve ably, and lead successfully in their time? True, we are giving them instruction in the stored wisdoms of the races. The books, laboratories, the classrooms and shops are wide open to them. But are we teaching the arts, the sciences, and the skills in a way that will waken their souls and stimulate in them a respect for truth and a regard for their fellowmen? Are we teaching them so that they will use their abilities in terms of service? On the quality of our teaching and their learning, rests the fate of the world. BOB HATHEWAY, Form III.
