search for understanding reveals . . . RIGHT: The new driveway, a recent addition to our schoal, provides access to the front entrance. Extremely important in o productive search for understanding is a wide variety of interests on the port of the seeker. The general topic under- standing pervades every possible phase of man's thinking and action, and it is therefore so vast that 0 single person can never hope to hove o knowl- edge of each aspect. Men hove spent their whole lifetime investigating, applying, and improving c1 relotively few known tocts about themselves, about their contemporaries, or about the world in which we live. There- fore, in his career field 0 person must concentrate his efforts in order to become successful. But to o weII-rounded person, this necessity only in- creases the importance of having other interests, for in no other way con he broaden his background. By having a large number of diversified intellectual and social activities 0 perSOn ieoms to appreciate the cultures of other peoples and the progress in other fields of endeavor. The degree to which he searches for knowledge in eoch field will determine how well- educoted, mature and cultured-thot is, how understondingtxeon individ- uol he is.

All The progress ThoT has been made in The world is basically monis success in learning To under- sTond himself, oTher personoIiTies, and The physical and spiritual lows of The uni- verse.

AlThough man has Teorned c1 greeT deal about noTure, he has noT learned enough about him- sehc 0nd oThers To geT along wiTh Those he meeTs or To live in peace in The world.
