Page 4 MAN must learn before he can act To ensure that his action will be beneficial to his fellowman, man must possess knowledge. Although it is impossible for man to learn all the facts in every subject area, he should be acquainted with much. The learned man will value the knowledge that he can obtain from books for they represent the storehouse of in- formation of the past, but he will also value the lessons he acquires trom his experiences. Learning through his own efforts will teach him that accepting statements without proot can be harmful. He should be pre- pared to question proposed hypoth- eses and to search for his own answers. Man's possession of knowl- edge will enable him to improve him- self as well as help his fellowman and his environment.

MAN must be sound in mind and body If man is to take action with the knowledge he has gained, he must have a sound body. Every man can- not be as physically fit as the athlete, but he can keep his body healthy. A healthy body provides a better opportunity for a developed mind to act. The mind can show man what actions to take, but it can do nothing to make the body act if the body is unfit for action. A man with a healthy mind and body can finish the job he starts.
