Man possesses a uniqueness which enhances every phase of his existence. Awareness of this wonder leads to appreciation of man's enormous depth of being. A fiower can never rise above its status, its existence may not be altered. Once it has reached maturity, we cannot ascribe new meaning or greater importance to the Hower: HA rose is a rose is a rose. YVe dare not make a similar pronouncement upon man. For he is able to soar to heights of undefinable significance and unlimited growth. And this uniqueness that characterizes man's supremacy and blessedness is none other than Potential. It is a seed whose ultimate is fruit and blossom. The seed is not content with its lot, it desires to enlarge, expand and bear produce. So man's potential must not remain a latent power, but an active reality. This is accomplished through Education. The Latin root of the word education is e-ducere, literally to lead forth or to bring out something that is potentially present. Thus education is the means for the realization of man's exalted destiny. We must not be deceived, however, by idolatrous imitations of education such as exist in the Soviet system. Soviet education starts with a postulate and shapes facts to fall in harmony with that assumption. In contrast, the definition of true education is the willingness to observe facts and follow them to their logical conclusion rather than to direct them into a pre-desired pattern. At this point a distinction must be made between Education and Knowl- edge. The latter is the objective study of man's orientation of facts. It is the acquisition of the end products of creative history. Education, however, is the evaluation, analysis, and subjective immersion into the underlying causes, con- cepts, and philosophic validity of knowledge. In our times of material wealth amidst intellectual poverty, the existence of humanity faces a double threat. Scientific progress endangers existence while the lack of education and morals challenges humanity. Man's optimistic potential now resides in a pit of pessimistic stagnation and suicide. The means are in our hands, but do we have the will to save man and restore his dignity? George Sobelman
