Sa THE TESTS OF OUR EDUCATION Our civilization today is very complex. To prepare ourselves for life, an educa- tion is required. What is education? The dictionary gives this definition: Education is the acquisition of knowledge, skill, and discipline of character. Knowledge is ac- quired in the schools and colleges, skill is acquired by practice, and discipline of character is acquired through our relationship with other people. Our education, then, is all of these that we acquire from the time we are born to the time that we die. We spend the early part of our lives preparing for the test. Those who have worked the hardest, those who have practiced the longest, and those who have made the greatest use of their inherited talents will pass the test. The others will fail. How may we test a person's education? It cannot be placed on scales and weighed. Neither can it be measured with a yardstick. The test of our education will be the success we attain in life. Success is judged according to the individual. What is one man's success is another man's failure. Also, what may be considered a failure today, may be a success tomorrow. Some of history's greatest men were considered failures in their day. If a person has made full use of his talents and lived an honest life, then he can be called a success. To become a success, we must set our goals and then work toward them con- tinuously. Though we may become discouraged, we should not quit. The Curies labored for years in poverty and ridicule before they finally achieved success. A man once said, On the plains of hesitation rest the bones of countless millions who, at the dawn of victory, paused to rest and resting, died. This does not mean, however, that we should ignore others in our quest for success. The story is told of the man who set out to climb a mountain. He wanted to reach the very top. As he climbed up the mountainside, he came across people ask- ing him to stop and help them. But he couldn't take his eyes off the goal. He ignored them and continued climbing. Finally he reached the summit, and there he died alone. This man was selfish in his desire to reach the top. He was a success, but we must give him a low score on his test of education, because he lacked character. Discipline of character is a very important part of our education. Our environ- ment and training are the things that mold our character. We can face life with confidence because the teachers of this school have given us the best enviroment and training possible. Each of us has the opportunity to make a high score on the rest of education. We should take full advantage of this opportunity and strive toward suc- cess in life. -PHILIP NEWNAM Page Twenty seven
