EDUCATION WITH A PLUS That man, said the president of a large university some years ago, can be put into the classroom to substitute for any teacher on my entire faculty — he is an educated man. And he went on to say that, were it Eng- lish, history, languages, or science, the man could still meet the need. Truly, that is education. But is it? Is education only the possession of knowledge and the ability io pass it on to others? Or is there something else, the plus of education? With all thy wisdom, writes Solomon, get understanding. Under- standing of what? Why, of God, for without understanding of hHim there can be no full understanding of the world He created nor of the people with which he populated it. Man, who is physical and mental, is also, and basical- ly, spiritual; and it is only through the plus of spiritual understanding that we can be educated to know others, indeed, to know ourselves. Then, there is the plus of usability. It is not enough to have knowledge; one must also be usable, hlis knowledge, his personality, his character must all work together to make him useful to society. This is usability — this, too, is a plus to education. And these two plusses, spiritual understanding and usability, are two of the many which make Bryan University an educational center, Bryan grad- uates educated leaders. oLJean oL). vU. l ,utker r
