fr 1,,-v f44-- cm MESSAGE mm fl.. PRESXDENT education, H. W. of D onold R. Calista In reply to a query on Beecher said, 'Education is the knowledge how to use the whole of one's self. Many men use but one or two faculties out of the many PRESIDENT with which they are endowed. A man is educated who knows how to make a tool out of every faculty --how to open it, how to keep it sharp, and how to apply it to all practical purposes.' When l first read this, it didn't seem of great importance, then it struck me that this man had a great deal to say. Upon inspection my ques- tion was - have our faculties been opened here at Bushwick? During the past years at Bushwick a wide realm of education has been opened, and for many of us, a still wider realm of human knowledge will open as we go on to college to prepare for professional fields. When we have finished using textbooks and teachers as the source of our education, experience will play a major role. We must at all times observe what is going on around us in order to keep informed. So far we have had only fundamental teachings. We are now faced with the enigma of how to apply them toward our final goals. The application of what we have learned and what we will have learned becomes the most difficult task. Beecher says we have to use nthe whole of one's self.' Knowledge is power, but if not used constructively for our development, it will lie dormant. The best possible way to meet life is to awake each morning prepared and eager for its challenges. With such an attitude we keep our minds forever moving. Bear in mind that education never ceases. May the rising sun bring you success and hap- piness each day. , 54411 f F xl. A f aff ff -524 '-f gf V-3 zz. I
