An Analysts of jlfy Attztude Cfdoward gducatzon Have you ever sat down and asked yourself Just what is my attitude toward educa tion I for one had neyer considered this question until Just the other day It happens that I did meditate upon the problem as a result of receiving mv final application for ad mission to an Eastern college My conclusions with regard to the subyect were surprising ey en to me First of all the realization struct me that it was not education 111 itself which I disliked in some of its phases but rather some of the methods and practices of formal education as I know it This statement mav at first seem sul prlsing or out of order Actually it is neither The chief reason vshy I have maintained a rather high scholastic average has been slmply that I knew I was capable of doing so that to have done otherwise would have constituted weakness upon my part in failing to utilize to their fullest extent the t1lents which God had given me You see it is not bv any mea11s impossible to do well something one does not en Joy doing Naturally enough I am IS happy as anvont elsc to gun a tcmpoiaiy rcspite lrom thc formal education 11 system in the torm of a y cation but this yoy is a natuial coiollaiy oi study under dll educational curr1culum demanding the pu1su1t of teitnn subiects in which ing as a result of the experiences and demands of daily life yet he Il1lk8S no eftoit to resist this type of education Then another question 1ns1nu1ted itself into my mind Do I merely hold no p 11't1cula1 dislike foi education or 1s1t possible that I actually like and enioy it' As a icsult of my thinking done pieyious to the arising of this question the answer came to me more quickly this time I do not merely tolerate education Ilike it-love it I11 educat1o11 there is Joy DOWSI and glory The1e IS the Joy of knovying there is the DOVVGI of being able to apply ones knowledge and there is the glory that comes ol an u11de1stand111g oi hovy he should apply this knowledge Education is essentially knowledge a11d understanding It is the one enduiing tning lL can neve1 be take11 from one it IS the basis for all things Education is the only thing really worth possessing fo1 the yalue of all things worthy of possession sprlngs from 1 knowledge of thell application and usage Next came the thought What IS the practical vxlue of an education' In IFISWCYIHQ, this query I must confess that I was at first selflsh It appeared obvious that dll education along the proper lines would better fit me to earn a liying in latei life This education must be both liberal and Sp8Cldl1Zf-Bd along some particular l111e if we are to do well in the complex world of todav as a result of it It must aim to develop character personality opcnmindcd 11ess tolerance and inherent ability if the indiyidual is to profit greatly bec luse of it Although not so readily capable of preception it was within the scope of my powers of observation to disceln the fact that complete and proper education 18 of inestimable yalue to society as a whole Since the whole of any soc1ety1s composed of indiyiduals anything which benefits the individual benefits society proportionately My conclusions with respect to the true value of education yy ere twofold It piovides each of us with both the specifications and tools with which to build the house of Life It is the only light IH the darkness of the limitless expanses of the caverns of Ignorance as such it should be sought after for its own sake the Joy and satisfaction which can come only from knowing' ROSS E GRAVLS CJanua1y Valed1ctor1anJ 312 I ' Al 1 '1 1 I' f1'.m m1,,:,'i L f 9,--1 ' QM. ., 1 57 1 is., KJ '51 if 171, , - , I .-1. sgnt A.
