nd Opportunity Is young men to lead a worthy life, not just to make a living. ” — Robert E. Lee Education, not an end in itself, is a bridge- work to other, loftier things. Nor is education simply a process for learning important theories and fundamentals. It is a limitless period in To Teach which logic, reason, and perception have an op- portunity to develop if they are allowed to ger- minate in an open, curious, interested mind. All the years spent in schooling are meant to be preparation for a future which does not nec- essarily include more formal learning but which will be filled with problems requiring self- discipline and rational judgment. A philosophy of education is of no avail un- less it becomes more th an a belief. Lee’s convic- tions are shared and exemplified by G.W.’s educators.
