CHQ' . lun--'- ' CARL KREIDER, Ph.D., Dean Some abstract thinkers have regarded education as an end in itself. The good life was considered to be the lite ol' the scholar who had con- quered the darkness of ignorance and superstition, and who therefore lived on a higher plane merely by his superior command ol' the facts of the uni- verse and of the thought processes which lead to an approach to abstract truth. Utilitarian philosophers, on the other hand, have pointed with rea- soned pride to the value ol' education as an excellent tand oftentimes the onlyj means to an end. Statistics were gathered to show that college- trained men earned higher salaries, were more successful in public ollice. and enjoyed an enhanced social prestige. Furthermore, the good society would be achieved once illiteracy were banished and members of the so- ciety secured a knowledge of the world in which they lived. I have never been willing to accept the thesis that education is only an end in itself or that it should serve as means to materialistic ends. Christian education can have only one rn 1.8011-fl'l'liI'4' that will satisfy the test of ultimate valdity: to enable the Christian to render more effective service to Christ and His Church. This does not preclude the possibility that the educated Christian will esteem his education as an end. nor does it hold categorically that edu- cation will not assist him in earning' his living' or attaining social promi- nence. If these other ends come, however, they must be regarded strictly as by-products. Attention directed to them as primary goals will endanger the one great purpose of Christian living-service to Christ and His Church. -Curl Kl'c1'rlc1'. 17
