To lin' Hoya' and Cfrfy of flu' Clan of l929: llerbert Spencer tlelines the function of education as one which prepares us for complete living. llc does not say that education is something you receive in school or in college, in the home or in the church, but he tells you what education should accomplish. All of your associations and experiences have some ellect on your accomplishments and character. The educational nature of these contacts and tests are determined by their preparation for better and more complete living. ln the degree that yot1 are more able to enjoy the worth while things in life, and are capable of real, constructiye ellort you are just so much more completely living. It is not so important that you are now able to read in a foreign language, understand a chemical equation. or make outa true trial balance. as it is that through these abilities. you may enjoy and appreciate good literature of other countries, have a broad scientific outloolt and understand the ethics of honest figures. Behind all of yourellort for more learning. whether it be in the class room or in the account- ant's office. there should be a worthy desire to use this knowledge and training as means of making you a happy. ellicient citizen. 'l'he great weakness in so many young people is their lack of individuality, the willingness to pattern after some one who is a little noisier or more insistent. Do not be pecul- iar but be yourself. Deyelop those powers that you possess. Be in your own lield the best in your class. listablish ideals and standards that you know are high and right, and hang on. This sort of persistency is an education in itself and pre- pares you for more worthy and complete living. 071 Pngr lilfrf
