In the early stone ages man used only the crudest sort of implements, but as time passed he kept improv- ing the ideas and tools of the generation before. Books replaced the rough drawings made by these early people. Better means of transportation were developed and so, in this manner,.the world has continually changed up to modern times. Of course, there are exceptions to this, for example, China. The Chinese people until fairly recent years used the ideas of their ancestors without trying to improve these ideas. Too, they did not profit from the experience of the inhabitants of other nations. Today this backward republic is being gradually conquered by the people of the more modernized ‘Land of the Rising Sun.” “Not what happens to us, but what we do with what happened to us determines our character, our progress, and our destiny.”—The Estoreist. It is the same with individuals as with nations. Those who apply the knowledge gained from past experience to a good advantage usually advance farthest in their struggle for success. This great teacher also helps create better character and to make improvements in the mental, moral, and physical condition. Of course, experi- ence is of no use if we do not master it. One must be its master, not its slave. However, we should not rely upon our own experience as a sole teacher. If we did life would not be long enough for us to learn everything we should know. Through the study of books we can profit from our own experience as well as the experience of others. “Tt’s not such a shame to be ignorant, as it is to be unwilling to learn.”—Milton.

The defin-tion of education as given in Winston’s is—‘‘Education comprehends all that we assimilate from the beginning to the end of our lives in the developing of the powers and facul- ties bestowed upcn us at birth.” Education plays a large part in determining the custom and habits of people. Ve have noticed that the nations who make the most progress are the nations who change their ideas to fit ever changing conditions. It is necessary that we have a good start toward the right kind of learning and I think most of the schools today prepare us very well for the long journey of life. Our schooling gives each individual know.edge that is up-building to the nation as a whole. “To prepare us for complete living is the function which education has to discharge.’—H. Spencer. Our education does not stop with our schooldays, however. We continue to learn as long as we live. We remember longest these things taught us in our younger years. “Certainly custom is most perfect when it beginneth in young years: this we call edu- cation, which is, in effect, but an early custom.’’—Bacon. It is important that the people, especially of a democratic nation, are educated since we all have a part in the government which rules us. Do we know why we voted for a certain man who was running for office? Do we have any ideas of our own? Whether it is in government affairs or everyday life we should have ideas of our own, but not ideas that are unchangeable. We should be tolerant of other peoples ideas but at the same time do our own thinking; this is one of the marks of an educated man. There are many different methods of gaining knowledge in school, by reading books, or through our own experience—but that is not important; it is what we know, not how we came to know about it, which counts. —S.
