Qur Philosophy oi Education As THE ENDOWMENTS by which the Lick, Wilnierding, and Lux Schools are main- tained are perpetual trusts, it is reasonable to suppose that these schools will continue to the end of time. They have joined hands for a common purpose, because the wishes of the Founders were so nearly identical. It was their belief that culture and useful knowledge could be and should be combined in the education and preparation of youths for their life work. Many volumes have been written, and preachments without end have been heard, regarding the purposes and objectives of education, but all that has been printed or voiced on that subject can be boiled down to the conclusion that learning how to live and learning how to make a living constitute the essence of an education that most people need, but do not get. That is what Mr. Lick, Mr. Wilmerding, and Mrs. Lux believed, and what they wanted us to demonstrate in the schools for which they so generously provided. All who have helped in this undertaking-students, graduates, teachers, trustees, and friends-may rightly feel that they have contributed something of value to the cause of education and the permanent welfare of humanity. 2524.
