, Ellen Wddle and Wiadwm- Ealfege and Smzdmziam Q 1 J' T i Mrs. WhiTe had a leading parT in The Tounding of Madison College. IT was she who selecTed The spoT- The beauTiTul Tarm, as she called iT-upon which The school was builT. She had recenTly reTurned Trom a year's sTay in AusTralia where The Avondale school had been esTablished, under her caireTul guidance. And This new school in America was To be Tounded largely on The principles oT The one in AusTralia. ln The early years oT The school and unTil The Time oT her deaTh, Mrs. WhiTe conTinued her acTive supporT oT The work aT Madison. Large framed picTure of Ellen G. WhiTe hanging in The FaculTy Room aT Madison College Sie The school aT Madison noT only educaTes in a knowledge oT The ScripTures, buT iT gives a pracTical Training ThaT TiTs The sTudenT To go TorTh as a selT-supporTing missionary To The Tield To which he is called .... The sTudenTs have been TaughT To raise Their own crops, To build Their own houses, and To care wisely Tor caTTle and poulTry. They have been learning To become self-supporTing, and a Training more imporTanT Than This They could noT receive. Thus They have obTained a valuable educaTion Tor usefulness in missionary Tields. The class oT educaTion given aT The Madison school is such as will be accounTed a Treasure oT greaT value by Those who Take up missionary work in Toreign Tields. IT many more in oTher schools were receiving a similar Training, we as a people would be a specTacle To The world, To angels, and To men. The message would be quickly carried To every counTry, and souls now in darkness would be broughT To The lighT. LeT us sTrengThen This company oT educaTors To conTinue The good work in which They are engaged, and labor To encourage oThers To do a similar work. Then The lighT oT TruTh will be carried in a simple and eTTecTive way, and a greaT work will be accomplished Tor The MasTer in a shorT Time. An Appeal Tor The Madison School, pp. l-3 The useTulness learned on The school Tarm is The very educaTion ThaT is mosT essenTial Tor Those who go ouT as missionaries To many Toreign Tields. IT This Training is given wiTh The glory oT God in view, greaT resulTs will be seen. No work will be more eTTecTual Than ThaT done by Those who, having obTained an educaTion in pracTical liTe, go TorTh To mission Tields wiTh The message OT TruTh, prepared To insTrucT as They have been insTrucTed. The knowledge They have obTained in The Tilling oT The soil and oTherslinexs,oT manual work, and which They carry wiTh Them To Their TieldsoT labor, will make Them a blessing even' in heaThen lands. IT was presenTed To me ThaT This was a place where an all-round educaTion could be given advan-- Tageously To sTudenTs who should come Trom The lNlorTh and The SouTh Tor insTrucTion.

T Wig Wieemge 7a Zan WhaT can one say To youTh ThaT has noT already been said? Very liTTle, I sup- pose. NeverTheless, even as The Lord con- Tinues To counsel and admonish us we need To do The same Tor one anoTher. WhaT is educaTion? WhaT will The righT kind of educaTion do Tor me? In answer we would do well To conTemplaTe The sTaTemenT made by a deeply religious wriTer, in which she says ThaT True edu- caTion is The developmenT oT The rnenTal, physical and moral powers. True educaTion is based upon a divine philosophy, The principles oT which were PRESIDENT WESLEY AMUNDSEN esTablished by Jesus ChrisT, who said, November, I950-April. I952 This is liTe eTernal ThaT They mighT know Theo, The only True God, and Jesus ChrisT. whom Thou hasT senT. The righT kind oT educaTion will help you To build upon This spiriTual ToundaTion. There is no oTher saTe ToundaTion. The end o'T True educaTion is eTernal liTe. To obTain eTernal liTe There musT be a personal relaTionship wiTh God and l-lis Son Jesus ChrisT.
