The President’s Message S AYS JOHN HUSTON FINLEY, “Education, how many glittering gen¬ eralities are recorded in its name? Was not Nero educated? Yes, but not in moral conscience and righteousness. Was not Benedict Arnold educated? Yes, but he had very little sense in patriotism and con¬ science. Was not the late German Emperor educated? Yes, in art, in science, in literature and even in theology, but few criminals outcrimed him in hyman history.” It is evident, then, that men may be counted educated and be neither good rulers, good citizens or good men. Men may be educated in crime, in dishonesty, in selfishness or any other tendency of the heart or mind for the word means to “draw out,” or “develop,” or “train.” We do not, how¬ ever, accept the definition without qualification. It is not simply to “draw out” with no reference to the result on direction. The direction makes the difference. We need not spend the time and money in developing men downward, the natural evil in men’s hearts will do that. But men must be helped UPWARD. And if what we term education is not helping men and woman upward, then it is not education, but mere animal training. Our fathers held that a training in KNOWLEDGE and GODLINESS was the end sought. Herbert Spencer said, “To prepare us for complete living is the function which an education has to discharge.” But to live completely one must be symmeterically developed. He must fit the place intended for him; he must be intellectually, morally and spiritually a LIFT¬ ING part in the world of mankind. We may train the intellectual alone and produce a Loeb or a Leopold; we may train the mental and moral alone and produce a pagan philosopher; we may train the religious emotions alone and produce a fanatic. None of these have ever done anything to¬ ward l ifting the world out of darkness, superstition and crime. The men¬ tal is necessary; the moral is necessary and these, touched with life of the spiritual, make the educated man. It is not the education we need if it lays more stress on chemistry than on character; on politics than on piety; on oratory than on obedience; on gymnastics than on God. Page Fifteen
