To M. H. S.—An Appreciation This world was a worthless ball until the mind of man began to transform it and himself. How many millions of years it was spinning before man appeared and how many more years elapsed before he bad a literature, a history, — a civilization ! Yet all the material resources were present. They lacked only the magic touch of a gifted hand. Education is the bearer of great gifts. It gives the power to appreciate (1) one ' s God (the religions); {■ ) beauty (the arts); (3) one ' s fellowmen (the morali- ties) ; ( I) life, (the sciences, social and natural). It gives wealth. Man ' s hand guided by the educated mind transforms worthless raw material into beauty and utility, — into something desirable for one whom it has already taught hoxv to appreciate. It gives everything that makes life worth while — civilization itself. Man is still in the process of being created. He is being created in the image of the Unknown. And the name of the process is education. It covers the life of a man, of a race, of a civilization, of a cycle of civilizations. Believing these things, one concludes that man has, as yet, only tasted of happi- ness, has only glimpsed wealth, has only dreamed goodness and beauty. His poten- tialities are still largely unrealized. Education ' s great unending task lies ahead. Both teacher and student are directly engaged in this great creative enterprise. My Father ' s business is what the great Teacher called it. Chester Newlun
