Education is a gradual process, and with it comes the passing from the immature to the mature mind. Each student has chosen a specific field of study and he is eager to learn all the technicalities of that field. But soon after his studies begin he realizes that the GENERAL EDUCATION world in which he seeks a place is more than tech- nicalities—it is a mass of many things that surround his learned technical knowledge and cause it to blend into a co-ordinate whole.

■» Familiarization with history, psychology, economics, philosophy, and the many general education subjects is essential to the well-educated specialist. By striving to gain a panoramic view of the world in which he will work, the student realizes that he will be better qualified to participate in it.
