Education and Service f iDUCATION is adjustment to envu-on- J merit, but it is too often overlooked that environment itself grows and is ever running away from you. Education must not only fit you to environment but keep you up to it. It must not only enable you to adjust yourself as nearly perfectly as may be but to readjust yourself and keep on readjusting yourself as long as you live. Besides, you must do your part in remak- ing envirmonment to fit your own and the needs of your fellows. Like the Athenian- ephe you must be solemnly dedicated to the task of leaving your country and the world greater and better than they were when com- mitted to you. You must be trained to pull your own weight and not to prevent the other fellow from pulling his; that is, you ynust be able to buy your living from society and must not interfere with your neighbor who buys his; and, in addition, you must by your efforts raise the standard of living both for yourself and for society. That you may have inherited wealth or position does not exempt you. Your active nature and your membership in society both require you to work your way by per- forming your share of the service. E. C. FISHER.
