Education Tdeals The Seniors and their Parents are to be congratulated on the occasion of this graduation exer- cise - the parents for providing their children with the opportu- nity of a real and complete edu- cation and the graduates for util izing this opportunity, because a great deal of what is careless-=- ly catted education today is at best a very superficial training. When America was young, edu- cation was firmly grounded on the truth that knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom,but since the latter part of the nineteenth century a great deal of education came under the influence of secu- larism,a philosophy which conven- lently forgets God and confines man's destiny to this earth. The result is that it began to con- fuse means with ends and instead of teaching a person the neces- sity of how to live well,it sole- ly concerns itself with teaching him how to make a temporal liv- ing. Education should continue to make changes of policy fo meet. changing times but most of the all it should emphasize the prin- ciples that make the true Ameri- can - the Christian - concept of education the best in the world. This kind of education has for its purpose to teach a person not only how to make a living | but also how to live, and shapes every activity to this end. Underlying every course of study should be a program prescribed, not because of the professions or trades that students will one day pursue, but because of their ultimate destiny as children of God. Keeping these fundamentals in mind, our school then has for its primary purpose the education of the whole man in the finest tra- ditions of Christian culture to help him mature his faculties of intellect and will,body and soul, so that he may be prepared for life in time and eternity. Wishing the graduates God's blessings for continued success,I remain Sincerely yours in Christ, Rev. Leon P. Pisula
