The KICK-OFF 1925 student 8 training ns the knowledge gained from hooks. The modern tendency is to stress sports and societies too much. “Be moderate in nil things,” is a good motto. Another important tendency ot modern training is to try out education by the project method. The chief ben- efit derived from this method is the training received from meeting many students interested in the same work. These things go to make up n part of one’s education. However, the student who wishes to train his mind to act efficiently must work alone. He must work long and hard. What modern education most needs, to quote Hr. Sullivan, is to “chuck the soft pedagogy and get down to brass tacks.” The motive power of all action is, after all, the appeal to the emo- tions. The desire of people to express their emotions has been inherited from ancient times. But as the emotions have become refined by educa- tion so has the expression become improved. Emotions are the soul of a people. Since this is true, should not the emotions receive the most careful attention and training? To become an automaton is not the goal fora living soul. America needs live souls. She must have people who value real education,—that which trains a pupil to think for himself. If America is to assume and maintain her place of rightful leadership among the nations of the world, she must do it through the medium of better educational opportunities for the citizens of tomorrow.
