Albert w. Mueller talked on Wisdom
and Learning Here is the text of his
address:
/ Wisdom is the quality of being wise,
the right use or exercise of our knoWl-
edge, the choice Of worthy ends and the
best means to accomplish them. Il is
also the exercise of sound judgment eth
er in avoiding evil or attaining good.
1t is further the just use of learning, and
not learning itself.
A learned man may not possess one i.
ota of wisdom, and wise man may be
destitute of learning. A famous poet
says, at is much better to have wisdom
without learning than learning without
wisdom"
| In the first instance we car make wise
use of what little we know; in the second
instance our knowledge is practically
useless. For this reason it is better to
possess the faculty of judging what is
most just, proper and useful ~ than to
treasure up any amount of knowledge
we can never use to advantage.
Wit and wisdom may be born with
man; and even were this statement false,
it is evident that they may be cultivated.
Therefore if wisdom is not born with
man there is no reason why he should
spend life without it any more than
there is that he should go through life
without any knowledge of arithmetic or
any other subject of practical use because
he was not born with it.
We gain learning from books, but ex-
perience gained from actual life is wis
dom. Carlyle says, cit is not by books
alone, nor by books chiefly that man be-
comes in all parts man." This dis
tinction between wisdom, and the super
iority of the former over. the latter
should not be overlooked.
If but one can he enjoyed, it is far bet
ter to choose wisdom. Together they are
stronger and better than either alone,
for they are made to supplement each
other, and each IS best when it lives in
| the life of the other. A wise learned
man is the best gift to the world. i
Wisdom embraces forethought, foresight
and forecast, while learning may en-
brace none of these. This fact alone
sets forth the prominent place wisdom
holds in the achievements of life. Men
who have shown the profoundest ability
in their writings have often proved fee
bic and inefficient in active life, incapa-
bic of acting upon their own conclusions.
They are acute and sagacious enough as
observers, but the moment they descend

with the crowd their wisdom evaporates
in words.
It is our task therefore in this world
tt, obtain both wisdom and learning, put
ting the greater before the less, but sac
riicing neither entirely to the other,
We study to learn, and learn to be wise.
But wisdom is SO to apply our learning,
whetherit be derived from hooks and stu
dy or from our every day experience, that
1t may profit us in the common walks of
| life, and leave us at its close ADLER, no.
