DR.. JohDson's Address.
The commencement address was by
Rev. II. 7. Johnson, PHI D., of Phila-
delphia, DR.. Johnson's subject was
The True End of Education" In the
beginning, he said: FThe season of
study and worry is over, a least to
the graduating class, according to the
current notions. But the strange par
adox that would give license to this in
fatuation, finds sanction neither in the
underlying philosophy of the occasion
nor in the Technology by which it is
universally known. In the outset, let
us dispel the delusion that the COM
mencement occasion means a finality
in any such sense"
He spoke at length upon the neces-
sity of q proper conception of the
meaning and use of education. Said
hn Nfrrf sNfe
education is more than book learning
and that head knowledge is but one of
It's component parts. Beginning with
the head, education concerns itself
with the training of the mind in its
various powers. 1t sharpens the intel
lect to think, the judgment to discrim-
mate between truth and error, the will
TO exercise itself in the persistent
choice of right, the memory to repro
duce, and the Imagination to aid in
representations of ideals. Education in
the head alone does no more for man.
than does gold for the purse of the
rich. But education which ends with
the cultivation of the intellect does
but a meager service. The individ-
ual with this mental outfit alone is but
the counterpart OF the man or woman.

would be considered fashionably at
tired, when the bodily raiment Is
marred with spots, breaks or patches,
or what is worse, conspicuous for its
absence from the place designed for it
by nature and society. Do nothing with
the moral sense of man and you have
spectacle no less grotesque, and out
of joint with society, than the semi-at-
tired character just sketched."
A Plea for Education.
In his plea for education of the
moral nature. DR.. Johnson said: Nor
al heroism will be demanded of YOU
when you shall enter the busy arena
of life, if it has not been before. Cour-
age, loyalty, hope. forbearance, long
suffering, forgiveness and generosity
are some of the virtues you will be
required to display from day to day.
Outraged justice and bleeding right
will plead for constant redress in your
presence; courageous souls will not let
them plead in vain
DR.. Johnson warned against the great
temptation of sitting conscience and
overlooking wrong in order to become
popular, or win fame.
Thirdly, he considered the kind of
education. True education demands
an enlargement and discipline of the
entire being and concerns itself no less
with the hand than with the brain and
moral powers. Train the brain to
think, the heart to love and the hands
to work
1T is not until the practical side is
considered that we are qualified to APP
preciate the lofty mission of education
on it's holy office. Knowledge is the
starting point. and character its OBJ
jective goal; the former is the basal
round of the ladder which every man
builds for himself, whether he mounts
| upward or climbs downward. Manual
I training or industrial education is the
preparation for usefulness. Labor is
entitled to the stamp of degradation
only when it is but another name
| for drudgery and when the low intel
| ligence of the laborer sinks him to
/ the level of the animal. From this
| lowly environment science volunteers
| to deliver and exalt all such unfortu-
nate mortals. Science kindles its
/ torch in the bedarkened intellect of
! the unskilled laborer and says, With
in the halo of the life I give, there's
/ beauty, and light, and life unfading,' "
