BENTON SEMINARY.
REGULAR CORRESPONDENCE.

Man, as the climax in the orderof
creation and in his threefold being,
finds responsive echoes throughout
Gods great universe. To every
sense, appetite and impulse nature
answers and bids him express the
true, the beautiful, the good. The
Greeks, the Hebrews and the leu
tons, in separate lines, developed
the physical, the intellectual and
the religious, but it remains for the
twentieth century to blend this
trinity-to give uniformity, sym
metry and unity-that perfect lib
erty be attained by the loving heart,
the generous mind and the plant
body. Nothing is more conducive
to this symmetry of life than is a
liberal education.
In the social life of the. average
young man or young woman Of this
progressive twentieth century,
nothing is more important than a
good, liberal education. Nothing
is more damaging to the young
mind than the practice of cram
ming for graduation, insisted upon
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1904-10-28

by so many so called ambitious
parents.
"More education and less grad
uation" should be the watchword of
the true educator, until the mental
dyspeptic disappears and strong
bodies give promise of better
things for manhood and for wom-
anhood. But a gradual, system
attic development of the powers of
the body, and mind, and soul give
solid foundation for a harmoni-
GUS superstructure. Such an edu-
cation Huxley calls ''liberal ed
ucation,' and truly it is the ideal
one.
