An adjective that is rapidly losing
much Of its former significance is the
term "self.educated." At best 1T could
hardly be used posltlvery, but only in
a relative sense. That is, all educa-
ton is, more or less, achieved by ones
SELF The collegion does not sit pas
siyely and have knowledge poured INTO
him. He has worked long and hard
.ar it. And, on the other hand, the
man who has never been to college
nay have had almost as many aids to
education, though of different kind.
And now, at least, wnen libraries, lee.
ture courses and university extensions
are within the reach of all, 1t IS doubt,
full If there are any men who are
strictly self.educated even in tue old
sense.
But there is still a type Of man or

persons, but with a decided tendency
to the enlarged ego. The latter char
acteristic is almost Inevitable. The
collegian gives credit FOR all that he
knows or is to his alma mater. The
so.called self.educated4man gives cred
it to no one but himself. Tie attitude
necessarily makes him conceIted, and
sometimes braggart.
This egotism is getting to be so rec
ognlzed mark of the self-educated
that the title is likely to fail into des'
uetude. When a term has become
perverted it should be dropped; and
"selt.educatlon" seldom stands for hon
est independent effort as it used to.
IT more often means a failure to give
credit to the many magnificent edu'
catipnal opportunities which our couu'
try affords.
