Broadening Scope Of Education

raphy of their city and the adjacent re-
| gion. Through systematic visits, with
| their own eyes and ears they will learn

yards, rolling mills. manufacturing estab-

higher grade. like hospitals. libraries, So

A capital idea 1t is and one capable OF
being applied in many small commune
ty, whose boys and girls should certainly
know who its pioneers and heroes have
been. what men and women of worth 1t
has contributed to other places and what
it's present equipment is in the way OF
natural resources and institutional
forces.
Another line of suggested education
seems to me equally admirable. bright
western college professor has recently
told his pupils that he should not con-
slider them truly educated unless they
could say yes to certain test questions
such as these:
Has education given you sympathy with
espOuse them?
Has It made you public spirited?
Has 1t made you brother to the weak ?
Have you learned how to make friends
and keep them. Do you know what 1t is
to be a friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or pure
woman straight in the eye?
Do you see anything TO love In a little
child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in the
street?
Can you be high-minded and happy in
the meanest drudgeries of life?
Do you think washing dishes and hoe
ing corn just as compatible with high
thinking as piano playing or golf?
Are you good for anything to yourself?
Can you be happy alone?
Can you look out on the world and see
anything except dollars and cents?

wayside and see the clear sky? Can you
see anything in the puddle but mud?
Can you look into the sky at night and
see beyond the stars? Can your soul
claim relationship with the Creator?
A rather fancifui quiz" I hear some
one remark. But Mr.. Objector don't you
wish that you and your children could
say yes to every one of those questions?

Timothy they came with all their awful ia !,
ness and power. He knew Paul. lie mad
looked into those fathomless eyes. lie
had heard the tones Of that malestc
voice. He had felt the presence or the
man, greater than all he said And we
may be sure that this charge Of Paul
thrilled the heart of the young timothy
with emotions and - - e that did
not subside until his dying hour.
II charge thee in the sight or God. ano
of Christ Jesus, who shall judge the liv-
ing and the dead. and by His appearing
and His Kingdom Could words be more
Impressive? OF all the thoughts that en-
ter the human brain there Is none more
calculated to awe and to alarm the soul
than is that of a coming Judgment. To
stand before an all-knowing and all
powerful Judge and give an account for
every word and deed of our lives is a
thought well calculated to strip the soul
of all weakness and to send 1t out to
toll and suffering, If need be, until the
end Of life. Such convictions make mar
tyrs.

Paul'S Loneliness.

of his loneliness. 1t shows the dual nature

not other creatures like himself? One
thing is sure. He has never attempted IL.

By the Churchman.

HE amig lightly dollar excepted,
there is perhaps no single sub
ject on which the American
people bestow so much atten-
ton as education Look at the
vast sums appropriated from PUBIC
treasures and the constant unclasping OF
private purses in behalf of various insti-
tutions The magazines and papers are
full of discussions on different phases of
education, physical, intellectual, moral.
industrial. vocational Large conventions
and small conferences agitate the same
theme We are one as a nation in our
desire that the rising generation shall be-
come intelligent and able to put It's in
formation and training to good uses.
Nevertheless, there is far from being
unanimity concerning some of the under
lying principles and methods of education.
New college presidents in their inaugural
addresses confess that in certain respects
the situation is unsatisfactory. Too much
empha sis has been laid on a single branch
of learning or on athletics or on electives
or on social life, and the real things Tor
which a college should stand have become
side shows. The public schools, too,
come In for their share of criticism. Min
listers sometimes think that they, more
than any other people in the community.
are the target for gossip and abuse, but
the school teachers are talked about also.
Why shouldn't they be? Don't the tax
payers support them and doesn't the right
of free speech go with taxpaying?
But because of all this discussion, be-
cause educators are asking whether ira
ditionaI methods and courses may not
now be modified in the interests of eff
cheney and a more all-around product,
regard the situation today as full OF cheer
and promise. The children of a decade
hence are to profit greatly by current
discussions and contemplated reforms.
Here is one item registering a SUBJ
stantial advance. Mrs. Young, the new
superintendent of schools in Chicago, has
decided to substitute for algebra in the

Reward.

"Henceforth there is laid up for mo
a crown of righteousness. This was
the climax, the heavenly reward. God
hasn't time, in this life. to give tire
full rewards of our devotion to us Nor
could we bear it. We must wait until
this mortal is swallowed up in immor-
tality." Paul had had SO much of the
divine glory that he could not tell
whether he was in the body or out oe
the body. But there was d glory great
er than the eye could see. or the ear
could hear. or the heart of man could
conceive. No wonder that Paul was
triumphant in view of death.
