Education is not merely going to
school. Anybody can say that. But
its true.
Education raised to it's highest pow
er is, in a general sense, perfected

In this is included taste for and
certain knowledge of the basic princi-
pies of the various phases of art.
No culture is complete that does not
recognize its own catholicity. No edu-
cation is accomplished that does not
face toward every point of the intellec-
tual compass.
You may hear a person with
choice assortment of college degrees,
saying
"Oh, I care nothing for art"
Poetry does not interest me-"
II do not understand music"
II never go to the theater."
Newspapers? I never read 'em-oh,

too sensational-nothing but murders
and scandals and divorces"

latter instance-"is that SOL"

Living is a mere habit.
