I and Germany give to their nations
their thousands OF students, disciplin-
ed in the use of their minds. schooled
TO exact knowledge. with developed
capacity of thoroughness. They carry
these rugged Indispensable attributes
into every activity of the national
life-into their sciences, their arts,
their politics, and, above all, into their
great world industries. Every year
our universities add their thousands
to the great army of their alumni. I'M
drilled, unschooled, without serious
preparation totally lacking the essen
tial quality of thoroughness. And
these defects they carry with them in
to the struggle for commercial SUI
premacy with France and Germany. In
other words. we are opposing anna
tours to professionals.
Opinions His Own.
Il am solely responsible for what
shall say this evening in answer to the
question, What is education? My
opinions involve no one else, and are
entitled TO respect only in so far as
they are based on sane interpreta-
ton of observation and experience. AS
Rabbi Wise of New York might say,
! have tried to see things as they are,
and now will try to say them as | see
them. IL is for each thoughtful hear
er to determine by his own judgment
whether | am right whensI say, for ex-
ample, that the crude and rudimentary
first step in any education worthy of
the name-no matter how It may have
been obtained-is an ability to earn
a respectable livelihood through train
ed fitness for some useful calling. You
may find many learned doctors who
violently dissent from this view. In
a popular and otherwise excellent es-
say DR.. Henry Van Dyke, for instance,
sides vehemently with the high-poten-
tial mental possibility faction when he
says: #
Il will not ask whether college
training has any commercial value,
whether 1t enables one to command a
large wage in the market-place, whe-
Their it opens the door to wealth, or
fame, or social distinction; nor even
whether it increases the chance of
winning place in the red book of
Who's Who These questions are
treasonabIe to the very idea of educa-
ton, which aims not at marketable
product, but at vital development
ANY one who wishes is of course
perfectly at liberty to assimilate this
sweet little teaspoonful of syllabub
To me 1t seems thin kind of think
ing that opposes value as an antithe-
sis to life; marketable product is SIM
ply an opprobious synonym for value
OF course education aims at vital de-
velopment; but is not vital develop
ment worth something? How can life
develop at all unless it is capable of
self-support? Is parasite a noble
type of vital development? Mind you,
don't say that education ought to fit
man to earn fortune; or that its
final and complete mission is anywise
accomplished when it merely fits a
man to earn living; but | do say
that in the A B G of education the abil-
ity to earn decent. living ranks A.
