SENATOR J. H. LEWIS ON COLLEGE STANDARDS

Should the young man who cannot
be a great mathematician be driven
hardest in a subject in which he fun
damentally has no interest? l do not
think so. On the contrary, l believe
that many young man has stopped
college because he faced this tremen-
dous. discouraging wall.
Suppose that the years which this
young man devotes to the study of
mathematics be given over to the pur-
suit of his favorite study, languages.
How far might he not advanced"
What do you regard as mans
greatest educational infiuence" was
asked.
"Unquestionably the Bible." replied
Senator Lewis. THE Bible from cover
to cover is mine of knowledge, of
philosophy, history, English construc.
tion-and these are but a few of the
educational ingredients that go to
make up the Bible. My education,
believe, has been mostly influenced
by this wonderful book. Today
read it with the assiduity with which
l studied 1t twenty years ago.
THE questions which it answers
and the quotations remain constantly
In my mind. / use them frequently
