THOUGHTS ON EDUCATION.
Charge That Some Teachers Confuse
It With Special Training.
From the Theosophical Pat


Some people who write on educa ton
seem to have forgotten what education
is and to be confounding it with special
training. The object of education is 10
broaden the mind, to enlarge the sphere
of interests, to enrich the mental life, to
make the intellect supple and versa
tile, and generally to turn blank and
barren nature into a rich, capacious apd
self-reliant one.
With such an object in view, educa-
ton will have to be wide and various
in its scope; and, as contrasted with
special training, its teachings must be
abstract rather than concrete, and al
ways directed rather to the main object
than to any definite practical end. In
deed, the teaching OF abstract subjects
constitutes a character site function o.
education; because il aims largely to
give the mind power Of dealing vita ab-
Stract ideas. For example, man who
should learn enc language in the same
way as he would learn q system of
shorthand. by special and exclusive ap-
plication thereto, would not thereby ac-
quire a knowledge of language in the
abstract. This latter knowledge is ac-
quired by study of the grammars of
many languages, especially those no
longer spoken. Or again, a knowledge of
abstract mathema tics is essential to one
branch of applied mathematics. If person
has been well educated, he can readily
master any special technical knowledge
he may find it needful to acquire. But a
person who has merely the technical
knowledge is limited, not only by ex-
cusion from other spheres, but even in
his own sphere.
The fact that subject in the curric-
ulum has no direct bearing upon any
particular calling that may be in pros
far hPipg objection
the study of that subject, may be a
positive Recommendation of it. For. as
we have said, a main object of educa-
tion is to endow the pupil with ex-
ira neous interests. additional resources
and rich and versatile mind. 1t is
therefore beside the point to argue tha,
Latin and Greek are not spoken and
that they can be of no use to an cleo
trician, a politician or musician. They
can be of the greatest use to the human
