Dr.. Rogers
mr. Rogers Is a forCeful speaker and
rms his subject well in hand, stating 1t
~ &c fun facts regardless OF tact or
feeling. He came out strong for Wo-
MANS suffrage and he denounced war
bitterly However. he declared that
should the country demand it every
man NJ American birth would give the
last drop Of his blood. His talk also
contained a powerful plea for better
young men and women with sugges-
,ion rs to how they should better them
selves
The object Of education he stated was
not a living but a life, Its object is not
getting and having but it is giving
away. help, service and life.
He said in brief:
Living or a Life Should education
he made one Of these? 1t is a long,
strong academic course, but if 1t is
not ones life it is not a living. Edu-
cation Is defined as power and as such
il is not getting and having, holding
and holding but giving.
The methods depend on the sub
Jet and in this l will say right now
that | heartily believe in vocational
training. Train for all sorts of work
and while at it train for the home
Why educate anyway? To get a liv-
Ing? No. for these very reasons:
First, self mastery. second. mastery
Of environment; third, service of ones
country; fourth, service of ones own
mind II is tremendous thing to real
ly live, but if done properly it is {.
wonderful thing"
