world education Of the right kind Is
the force that shall curb this mad
race of the world for fiighty enter

The world needs to be educated
away from the idea that the advant-
age of education can only be express
ed in the dollars and cents mark
There is place for the consideration
of the financial and practical gains
from an education, but it should not
be stressed until it becomes the pri-
mary impulse in the desire for an
education.
1t is useless to talk of the benefits
Of education in this day and time.
They are too well known and axio-
matte to be discussed. But we need
to begin anew to stress the aesthetic
and cultural side, not only for the
the great mass of people. When we
make education a means to the end
Of merely acquiring wealth and fnan
cial power. we subvert its true pur-
pose. Incidentally it will help a
mans finances, but only incidentally.
The true purpose of education is
to cherish and unfold the seed of
Immortality already sown within us,
to develop, to their fullest extent, the
capacities of every kind with which
the God who made us has endowed

manifest itself only in the lives of an
exclusive class. the professional? Or
is it not purpose that should be in
