always tell us what is also true that
these same men not infrequently give
largely that other boys may have the
chances they did not have. If you
are not a better man, better citizen
in the community, better member of
society because of your having your
mind broadened, it may well be asked
if it was worth while to educate you
after all, and if in short you are worth
educating
We are here to learn, not mere facts,
not the sort of things we can find out
in an encyclopaedia, but to learn to
live to be useful, to take our share.
The first step toward this is to be able
to see things as they are, not as they
may seem but as they are, and to look
life squarely in the face. The doctor
before he can set about curing the
patient must discover what is the mat
ter and this simple rule i'll medicine
has unfortunately been overlooked i'll
life too often and we have set out to
perform cures when we did not know
well enough what was the trouble, SO
we try to see things as they are. There
comes in the discipline of the class
room, which results in mastery in the
realm of observation.
But it is not an end i'll itself. We
see things as they are, not merely to
report on them, but to better them,
After winning laurels in other fields,
Mr.. H. G.. Wells has turned his rather
powers of observation and
expression on the subject of education.
The result was his book Joan and
Peter" 1t entities Mr.. Wells to be
heard. So hear what he says, not in
that book but in another. He IS speak
ing of this very art of telling what we
see that we call realism, in literature,
He says, Personally | have no use at
all for life as it is, except as raw ma
terial. 1t bores me to look al things
unless there is also the idea OF doing
with them. l should find a
holiday doing nothing amid beautiful
scenery, not a holiday but a torture.
In the books | have written it IS al
ways about life being altered | write
Or about people developing schemes for
altering life and | have never once
presented life" Mr.. Wells is right
and the aim of college is not alone to
see how things are. but how also they
might be. Not to study conditions as
an end in themselves but to study con
lions that we may have our share i'll
rghting them. No nation ever devot
ID SO much care to the students as
china But this Game to nothing for
ler whole policy was to change nothing
md her study did not look out to max
ng the world better, but to keeping it |
he same.
We are to see things as they are then
II order to see how they may be We |
onsider the present that we may make
