EDUCATION

Education is not, as some suppose,
the process pouring knowledge into
empty heads. It is much more
wonderful and delicate affair. 1t is
the megic by which latent I'd tents are
discovered in the hands and heads
an hearts of people, and new powers
are called into being.
A baby is a bundle Of poss bilities.
A boy is a bunch Of tendencies. A
man is a more or less fixed set of
habits. Education is the tremfdous-
ly important, vital influence which,
between babyhood and manho@, de-
termines what possibilities shal be-
come cbilities and what tenfncies
shall become characteristics. Thi true
purpose Of education is to devepp to
their fullest extent the capacities of
every kind with which the God who
made us has endowed us.
Inc crack baseball player, ths ac-
complished musician, the eloquent Or
ator, the successful business man all
represent education. Each has gone
through long and thorough process
by which certain talents have been
highly developed. 1t is easy to see
that the beauty and usefulness md
perfection of life depend largely lp-
on education.
Physical education is essential. To
ignore the playground, the gym'a-
SUM, and the manuel training clas-
es is to handicap oneself with mre
OF less weak and clumsy body.

Of his customers, another for the eyes
os Cod and the approval Of his con-
science.
A story is told Of a Jananese car
yer Of worries who was asked: why
do you waste your time in carving
the under part which is never seen
You could work much quicker and
make money far more rapidly if you
were to leave that part plain" The
carver answered, "God who gave me
skill and taste, can see the under
part; | care not leave it uncarved.'
Such thoroughness is a real proof
of character. But sham or superficial
work reveals a tendency that is like
" to end in the collapse of character
Remember Ruskin's story of the
Doge's tomb in Venice. Upon it was
a famous recumbent statute, only
one-half Of which was visible from
the floor. But Ruskin, to study the
sculpture more closely, climbed up by
ladder. Let him tell the rest: "On
clearing away the dust, saw the
wretched effigy had only one hand
and was a mere block on the inner
side. The face, heavy and disagree
able in its features, is made mon
strous by its semisculpture. One side
of the forehead is wrinkled elaborate
Iy, the other left smooth; one side on
ly of the doge's cap is chased; one
cheek only is finished, and the other
blocked out and distorted besides; fl
nally, the ermine robe, which is elab-
orately initiated to its utmost lock Of
hair, on the one side is blocked out
only throughout the work that the
effigy was only to be seen from below
and from one side.
"But now, reader, comes the very
gist and point of the whole matter
This lying monument to a dishonored
doge, this eliminating pride Of the
Renaissance art of Venice is at least
veracious, if in nothing else, in its
testimony to the character Of its
sculptor. He was banished from
Venice for forgery in 1847."
Washington telegraph., 1921-03-25

The necessity of mental education
is so dinned into our ears that we
cannot ignore it. But sometimes we
miss the point of it. Some people who
have been to school a long time are
still ignorant enough to think that
education is acquiring knowledge" :"
Now knowledge is good thing, and
we cannot be educated without incl
dentally acquiring some Of it. But,
to be perfectly frank, most people
who have been out of school twenty
years have forgotten most of the
knowledge that they acquired in
school-and it is just as well that
they have. That does not mean that
they have lost their education. We
never expected to make any practical
use of some of these subjects when
we studied them. They were the
dumb bells, Indian clubs, and vault
ing bars that we used to develop
our mental powers. In later years
we may have lost the dumb-bells, but
that does not matter if we still re-
tain the mental vigor acquired by
their use. In Germany a preparatory
school is called a gymnasium. It is
a good name for it.
Whenever a student is working
on hard lesson, the lesson is also
working on him. When he has mas
tered it, it has crowned him with
new powers. For a pupil, therefore,
to dodge hard problems, or to rely
on another's work, is to defeat the
very object for which he goes to
school.

SHINING THE HEELS

81 shines peoples heels just as
good or better than l does their toes,
said a young bootblack to me the
other day as he piled the shining
rag. If he really does, and if he ap-
plies the same principle to all Of the
affairs of life he will be a noble man
who will be admired and honored.
The world is urgently in need OF men
and women of this quality. There
are all too many who shine the toes
of things and disregard the heels.
It is not only a question Of thor
ough workmanship. 1t is a question
of character. There is a radical diff
ference between the student who
studies to pass the quiz and the stu
dent who studies to master the sub
ject. One just polishes the toes of
the lesson, which he expects the
teacher to see. The other polishes
the heels as well, for his own sake.
There is the same difference in bus
mess. One man works for the eyes
