The World our
University,

We should never forget the very
plain fact that education does not
consist merely in the knowledge
gained from textbooks, but that
we obtain our education from growth
and development from experience
lin life. Tie world IS ours If we
can appropriate it aud no school
curriculum can furnish all the
childs necessary education unless
that curriculum contains the things
that touch tie real life of the chliq
at its every angle. AN work ana
no play makes Jack dull boy and
Jill dull girl" has more OF TRUTH
liz it than we might at first suspect,
for play has an educational value
which we cannot afford to ignore.
We are spending thousands OF dol
lars in our cities for play ground
apparatus for schools and parks
where the nature interests OF our
children may have full sway III play
and diversion from the routine o.
school tasks. This is as it should
be. Again, oar school life and
work a.dav life should be correlated.
We often look in amazement upon
the sad spectacle brought to our
notice when some Of our young.
college graduates enter upon real
life for which they have been so
iuadequately equipped in our col
leges. What is wrong with the
curricuIa of some of our colleges
when boy graduating from many
of them receives such a jar when
he tries to fit into the real work OF
life? There is and can be but one
answer to this question and that IS
that our colleges as a rule do not
educate for self-support and real
service. Our government, state and,
owes it to our boys ane.
girls that they be taught how to
make living This debt is the
6rst that.sholid he paid to Thela
for it is Of first Importance to them
that are to DO the worlds work.
We do not deny that culture is al
right, but that system OF education
that would exalt men and wome
to that higher social plane to ae
served rather than to give service to
the world is wrong and all out OF
tune with our economic and indus
trial needs. True culture consists
in finding ourselves and then to set
ourselves doggedly to the task OF
training ourselves to 90 that work
well-there all the honor lies.
