F1 DUCATION is the training
r which enables us to live and
III get most out of life," is the an
swer given to the question What Is
Education?" by DR.. Frank S. c..
| Wicks in the new number Of the In
| dianapolis Unitarian Bulletin.
While Sunday services have been
suspended during the month. of Au-
gust at the All Souls Unitarian
Church. DIR. Wicks publishes a few
sermon thoughts in the bulletin.
In discussing the subject, DR..
| Wicks continues:
1T brings to US the knowledge
which enables us to adjust ourselves
to the conditions of existence. Its
first question is What are the de
mands of life?" 1t adjusts itself to
those demands. The first demand of
life is for adjustment to physical con-
ditions. 1t insists upon a knowledge
of the human frame and all of its
functions, not emitting that function
by which a sound body may be trans
mitted to a new generation. At it's
| lowest it demands that man shall be
"A
means fatherhood and motherhood
Are we treating boys and girls as
potential parents? We answer with
blush and end with an averted
face.
THE second demand is for eco.
nomic adjustment. Man lives by
bread and he must be taught how TO
get bread. This means that educa-
ton has homely bread and butter
side. Every boy and girl should be
trained to some bread-winning occu-
patton.
! THE third demand is for social ad-
/ justment. We live in a world OF men.
and our safety, well-being and hap.
I piness depend upon our living har-
mCniously with cur fellows We must
be taught how to fit into the social
fabric. The fourth demand Of life is
for political adjustment. We are citi-
zens. We are called upon to take our
part in the government of great
country. If we bring intelligence and
character into It, 1t will prosper. But
If we bring ignorance and selfshness
and prejudice into it, we blight the
land. We must be taught how to
solve great problems inteIigently
THE fifth demand of life is for
spiritual adjustment We should get
from life the qualifications which
come from art, literature and music
We should get the strength ana in
SEPARATION which come from religion.
Man lives by bread. but not by
Il
beauty and song. and the rapturous
pursuit of truth. He lives by as
piration and worship! Education
should meet US here as it met JUS
with our primal wants.
Education begins with the utili.
ties; it ends with the graces; IL opens
upon culture. for it is culture that
makes life most satisfying, culture of
mind and soul is the real master OF
| the universe. To him, all lands
bring their tribute The sky is his
For him the birds sing; for him the
flowers bloom. Everything in the
universe brings him message, for
he is in tune with the universe. He
alone Is rich. He alone is king.
