PILOT REFLECTIONS

Gospel of St. Matthew, 25th chapter,
verses IA to %:
IA For the kingdom of heaven is as
a man travelling into far country,
who called his servants and delivered
unto them his goods.
Is And unto one he gave five talents,
to another two and to another one; to
every man according to his several
ability and straightway took his
journey.
16 Then he that had received the five
talents went and traded with the same
and made them other five talents.
II And likewise he that had received
two, he had also gained other two
Is But he that had received one
went and digged in the earth and hid
his lords money
10 After a long time the lord of
those servants cometh and reckoneth
with them.
20 And so he that had received five
talents came and brought other five
talents saying Lord thou deliveredest
unto me five talents: behold I have
gained beside them five talents more.
81 His lord said unto him well thou
good and faithful servant: thou hast
been faithful over a few things 1 will
make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
90 He also that had received two
talents came and said, Lord, thou de-
| liveredst- unto me talents l have
gained other two talents beside them.
| 23 His lord said unto him, Well done
good and faithful servant thou has
been faithful over few things, I will
make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
| "a Then he that received the one
! talent came and said Lord know
thee that thou art hard man, reaping
where thou has not sown, and gather
| ing where thou strewed;
rs And I was afraid, and went and
hid they talent in the earth; 10, there
thou hast that is thine.
| 26 His lord answered and said unto
him, Thou wicked and slothful servant,
thou knewest that 1 reap where / SOW
ed not and gathered where I have not
| strewed
% Thou eughtest therefore to have
put my money to the exchangers and
then at my coming l should have re-
ceived mine own with usury.
rs Take therefore the talent from
him and give II unto him which hath
ten talents

STRESSES LAST so YEARS

More than this, and breaking
precedent once more, 1 do not in
tend to commence any sentence with
these words-'If George Washing
ton had been alive today or If
Thomas Jefferson had been alive to-
day or If Alexander Hamilton had
been alive today or If Abraham
Lincoln had been alive today-be-
yond peradventure of doubt he
would have opposed-or, perhaps,
favored-etc., ETC.
Suffice it, therefore, to say what
President Washington pointed out
on many occasions and in many
practical ways that a broad and
cosmopolitan education in every
stratum of society is a necessary
factor in any free nation governed
through democratic system Strides
toward this fundamental objective
we're great in the two or three
earlier generations of the republic,
but you and I we'll realize that the
greatest development of general
education has occurred in the past
half century.
LAS literacy increases people be-
come aware of the fact that govern
ment and society form essentially a
cooperative relationship among
citizens and the selected representa-
tives of those citizens.
when we speak of modern
progress it seems to me that we
place altogether too much emphasis
upon progress in material things
in invention, in industrial develop
ment, in growth of national wealth.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 22.-The
text of President Roosevelt's Tenn
pie University speech today:
81 have just had bestowed upon
me a twofold honor. I am hon.
ored in having been made an alum
nus of Temple University; and I
am honored in having had con-
ferred upon me for the first time
the degree of doctor of jurispru-
dence.
1T is happy coincidence that
we should meet together to pay our
respects to the cause o Education
on the birthday of the father of
this nation. In his wise and kindly
way George washington deeply ap-
preciated the Importance of educa-
ton. in a republic and the respon-
sibility of the government to pro-
mote it. Let this simple statement
stand by itself without the proof
of quotation. I say this lest, if I
quoted excerpts from the somewhat
voluminous writings and messages of
the first President of the United
States, some captious critic might
search the Library of Congress to
prove by other quotations that
George Washington was in favor of
just the opposite Therefore, on
this anniversary of his birth I pro-
pose to break a century-old prece-
dent. I shall not quote from
George Washington on his birthday.

s4OO,oOo,ooO TO SCHOOLS

Il shall watch with the keenest
interest the working out of the
plan recently adopted by Temple
for carrying even further into prac-
tical application this guiding ideal.
I refer to the plan for forming an
organization to be known as the
Associates of Temple University.
and to be composed of representa-
tives of the various commercial,
industrial, financial and profess
sional interests of the community
outside the university's walls.
"AS understand it, this organi-
cation will be far more than a mere
advisory body, set up to meet on
special and infrequent occasions and
to draft recommendation of a gen.
eral character. The Associates of
Temple University will be an inte-
grail and organic pact of the univer-
sity's structure; the individual as
sociates will have clearly defined
duties and responsibilities, which
they will carry out according 70 a
definite routine, and their purpose
will be to serve as the eyes and
ears of the university throughout
the community, constantly alert to
the changing social and economic
needs, and continuously Interpreting
these needs to the university.
