AT last I'm through" This was the
thought which came to me as / stood in
line to receive my diploma from the
university. But when tucked my
sheepskin away in its metal cylinder
and turned to face the world, 1 found
that my education had not ceased
was not through. New experiences
came to me and new knowledge
knowledge which 1 had not learned or
even knew to be in existence while in
the halls of learning.
This education in its broader and
larger aspects Is not limited to definite
subjects-reading writing, arithmetic,
geography, history and economics. This
education is an unlimited thing, It
I touches all me experiences of life. 1t

attitudes, our responses, our beliefs,
and our convictions.

They have put you in show case

But can't you hear the WIDTHS call
