Dr. Eugene Clyde Brooks, President
of North Carolina State College, de
livered a most forceful and Impressive
address at the Graduating Exercises
of Loulsburg s College, held In the
Methodist Church on Wednesday, at 10
o'clock. Dr. Brooks said that for
thirty years his theme had been "Edu
cation", but that today he would speak
particularly on "The Growing Life", a
phase of Education. First, Dr. Brooks
challenged those who are doubtful as
to the value of an education to study
a irishman, Just entering college;
then to notice carefully the difference
between that freshman, and the sen
ior who appears several years hence
to take his place in the world. Edu
cation means that one must grow.
Men, women, and children, every
where, said the speaker, are concern
id with growing life, not only in the
human, but in the plant and animal
world as well. All our goeslp either
helps or hinders life; all scientific
discoveries are of use only as they
sustain life. Schools are not what
they were, he said, nor should they
be, if they Intend to contribute to a
growing, living world.
Dr. Brooks said that there were
three signs by which he could tell an
educated person from an uneducated
person, and by "educated" he did not
Piean merely learned lq'booka These
three signs as he darned them are:
first, improvement of personality;
recond, development of belief; third,
the broadening of the service one is
capable of rendering.
Illustrating the first sign, Dr.
Brooks revisited the fife history of a
pine tree which weathered the wintry
blasts and storms, tbfether with other
rivere misfortunes,, and lived through,
a thousand years, at the end of which
?Jime scientists fotlnd that the tree
was still growing. If was the re
turning life in this story that attract
ed Dr. Brook's attention, and the fact
thef couhtless others around this tree,
subject to the same environment, had
dropped by the wayside. Dr. Brooks
rointed ont the close resemblance be
tween the life history of this tree, and
that of any person who has stood the
tests of life, showing the advantages
of the influence of education on the
lire.
Belief, said he. In going to the. sec
end sign, is the soul around which
the philosophy of life Is built. Cer
tainly all people are conscious of a
super-human power, gliding the pro
gress of the world. This point shows
the Influence that ones training has
on his belief and that which his be
lief has on his life.
To illustrate the last sign, broaden
ing service. Dr. Brooks reviewed the
story of the book, " San Luis Rey",
ending with the conclusion that the
greatest bridge which spans the space
between life and death Is that of love
and good will.
Dr. Brooks was Introduced to the
audience by Dr. C. C. Alexander,
President of Lonlsburg College, who
related the facts that, as a great edu
cator, Dr. Brooks, after being con
nected with Trinity College far a
number of rears, was for five years'
State Superintendent of Public In-'
struct Ion, and for the past seven
years has been President of North
Carolina State College.
