I answered "Greek ana mathe-j f matles.*' \\ He said it sounded like a silbr art j swer. -You are vri. the ad vcrtisingj j business What do Greek and math- . em at ics have to do with ariwrtis- J) >ug?" I Of course they have, nothing lo t do directly with advertising* 01 with j modern banking or the law, or any . of the other occpations l?y which li. might have chosen to earn u hying. i? Y et Greek and mathematics have j \ this one thing p common?each of! them -orripels the mind to attack u j j difficult problem and to think ilsji way through to a solution. That w , mental discipline; thai is develop- T nieut. in tbn same sense that hard!; iihv.sics! .?xercise dovelonc !hc? miis-l . clcs. That, in a icrgc degree, is edu-J ] cation. ! There is more false and fuzzy j thinking about education trail about < almost any other important .subject, { We have beer, in an age when the ; whole emphasis of school and college j has been placed on "learning things" c pit "practical training." on "giving a the boys and girls equipment foi daily life." r The result of this program, in many ? nstances, is not encouraging. Young x people graduate into life with a C mass of unassimiJated and more or less inaccurate facts, but with no real mental drill, and no philosophy. 1 In one of his finest passages far- 1 iinal Newman describes an educated n man as one who "has the repose of t mind which lives in itself, while it p ives in the world, and which has resources for its unhappiness at home v vhen it cannot go abroad. He has ? t Tift which serves him in public and t supports him in retirement, without n which good fortune is but vulgar, j! and With which failure and dinap- j: lointment have a charm " p And in another piace he defines c education as "the orenaration for v mow ledge." i If all educators eouhl agree upon i: hat definition, it would mean much t progress. Then we should :-av? colege graduates whose mimh are pre- e ;iared, father than graduate-; whose a minds are nu rely stuffed. i Too many graduates at present t tave plenty of knowledge but r.o cd- r icatron. f Sunday School Lesson ^ HKV.
