THE VALUE Ot- EDUCAIION.
Do We Place a Proper Estimate
Upon It and Seek to Acquire it
as We Should?
C. Louise Bell In Christian Work.
Our lives, without education.
are like rough, unhewn stones in
thequarry. Ouruul utored minds
are us unsightly blocks until the
polisher's Hkill brings out many
latent virtues and talents previ
ously buried from sight. Many
a delicate vein of color is thus
brought to light, many a beauty,
hitherto concealed, in this way
greets our view.
In a bygoue ace Aristotle de
al ired that a statue lay hidden
in every block of marble, and
that the art of sculpture serves
only to remove the superfluous
matter and to clear away the
rubbish; und thus.
"The more the marble wastes.
The more the statue grows."
The figure is in the stone, and
the sculptor only finds it. The
stone may appear to lie destitute
of beauty,but,as Michael Angelo!
exclaimed, upon finding in aj
lonely street of Florence a block
of marble half embedded in the,
mire, and beginning to dig about
it, all regardless of soiling his
holiday attire: "There's an
angel in it."
- *- -< - ? H _ t ? t-l J I
lesineacnoi our lives m Hid
den h figure unseen until educa
tion comes, and with many a
skilful touch gives form to that
which has no form, and bestows
rare polish upon the whole. Thus
the angel is freed, perfectly mol
ded and formed, and the varied
tints once imprisoned, are now
released to give a grace and
finish to all.
Another familiar metaphor is
frequently employed in describing
education. In all ages, the place
wherein learning abideshas been
represented as being situated
upon the summit of a hi h moun
tain, approachableonl v by rough
and dangerous roads, paths
guarded by savage monsters
threatening to devour, or at
times lined with bowers from
which float the songs of sirens
who endeavor to entice the trav
eler from the right way. In thic
ascent, labor, caution and faith
fulness are requisite, and a guide
necessary. Step by step, i he up
ward journey must be made until
the summit is gained.
None can afford to neglect
Learning, for she unlocks the close
barred door to innumerable
wonders and holds in her hands
the key to countless mysteries, i
Kducation guides the author's;
brush and the sculptor's chisel?i
teaches a sweeter and more
melodious rhyme to the poet and
wakens under the musician's
fingers harmonies of surpassing
beauty.
Let me close with these words
of Milton: "1 will point you out
the right path of a virtuous and
noble education ? laborious in
deed at first ascent, but else so
smooth and green and full of
goodly prosp >cts and melodious
sounds on every side that the
harp of Orpheus is not more
charming."
