EDUCATION The following themes oh .Education "were written by tha ' Seventh Grade students of the Perquimans Consoli dated Schools. , EPUCATION ."' 'What is education? " Education i the development and cultivation of the mindr other natural powers, and, ."the result of educating. There are ' '. many , lorms oi eaucauon, among which is the moral education, which " ia a person's character, pnysicai, 1 which is their strength, and mental, - .which . is one's, knowledge. Educa , 1 tion begins in the nursery, and goes 'on at school, but does not end there.' It continues through life, whether we ' realize It or not Lois AsbelL n'-. ; ' , Education is the training ', of the -' mind making it possible to -; attack 1 any job or hardship in life. One has to be physically, intellectually ; and ' morally trained before he can go out , in life and - expect " to make - 'good. ' - There is school education and common , sense. .There, is ' kindergarten . for , children who want to make good pri- mary students; : Then , comes i gram - mar, high school ana college. If -you 'have common sense and a good edu cation and hum now o- use them to gether, you nave a batter show than a . lazy student that f goef t scheol be cause his parents roakrhim, never passes a grade and stops school when ; he is old enough Robert Morgan. , ; : The aim of the Institutions of edu ; cation should, be to train the children "' and youth of our land for right living, i If America " keeps her position of , 1 leadership as a great nation she must train her future citizens, the boys and girls of today, morally, spirit ually and mentally, for the boys and rirls of todry v-' I te tt T.en and " women-of to...or. v.' T-.'. .atlon and t'ni-r of our youh doterminel r we are headed for destruc- ,t.;..ke in Lis heart ia he." Y,I this truth in mind let us seek to edu cate and train oar children to high er, more noble plane of livings Maxine HarrelL ' ;,-' " Aa educatioa ' system falls' into four- grand divisions. The aim of education is to develop .. the powers of the body and the mind. Vaca tion begins at birth and , goes with you through all your life. It also helps the safety and welfare, of our country. We must not forget, , that, I besides the school, there are more than four score different types of child welfare organisations that are educational, dealing with health, ecu nation, religion and all the vest I think education is -the most im portant simcle item in a successful life because of these reasons: It de- velopea the mind, it helps a person get a position, it helps In social life. it also adds to your y enjoyment or leisure time. My first point is that the people who write and speak ; good English have advantages over any other ap plicant. In social life people with an educ tion are more pleasing companions, and are usually judged by their talk and their ideas. , - He who has an education can .find pleasure in. a good book, " with any arreat masterpiece, music of , litera ture. ; .' ' , ; Truly what education Is to a hu man beuur ia what polishing ia to a diamond.-Agnes Moore.. . . Education ' is the knowledge and ability gained through a course of training.' It is one of the greatest necessities' needed for human life. If we young people fail to get an educa tion we lose the greatest opportunity of our life. The person who has an education can. get . a position much better than the person who hasn't any. No person can make asuccesa in life without an education. We need it in every walk of life. : Education , has enriched the world. Leesie Stall- HlgS. ' ., CHAPANOKE NEWS George Alexander was a business visitor in Hertford Saturday morn ing. Mrs. J. P.
