EDUCATED MAN.
From Mine immemorial a man
who has been to school has been
called educated, and one who has
been to college has been thought
lo be highly educated.
Education has been supposed to
begin when school life began a"d
lo end Willi school or college edu
cation. After that a new exist
ence began, called "life."
According lo I be modern idea,
education is lift', of which I be
school work is but a part. It be
gins with life; il is never finished.
It is a gradual change wrought
in the mind by the action of the
mind itself and can never cease.
The world of things ami of peo
ple is the chief means of educa
tion. The flowers, I he birds, the
changing of Ihe seasons, llie ex
periences of life and I lie people
we meet set at work Ihe powers
of (bought and feeling and will,
and by this work a man is edu
cated.
The necessities of life by sti'm
ulafing lo though! and exertion
educate. Because a man musl
have food and clothes and shel
ter he must think and plan and
work. Hand and eye and brain
are trained together. Therefore
the skilled artisan is an educated
man.
The unknown in nature sliiuu
lates son 10 men. To uncover »a
tures' secrets requires keen and
patient observation and a gei'ius
for hard work. Hence, discover
ers and inventors an* .'duelled
men.
Bui I tie jiiosI important part < »f
education conn's from intercourse
with people. From this side comes
the education in love and duty and
service.
The actions of people, stimu
late imitation and emulation. By
these men grow in power and
skill. From observation of the
character of people men form
ideals of character for themselves
and are transformed thei'eby.
Herein lies the consummate edu
cative power in Christ ianily--! he
transforming: power of Ihc Divine
Man.
According to lliis new idea, edu
cation is not merely receiviiij* but
g'fving: not learning: alone but do
ing". The educated man is open
eyed and open-minded, quick to
respond to influences from \vilh
out, learning from all his exper
iences and growing in power as
be grows in knowJedsre.
Fduealion is an individual mai
ler. No two men can lie educat
ed alike in manner or degree.
They respond to different influ
ences and grow in different \vays.
One becomes educated by wA.v of
schools and colleges and life, an
other by life alone. The incisure
of a man's education is the meas
ure of bis use in the world.—
Oeorge II. Martin.
