There is a cohflict always going on in the field of education. There are | two schools of thought in educational | matters quite as marked as the two contending camps in theological mat- ters. The fundamental trouble with the reactionary in_ education is that he confuses the two things, education and literacy. Literacy is the learning of letters, the accumulation of facts, the acqui- sition of knowledge, the reading of books, the hearing of lectures and the ike. ! Education s the training of the mind to think. While literacy is of use toward edu- catlon, it is not education itself. Literacy is merely the possession of the tools of education. A man may be immensely literate, have a thousand facts stored in his brain, and yet have no skill to use them. On the contrary, a man may be very wise and most truly educated, and yet extremely illiterate. It is doubt- ful that Socrates or Buddha or Abr: ham Lincoln was in command of an extensive array of information, vet they were amazingly eflicient in the use of their minds. Many Chinese are very literate, yet possess little or no education. They have learned several thousand ideo- graphs, which is tantaméunt to know ing several thousand puzzles. This in no way equips them for the business of life, The system of education prevalent in Japan is tainted with the fallacy that the best educated man is the one who s familiar with the greatest number of facts. The student swamped with a number of subject: He must have a smattering of every thing. The result is he knows noth- ing very thoroughly. Everywhere this fallacy of literacy corrupts the idea of education. We are all proud of having read many books, rarely proud of the on thing we should be proud of, the thor- ough mastering of one subject. We.are like the fool who would im- agine himself to be a good farmer because he had purchased all sorts of rakes and hoes, plows and thresh- ing machines and every other kind of agricultural implements, not knowing how to use any of them. ‘A common illustration of this is the value we put upon the knowledge of | a foreign language. We think a man very clever when he speaks severai living tongues, and very learned when he understands several dead ones. As a matter of fact, he simply owns a lot of tools, and may or may not know how to use them to advantage. Sophistication is not wisdom. Mo of us rk ourselves up because w have seen many plays, read mar books, met many people and traveled in many countries. It is amusing to see the airs one gives himself simply because he has scen something. Many a traveler runs to and from upon the earth not to see and enjoy but for the pleasure he takes in s ing that he has seen. To be traveled is not to be expe- rienced, necessarily. The ‘trouble with most schools that they are swamped with tool Not enough atten s given to i proving the quality of the mind which | uses the tools. Reading may easily else than a bad habit. The acquirin of information is pleasing, and like ali | s to be guarded against become little and controlled. The mind is strengthened, the life | is empowered and the soul is enriched | the degree to which w issimilate knowledge, and not by the extent to which we swallow it 1 have known some very literat very learned men, some of whom were | intolerable bigots; und some of whom | were great fools, —_— GEORGE S.
