ties to obedience and precision, to acquire sound and independent judgment, to form acquaintances with men of parts and in~ finance all over the world in the past and present, it is still more important to learn to serve the World to the best of one’s powers. The first considerations just enum— erated may he called personal advantages and they will enable the individual to get to the top and hold some advantage over his fellowman in the battle of life. The ability to servo one’s fellowman is what counts. It is very important to be able to make one-’5 living in this competitive age and “keep off relief” as the saying is; but it is far more important to be able to help the other fellow.
The “medicine man” has no place in modem civilized society, When sickness and disease invade the home, we do not call the quack, the “knihbler,” or the herb doc- tor. We insist on having a trained and ex- perienced practitioner, properly graduated from a retognjzed university. He then mirh isters to the body, that mould of clay that will one day “return to dust.” How much more vital then that the men we called in t) minister to the minds of our children be well trained, likewise college trained and graduated, that they be men of grace and Chiist-like vision and forebearance‘.
They minister to the undying souls that will one day return to God “from whence they come trailing clouds of glory.” Preceding generations have made this world a'bet’ter place in which to live. They built schools and colleges. The: education a man gets in college is largely given him as a present. He pays certain fees, to be sure, and he buys hooks and food, and clothing, but the college was built before he was born, and by men who wanted to see a better world. If it Were not so, there would be no schools to which he could go. we owe a debt to proceeding generations for the service rendered us. We can pay this debt only by likewise serving others. The World is not finished yet, and he who would take all the advantages which have been Irovided' by those who have gone ban fore, but will add nothing himself to the world’s stock—that men is, not fit to re. ceive the heritage—he is not; fit to go to oollege. If he- presents himself, he should not be admitted. And if he be admitted, he should be kicked out the moment it is dis- covered that he intends to absorb every.— thing possible to himself and give: nothing in return. We are not training the few that they may stand on the heads and shoulders of the masses to their exploitation. Society trains the few talented to serve the many.
