Thoughts For Our Time

By His Eminence Cardinal McGuigoii _

The return of school days reminds us once again of the talks and trials with which education is confronted today. There is no doubt that the present crisis in civilization and the conditions of the present world impose upon education today tasks which are manifold and momentfilll. But what is this education which we speak of?

1t we were to start looking for the most misunderstood word in our language we would be hard put to it to discover one that is more misunderstood than the term MZdUCJlIOH.“ We are so prone to think of education exclusively in "rm; of school. This is a funda- ptcnial misconception. There could b, education, indeed there has hm. education, when and where m", have been no schools at all.

One of the notions of which we he, tn rid ourselves is that edu- ration is concerned only with book- iearnlng. Tlicre is a much broad- " moaning of the term that we mus, not lose sight of. Education i, concerned with every process gihaisricvcr by means of which pian is shaped and led toward fulfillment, and not alone with the "racial tasks of schools and uni- 7UTSlii0S. Schools are only 0119 0! the agencies, and not even the mos, important one, in the 91'0- cess of education. There are thins! which schools cannot Rive f0 R msn, (horr- are facets of his per- sonality which‘ schuolsfias such. m ._.. no position to develop.

Education, moreover, is not I1 when“ which is limited only to a rerlclm pcriod of our lives. The old adage "live and learn" means m“, the process of learning and development is melons.

There are influences exerted either con- rtioiisly or unconsciously in the ‘home which the school can never ‘supply and for the lack of which ii can never compensate.

nessf They should learn them In the home. The heme is the first agency in ilenerally speaking, if it does not fulfill its educational function it will never be fulfilled. The school is but the continuator of a process begun already. It should not have to begin things when its purpose is that of continuation.

It is ironicai to speak of the hiBh degree of present-day educa- tion when we see the disintegra- tion of the family, the initiator of the process. In the absence of the family's positive contribution to the formation of'a man one feels inclined to believe that to some extent school education is some- thing superficial, an ornament which does not reach to the roots of the human personality,

There is. moreover, a_ great deal that non-scholastic society other than the family contributes to our formation. The sense of duty, the d velopment of pIUdCIICQ, social- mindedness and so forth can be perfected only in a much broader context and in a wider atmos- phere than either the home or the school. Public life or society nec- essarily becomes an agency in our formation, our education. Our work, our business, the host of non-familiar social relationships in which we engage and our attitude toward them‘ and the opportuni- ties which they give us for de- velopment and expansion inevitably leave their mark for good or iii upon us, In that atmosphere we either grow or perish, We become educated or deformed.

Holiness Is For All

Last, but not least. there is the function of the church in educa- tion. No man has ' reached the perfection of manhood who is not holy. The practice of holiness is not for the few, i: is for all. Man remains deformed if he is not holy. He ,is not properly educated. In fact he has missed out o'n the most important part of education. The greatest men .in the world. the ones who actually do the most for the world, are not the politici- ans, the manufacturers or the ath- letes. Thcy are the saints. This facet of education is almpst un- known today. We educate men to live with other men. We fail l0 educate them to live with God and in this failure we make it imp“-

sible to live at Peace with each other. The tragic position that ti"!

school finds itself in today is that it is trying to ilo everything. i0 take the place of the family, to serve as a social workshop and to substitute for the church. The task is truly impossible. If edu- cation ls not soins to be I 1"" then parents mi-llt Ilium?

Thll is the direction ‘n which we seem m be tending, We are far more totalitarian than we know or like to admit, in our great enthusiasm for freedom and liberty WE will find that we have lost them.

SCHOOL BOARD —- The re- gular monthly meeting of the City School Board was held yes- terday afternoon with Dr. R, G. Lea presiding. it was ieported that the Domestic Science Kitchen in West Kent School was almost ready for use, but that some de- lay had been caused in securing some electrical and other ne- cessities. lt is hoped to secure the services of a qualified teacher to take charge of ssrne when ready. The thanks of the Board were extended to Miss Anderson, Miss Fullerton and Miss Prowse for their advice and assistance ‘in arrangements for the kitchen. It was decided with reluctance that it would be necessary to expend considerable money to fit up an- other semi-basement .room in Prince Street School, but ss there are over seventy grade one pupils and one classroom at present for them. the additional room is absolutely necessary. Considerable routine business was transacted.

Religion

Here is one of the key-truths of Scripture - for any person to fall short of the full development of his powers and to fail to give the world the best service of which he is capable is to violate a sacred trust. He refuses to fulfil God's purpose in him and he denies his world the good which his people are entitled to receive from him.

My obligation to the Giver of all goods, is to use every gift which He has entrusted to me in the in- terests of His people, God's gifts include my .taients, opportunities. advantages, including education, and all the other privileges with which He starts me out in life. These are not handed over to me to be used for myself alone: they are entrusted to me lo be used in the interests of the people whom He has called rne to serve. l am, therefore, in duty bound to culti- vate my abilities to the highest and to make the best use possible of the resources which He has placed either in my hands or at the command of my faith. All that I have, I owe.. The inspired word is, “According as each man has received a gift even do minister the same to others, as good ste- wards of the manifold grace of God." (I Peter 4.10).

There is a story of the closing days of the prophet Elisha which illustrates God's will for the in- dividual. A report reached young king Joash that the old prophet was dying, and he rushed to Eiishas bedside in n grief border- ing on panic. He cannot see how he can bring the nation through the perils surrounding her when the man of God, who has been her
