Culture And Knowledge

Cowpcfs pedestrian style is little relished by readers of poetry nowadays, but he achieved a tour dc force in the lines, quoted in today's Poet's Comer, in which he distinguishes between know-

J ledge and wisdom. Perhaps it was this assagc which Professor H. W. Swift, of Shefflc d Uni- versity, had in mind when he spoke recently on the difference between culture and knowledge. The subject is one which goes to the roof of all

,,, our educational problems. I-lerc is the result of the Sheffield professor's cogitations:

A cultured man, in the simplest etymological‘ misc, is a man who has put some work into the garden 0f his mind and raised from it a harvest

- of varied knowledge. But the process is in practice not quite so simple as this metaphor

i UIlPliCS. A man's crop of knowledge will not be

',' of much use to him, except for purely specialized

'., purposes, unless he is able to absorb and digest

_ it, so that it ceases to be a mass of raw facts and comes to be fruitfully related to his life and character.

We do meet sometimes the type of scholar who has amassed a great deal 0f cultural knowledge and yet does not give us the impression of a cul- tured man, for his knowledge becomes active only when he is alone in his study, and nothing much flows from it of benefit to others, except perhaps through the printed word.

Knowledge, indeed, always has to be in a cer- tain scnsc forgotten before it can re-emerge in a livingly creativeform. We first acquire labor- iously some new capability, mental or physical, and only when its practice has become largely in-

l stinctive are we really its master_ Then we have if. 8S the phrase goes, ‘at our finger-tips,‘ and can exercise it fluently, with very little conscious effort. _ _ y ,

The mistrust of book learning prevalent among craftsmen, and other persons who have become skillful in some field of activity by patient prac- tice, arises largely front a feeling that such learn- ing often stays in the mind and fails to reach the fingers.

'l‘herc arc persons without book learning who in a narrower sense are cultured; they are sure of themselves in all matters relating to their daily work and have made their performance of it a satisfying art.

We ought, nevertheless, to keep a distinction between this kind of culture and the culture of the rnind,,only remembering that mental culture will remain largely sterile unless it finds a chan- nel of expression to enrich the personal relation- ship: of daily life. i r
