HOW TO STUDY

"For the end of education and training is to help nature to her
perfection in the complete development of all the various
powers."--_Richard Mulcaster_, 1522-1611.

Education is an opportunity, nothing more. It will not guarantee
success, or happiness, or contentment, or riches. Everything depends
upon what development is produced by it and what use is made of it. It
does not mean morality or usefulness. It may make a man more capable
of doing harm in the world, for an educated scoundrel is clearly more
dangerous than an ignorant one. Properly employed, however, and
combined with high character, with a due regard for the rights of
others, and with simple and practicable but high ideals, it should help
a man very greatly in making himself of service in the world and so in
making his life really successful in the highest sense. What the
student gets out of his education depends largely upon what he puts
into it. The student is not an empty vessel to be pumped full of
learning; he is a complex machine which education should help to run
properly.

The aim of education is purely utilitarian, and is expressed more
clearly by the word power than by any other. Its object is to give the
man power to meet the problems of life, and to develop all his
faculties to the greatest degree. The word "utilitarian," however, is
to be interpreted in its broadest sense. It is not simply
bread-and-butter utility that is aimed at. Whatever makes a man more
capable of legitimate enjoyment, or helps to make him contented and
happy, or to enlarge his breadth of view, is really useful and helps to
give him power. "The true order of learning should be first, what is
necessary; second, what is useful; and third, what is ornamental. To
reverse this arrangement is like beginning to build at the top of the
edifice."

The only way that power and strength can be developed
