THE EDUCATION THAT EDUCATES
ITS PROCESS AND ITS GOAL
AS 13 SEEN IN "SSUS CHRIST
Thoughts From the Baccaulaureate Ser
mon Before the South Georgia
College, Mcßae, Recently.
By Elam F. Dempsey.
Text: Luke 2:. r >2.
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and
in stature, and in favor with God and
man. ’ ’
In these words, we have the true ideal
of education, its process and its goal, as
illustrated in Jesus Christ, the one nor
mal man that has appeared in the his
tory of the race. In them we see the
goal to lie attained and the infallible
process which it may he reached.
I.
Puzzle himself as lie may, over the
mysteries of the earthly destiny, man
may safely reach the conclusion that
the divine purpose in it is his develop
ment. He is born a shapeless mass of
possibilities. His business is not so
much to lie as to become something.
This process of becoming is what we
call education. It may be upward, or
il may be downward, it may ia* true or
it may be false, but of this we can be
sure, it will not rise higher than its
ideal.
Growth is our privilege. Tt is also
our duty. A babe is an interesting oh- j
jert, but one remains a babe always
thereby becomes one of the earth’s
mosl piteous and disappointing specta
cles. God seems to have arranged the
universe—this matrix of personality—l
so that not only does it nourish us, but
it prods, .pummels and drives us intoj
I lie development of such powers as wo
may pns.se.sH. Surrounded as he is by
the natural world, tlie great human
world, willi heaven and angels over
head, and hell jtnd demons beneath man
finds, in obedience to the one and in
struggle against the other, the double
source of tiis discipline, while passing
through this strange realm of time. We
are put here to grow. Society aids 11s
in the correct initiation of this great
undertaking by the organization of the
school.
11.
What first attracts us in this text,
as pointing to the true ideal of educa
tion, is its suggestion first of personal
perfection.
This personal perfection is found to
be described in two terms, “wisdom
and stature.” In other words, individ
mil excellence readies its height in a
perfectly developed body, mind and
spirit. Huch education may be defined
in the words of Dr. Stephen Olin, “as
the adequate discipline and symmetri
cal development of ail the faculties of
man.''
First—Let us consider the physical de
velopment. The body is just as much
an essential part of us as the mind or
the spirit. The human personality can
not be conceived without a place for
body, mind and spirit, all and each in
it. Otherwise you may have a mutilat
ed something, but it is not humanity.
As before remarked, t'hrist is the one
normal human being, and in Him, we
see that not only the body had a place
in Him while He was on earth, but
that body lias been carried away into
heaven, it lias become immortal, and
shall there abide forever. This is typi
cal of ii'- what happened to Him will
happen to us. Furt lieruiore, we are as
sured of some essential relation be
tween this physical body and the spiv
itual body with which we shall be
clothed upon in the resurrection. Fur
ther still, there seems to be an impera
tive craving of every spirit in earth,
and even of every spiritual impulse, to
find for itself some adequate embodi
meat.
Prom these general principles, us well
as from the plain indication of the text
we gather that it is an irrefutable posi
tion that no ideal of education is true
that omits a proper consideration of the
training of the body.
Second—lndividual perfection is fur
ther found in the proper development
of the intellectual and spiritual ele
ments of one’s nature. These, we take
it, are included in the word wisdom.
The major factors of these elements
within us are the will, the conscience,
the sensibilities and the intellect.
Let ns conceive, if we can. of one iu
whom all of these are found, each in
large volume, and properly subordinat
ed to the rest. In other words, let us
tliiuk of one iu whom the elements so
mix that nature may stand up and say
to all the world. ‘‘This is a man!” Iu
such a one. reason and conscience rule
the will, which in turn governs feeling,
fancy and impulse.
Well proportioned, full orbed man
hood, be stands before us. a perfect in
dividual, charming as a Greek statute,
and save for the delight of the aesthet
ic sense, as useless. Such a one merits
Tennyson's scornful words, “Faulty,
faultless, speudily null.” He has at-
stops the channel of cash trade
it quietly turns somewhere else.
It is the dull season when the
local merchant surrenders that
the mail order houses get in
their most effective work.—
Moultrie Observer.
VARIETY FARMING BETTER.
The day of the ail-cotton farmer in the South h passing,
not because cotton is not a good crop, but that a planter
should not risk his next year’s sustenance on a single crop,
when a variety would grow just as well and in the long run
would be more profitable.
It combines an important economic principle, that risking
the necessities ol life is harmful. All farming is a form of
speculation, involving many risks, gains and losses which
either may lower one to poverty or enrich him. If the
average farmer raises a “bumper” cotton crop and makes a
splendid profit lie lives with bounty and luxury which of
course is really harmful to him; but if las crop fails he lives
for the next year on practically nothing, doing without the
important necessaries of life. What is the remedy lor such
a condition? It is to plant a variety, corn, grain and fruit
as well as cotton. Also in stock raising. It is noticed that
in the latter case the possession of the actual necessities of
life aud its luxuries does not depend on one crop, but on all.
What is the ratio between the simultaneous failure of the
corn, grain and the variety with cotton alone ? If the cotton
crop fails the one-crop man is helpless, but if it fails for the
variety man, his corn, grain and stock ought to be amply
able to support his family.
tabled this individual perfection by
receiving a constant ministry. This
hint of selfishness is tlie canker and the
worm at the heart of t His beautiful
blossom from humanity’s garden. If
lie go not to the next step indicated in
our text, he will earn for himself the
scathing denunciation in the poet’s
lines.
“That man may last, but never lives,
Who much receives and nothing gives,
Whom none can love and none can
thunk,
breatiou’s blot, Creation's blank.”
111.
As has just been said, the true ideal
of education must carry a man beyond
this individual perfection to something
more. That something more is plainly
declared in the words, “He increased
in favor with God and man.” This
si ts forth that in order to an adequate
development, man must add to his in
dividual perfection, a perfection in his
relationships. He was not made to be
alone. He stands surrounded by rela
tionships on every hand, lie is related
to God, to his fellow man, to the evil
world beneath. Until he has found
how to adjust himself correctly in all
of these directions, be lie what he may,
he is not yet an educated man.
Until he is a perfect social being, as
"•ell as a perfect individual being, he
has Hot attained that goal which is indi
cated in Jesus Christ, who is the per
fect type of wliat every man is,design
ed to become, and what, by His redemp
tive processes, He has made it possible
for every man to become.
There is no place for enmity, hatred
and alienation in this phase of his com
plex nature. We find here that the true
development in this direction is toward
favor and good will from both God
and man.
First—lt is significant that favor
with God is mentioned in the first place.
This is not accidental, for, until man
reaches his right adjustment with God,
lie cannot possibly come into a right ad
justment with any other being. Plain
history of the sad confusion in his re
lationships, which can he observed on
every hand, sets forth that all this dis
aster began with the break in his re
' lationship with God.
At once we see that religious educa
tion is hereby allirtned and secular edu
cation is hereby condemned. The edu
cation that is not religious is not right.
1 call your attention to the fact that I
am discriminating secular education
from religious education. 1 have said
'no word about state education, or the
!''hurch education, or private school ed
i Mention. Any or all of these may be
come secular. Any or all of them may
Ibo. and should be. religious.
■second —True ideal of education fur
ther includes such a training as tits this
m'r footed individual who stands now iu
right relationship with God, to live a’c
eeptablv with his fellow man. Each
man exists for all other men. He him
self is ministered unto the end that
he. in turn, may more effectively min
istcr unto others.

GOV. SLATON URGES
PAYMENT OF TEACHERS
The address of Governor John
M. Slaton to the weekly press
association, declaring' that the
honor and honesty of the state
were involved in its failure to
pay the school teachers, has
proven to be seed sown on fer
tile ground.
During the past week “from
Tybee to Rabun Gap” as the
saying goes, such a demand has
gone up from the sanctums of
Georgia’s country newspaper
editors as has never been heard
before, demanding that before
it adjourn the legislature make
provision to pay the school
teachers without further delay
and to pay them when their pay
falls due in the future.
Seldom is such a unanimity of
sentiment aroused on any sub
ject in Georgia. Leading week
lies and semi-weeklies have call
ed upon the representatives of
their counties in the legislature
to work for some remedy.
“Whatever else you do, pay the
teachers,” is the burden of their
demand.
In his speech, Governor Sla
ton said to the weekly editors,
“To you do I appeal, more pow
erful bv far than the warriors
of ancient days, to lend your
aid.”
A glance over the editorial
columns of the Georgia papers
duffing the past week shows how
magnificently they have respon
ded.
REMOVE DUTY ON MEAT.
The removal of the duty on
meats has become an economic
necessity. The supply here is
getting so scant and so high
priced that contributions from
the surplus of other countries
would be welcomed. Our popu
lation is growing at the rate of
about 20 per cent a decade, but
our stock of food animals is de
clining. The department of ag
riculture estimates that in the
last six years the number of
beef cattle in the United States
has fallen from 51,566,000 to
36.000,000. Protective duties
and a steady increase in values
have not stopped the decline, be
cause the conditions under which
cattle were raised cheaply and
freely on western ranges have
passed away. The United States
will have to make the most of
the resources of countries like
Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay
and Australia, where the coun
try is still open. Anything that
the government can do to turn
these resources our way will be
appreciated. It is, therefore,
exceptionally pleasing to note
that the department of agricul
ture has sent agents to Argen
tina and Australia to report up
on the facilities there for fur
nishing this country with the
much-needed fresh meat, thus
showing its appreciation of a
new opportunity for its useful
ness.—lVas h big to n He rald.
Slowing Down.
The .train that comes into TickTille
every week will soon begin to run

What thi Exchanges
have to Say
For the same reason that
there should be a board of tax
equalization in each county,
there should be also a central
board for the state as a whole.
If a county board is necessary
to assure just and uniform pay
ment of taxes by individuals,
then certainly a state board is
necessary to assure an equable
return of taxes by counties.
There must be equality of taxa
tion among communities as well
as among citizens. —Atlanta
