THE MEASURE OF EDUCATION
Education without humanitarian ideals is like a foreign
traveler without a guide, for, education needs to be
channeled toward benefit to mankind. Whenit is not, it
becomes either aimless, or an instrument of danger.
Secondly, the uses to which we put our education-
to which we direct our knowledge-ultimately determine
the greatness of our own character .
Herein then, lies the true measure of our education-
how much we have benefitted others and how well we
.
have built our own character. When, in a lifetime, we
have dedicated ourselves toward these ends, we have
used our education wisely.
