FOR GOD AND COUNTRY
By R. W. COOPER
Director of the Bureau of Education of
When education is thought of as
that which happens in a boy or girl
in the years of their development into
manhood or womanhood, the term in- ,
eludes in its scope all agencies of so- j
ciety that may in any way affect the j
developing child, and includes as its
final objective all of the relationships
and activities of the mature man or

to beget in him such responses,
so as
aims, ideals, desires and habits as will
enable him to live normally, effec
tively and happily. It is not mere
book learning, nor mere intellectual
development. Nor does education aim
ake them think alike or act alike,
but rather to put them into contact
with the varied forces of society in
such a way as to make them respond
naturally and develop normally into
strong, noble, active men and women.
therefore, must be
thought of as beginning at birth, per
haps even before nativity, and as con
tinuing so long as a man pursues
active and useful career,
and learns, through the varied disap
pointments and enthusiasms of youth,

unknown as if on a new quest into a ; {

All of these experiences of a man

stated above; it is bad just in so far
it fails to attain that high aim.

A good education specifically aims j
to develop the growing man into a j
workman at some useful form of |
labor, a worthy and active member of in

would like to make sure that a man,
or woman, will become all of these
things in a lifetime.
The chief agencies that assist in
the making of a man, and which are,
therefore, to be held responsible both
for what happens and for what does
not happen in the education of a gen
eration of young men and women, are
the home, the school, and the church.
What these three agencies are in any
State or nation will largely determine
what the rising generation will be
come in that State or nation. In one
way or another, in one aspect of them
or another, these three agencies pro
duce the reactions and establish the
habits that characterize us as men
and women. They produce civiliza
tion.

The Con
stitution, wisely divorcing the church
from the State, does not, however, im
ply that religious education is unim

anxious concern of a righteous nation.
On the contrary, the religious senti
ments of the community, the moral
and spiritual ideals which are the pe
culiar character of the church, com
pose no inconsiderable part of t.ie
education of a citizen. The church
does not fulfill her civic function as
an organized religious institution un
til she has provided the buildings, the
equipment, materials of instruction,
the methods and the trained instruc
tors that will give to the children of
the nation the religious instruction
they need.
There are anxious calls for the
more efficient operation of all three
agencies in the education of our
youth-—better homes and more de
voted home makers, better schools,
playgrounds, and more well-trained
instructors in the schools, more effec
tive methods of religious instruction
in every church that they may, to
gether, enrich the community life of
our people for the better upbringing
of the coming generation.—The Even
