[115 habit of reflection: and efficiency, or the power to do,
Mr. Murray-Butler said they had come) to the point where a scientific foundation bad been laid for the work of education. where a great body of knowledge, psy- chologiest, ethical, seal, and philoso phical, had been acquired, analysed," classified, and brought together to serve Ps the base upon which they built the superstructure of the daily work of the schools, calleges, ami universities of every ud. In the United States there was a is in whether their growing question great educational system was achieving The realts nderuate to its post. In that entry they were pressed, för an answer as to why it was that there seemed to be a gap between their apparent ideals and the results in the public opinion of the world. What evidence was there that the public resisted unreason and unanalysed canotions, and asked for evidence of facts, of scientific explanation of the various policies which were urged upon it. He had no time to answer the ques tion, but he referred to it because it illustrated one point which he wished to make that was that they should con- stant'y lay increasing emphasis upon the aim and purpose of their undertaking. They must recognise the fact that there A distinction between attending *W*H school or college and getting an educa- tion. The old standard was the growth in information. The person who had ac quired the most information was the best educated; the
who knew the
person largest number of dates or who had at command the largest number of quota- tions, or who hail read the greatest num- ber of pages in history of literature,, was! the best educated. It was no longer pos sible to ray that the person who had rend tem slamlard works of history was twice ns well edented as the man who had read only live. What, he asked. "was to take the age of the quantitative standard which had broken down!
He would suggest five tinita-call them what they might-ag evidences of an edp- cation, and he offered them as a sub-
titite for the impression of n young! American college studort, who, grasping ing the diploma ci his Bachelor's Degree, dashed from the authorium on's hot June day into the apartments of his admiring) parents and shouted, Thank God, at lake 1 am dated." (Laughter.) First he suggested correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue as the in strument of expression, the mid to flection, and as the avenue to inform tion. Hear, hear.) Our language was surely one of the three or four great in struments of thought and expression that the world had known. We were justified not only in laying the greatest

phasis upon the study of the mother tongue, but in putting it always and everywhere at the foundation of our pro- grammes, and never amitting for an in- stant references to it whatever be the type, or form, or subject of instruction, Secondly, he named refined and gentle manners which were the result of fixed habit, of thought, and of action. Good Duaners were a very effective measure of sund morals. (Cheers.) He could not contemplate the word "educated" being applied to the most well-informed val garian. Thirdly, he would name sound standards of appreciation of beauty and of worth of character based in those standards. He would surround the grow- ing youth with objects of beauty, with 1 reproductions of the beautiful, and ex- clude the ugly. Fourthly, he would hame The the power and habit of reflection. vast majority of men and women lived on the surface of life; very rarely they go beneath it, analyse it, or measure its depths, and try to understand the sceret and hidden forces that were mak- ing it the power it was, and yet their great characteristic ng human beings was the capacity to think and reflect, Surely lucation in its formint aspect should make some Teginning towards building up that power and thai habit in them Reflection could not be taught, perhaps. but its foundation could be Inid.

As they developed in their great ystems of national education those traits and characteristics they would be carry- ing forward mankind towards that happy and. fortunate day when the opportu nities for understanding and co-operation would multiply, and when the "barriers which stupidity worked for the benefit of prejudice would, steadily disappear?"
