Real Test of Education.
“What is education? I suggest.’ said Mr E. A. Benians. Master of St John's College, Cambridge, in a recent address, ‘that education is what remains after you have forgotten all you learned, what is left when it is all gone. That is the real measure of the value to you of your education. There should remain, and will remain, to you. if you have profited rightly by your education. in the first place, the power of thinking about a subject without having to apply your mind to it and coming to a decision. Another thing you should retain is the power of expressing your thought. Englishmen are generally more apt to express their thoughts in action than in speech or writing, but the gift of expression is one of the most valuable you can have in life.”
