Christian Education at Washington Training College
The following paragraph from the announcement of the Washington Training College will indicate the attitude of the institution upon the question of a proper education:— The development of the highest type of moral character and a preparation for the most efficient service for God and humanity are the most worthy aims in education. Courses of study should be planned, and methods of instruction should be determined, with primary reference to these aims. This is Christian education. It means the harmonious development of all the powers of the being,—physical, mental, and moral,—and a training of all these powers in the actual experience of service. The result of such an education should be seen in young men and women possessing good health and knowing how to preserve it, having minds stored with the facts and principles acquired by earnest application and experience in their use; and revealing in the life, loyalty to God and his truth, and intelligent devotion to his service. Such an education will prepare workmen who will show themselves approved unto God, and who need not to be ashamed. A copy of the announcement can be secured by addressing the president, Prof. J. W. Lawhead, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.
