Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Normal Training of the Child
The subject has three key words. These will be used to unlock the doors into our house of study. What we say will be directly related to these words education, the child, the Bible School. It is not the province of this lecture to deal primarily and fundamentally with the educational problem. And yet when we would talk or write suggestively and intelligently of the child, and the child's relation to the school, the thought of education becomes close, vital and necessary. We must also realize that the child was not made for the school but the school for the child. And the natural and normal answer for the school's existence is for the purpose of edu cation. What then is the function of education? Education, says President Butler, of Columbia, is the adaptation of a person, a self-conscious be ing, to environment and the development of capacity in a person to modify or control that environment. It is first a matter of principles and second a matter of methods. To prepare us for complete living is the function which education has to discharge.

Excerpt from The Normal Training of the Child
At the genesis of our discussion a foreword of explanation is perhaps necessary and advisable.
In this busy, progressive, epoch-making age, that man is a dilettante, who either reads, writes or talks for the mere thought of discussion. We should be profoundly thankful that we are fast moving away from the thought of simply seeking truth for truth's sake, studying art for art's sake, or achieving progress for fame's sake. It is now for life's sake and man's sake that we use the microscope and telescope, the scalpel of the surgeon, the atom of the scientist, the brush of the artist. Geology, astronomy, philosophy, psychology, as well as religion must bear a vital relation to man before they can perform their highest service in the working out of the eternal purpose. It is wise then to couple our dreaming with soldiering, our praying with planning, our worship with working.
Our purpose is not to rattle the dry bones of either a past or present theology.
