Schools Now Open
But What Is Taught?
Schools have either just reopened or will reopen soon.
Youngsters of military personnel stationed all over the
world will return to their books after a summer of frolicking
and freedom from study. College students will go back to
their classrooms where professors will try to explain to
them the world in which they live.
Education, it will be reiterated again and again, leads
to a better jobs, higher pay, and better opportunities for
wealth and fame. Dropouts will be urged to return to school
in order not to forfeit higher wages and more attractive
employment. In all, the major emphasis on education seems
to be as an investment for better material returns and
economic well-being.
It would be wrong to disregard or deny the economic advan-
tages inherent in education. However, we should also stress and
emphasize the ultimate purpose of true education. It is to grow to
“know thyself” and to know others. Knowing others will lead to
understanding and true understanding will lead to the respect for
your fellow man.
In the world in which we live, the understanding of and respect
for fellow men is more important and more difficult to achieve than
any other goal. If the goal is reached it will lead to true world
peace and bring certain self satisfaction to all individuals at a time
when anxiety, tension and disaffection MUST fade away.
It is up to the halls of learning to open the portals of the human
heart to these truths.

QUESTION—Are there oppor-
tunities for the exchange of visi-
tors between Communist and other
countries?
ANSWER—The Soviet Govern-
ment sends abroad and receives
numerous trade and cultural mis-
sions. Moscow is evincing an in-
creasing interest in the exchange
of scientific and technical delega-
tions, in line with its avowed de-
sire to learn about developments
abroad in those fields in which it
is lagging. Athletic groups and
teams from Iron Curtain nations
compete in international events
and Soviet opera and ballet com-
panies go on tour outside the
country.
Aside from official government-
sponsored missions or tours in
foreign lands, however, the Soviet
citizen has little opportunity to
travel outside his own country.
Tourist travel by citizens of Com-
munist countries to free nations
is rigidly controlled. Tourism
from free nations to Communist
areas is also controlled but the
restrictions to some extent have
been eased.
Since 1958, tourists have been
encouraged to visit the USSR and
many thousands of visitors—con-
ducted by the Soviet travel
agency, Intourist — have seen
places selected for maximum
propaganda value. However, vast
areas are closed to visitors.
Christian Life Conference

will be conducted at the Whale
Bay Security Camp, Sept. 20-
22, by Chaplain H. W. Holland,

the Chapel on Friday afternoon
at 1500 and return on Sunday
afternoon. Individual morning
prayer watch, group singing,

vate counseling, and group
prayers will be included. Inter-
ested personnel contact Chap-
lain Holland for reservations
prior to Sept 16.

IMPORTANCE OF THE INDIVIDUAL
In this day and age when so much stress is being placed
upon machines and what they can do for man, it is re-
assuring to hear astronaut John Glenn urge that in future
space flights more reliance be placed upon the pilot and
on automatic gadgetry. In this electronic age, when it
comes down to crucial decisions, nothing quite equals the
alertness, fine tuning, and dependable judgement of the
human mind. This goes to remind us of the importance of
the individual, no matter who he, or she is.
The following article, entitled “Babies and Battles”, was
written nearly a half century ago and brings out most
clearly the true worth of the individual. “A century ago
men were following with bated breath, the march of Napo-
leon, and waiting with feverish impatience for news of
the wars. And all the while in their own homes, babies
were being bom.
“But who could think about babies?
Everybody was thinking about battles.
“In one year, midway between Trafalgar and Waterloo,
there stole into the world, a host of heroes. Gladstone was
born in Liverpool, Tennyson at the Somersby Rectory, and
Oliver Wendell Holmes in Massachusetts. Music was en-
riched by the advent of Felix Mendelsson at Hamburg.
“But nobody thought of babies; everybody was thinking
of battles. Yet which of the battles of 1809 mattered more
than the babies of 1809 We fancy that God can only
manage His world with big battalions, when all the while
He is doing it by beautiful babies. When a wrong wants
righting, or a truth wants preaching, or a continent wants
opening, God sends a baby into the World to do it.”
When each and every one of us, irregardless of race
or color, is constantly aware of the excellence and dignity
that is his by just being a person; when we stop and realize
the fact that each one of us has something that only we
can contribute to the Glory of God and the welfare of
man; then justice, charity and peace will inhabit the face
of the earth.
The Sacred Scripture (Genesis 2:27) summarizes the
worth of the individual with these words: “And God created
man to his own image; to the image of God he created
him. Male and female he created them.” It is a great chal-
lenge to live up to our true worth!
