PRESIDENT MOCK INSTALLED
Installation Service Largely Attended
By Friends and Patrons of
Dallas College.
Dr. Charles A. Mock was formally
installed as President of Dallas Col
lege last Thursday evening. The
Installation service was held In the
United Evangelical church and was
largely attended by friends and
patrons of the college. Many men
prominent in educational affairs were
present from Portland, Salem, Mo-
Minnville and other cities.
The church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with palms, Oregon
grape ami Spring flowers. Seated on
the platform were Bishop William F.
Heil, of Highland Park, Illinois ; Rev.
A. A. Winter, of Portland, financial
agent or Dallas College; Judge N. L.
Butler, Dr. C. A. Mock and Prof.
D. M. Metzger. Excellent music, was
furnished by a selected chorus, and
vocal solos were rendered by Mrs,
Lan Browne and Prof. H. II.
Dunkelberger.
Bishop Heil delivered .a scholarly
address on the Importance of higher
education. He called attention to the
fact that the most efficient educational
work in the United States Is being
done by the smaller colleges, and
cited many Instances in support of
his assertion. He spoke of the up
lifting and ennobling influence that
Is felt In every community where there
is a well directed school, and closed
his excellent talk by speaking In the
highest terms of the good work and
rapid growth of Dallas College.
Bishop Hell was followed by Judge
N. L. Butler, who spoke as a repre
sentative of the people of Dallas.
Judge Butler gave an eloquent and
feeling address, in which he urged
hearty co-operation between the
college and the community in en
larging the sphere of usefulness of
the school. "The college will grow
and prosper, if it be the consensus of
opinion that it shall grow and
prosper," declared the speaker. "Much
earnest work Is necessary in building
up a college and placing iton a useful
basis." Judge Butler spoke of the
kindly feeling of the people of Dallas
for Dr. Mock and pledged him their
loyal support in his work.
Professor Wasfhburn, a member of
the faculty of Willamette University,
brought a message of congratulation
and good-will from his school, and,
In a few-pleasing remarks, wished
Dallas College a bright and success
ful future.
Rev. A. A. Winter, the financial
agent of the college, and a former
popular member of the faculty, told of
the action of the recent General Con
ference In voting the interest on
$50,000 for a period of four years for
the support of the school. This
amount, together with the interest on
the endowment, will enable the
trustees to make many needed changes
and improvements about the college
building and grounds. .Professor
Winter paid a glowing tribute to the
enterprise of the people of Dallas in
building up their town, and thanked
them for their loyal support of the
College.
Dr. Mock then received the Installa
tion charge, which was brief but
mpressive. He responded by expres
sing his gratitude for the kindly
expressions of good-will and pledging
himself to devote his best efforts to
the upbuilding of the college. He
took for the subject of his inaugural
address "The Ideal of Education and
Its Attainment," and said in part:
DR. MOCK'S ADDRESS.
All progress Is toward the realiza
tion of an Ideal. This is strikingly
manifest In Nature, where In the very
constitution of things the mind dis
covers fixed tendencies which not only
point out but also predetermine the
end for which the things exist. Evo
lution Is the process of working out
the ideal which the Creator has set as
the goal toward which all the forces of
nature should move. Without at
least a partial apprehension of this
truth natural science would be an
Impossibility. Not only does the mind
discover that progress In nature is
toward the attainment of an Ideal, but
likewise finds in Itself the necessity
for an Ideal or ideals by which and
toward which its own powers shall be
directed. It also possesses, In a large
measuie, the power of creating its
own ideals. Through Its power to
look beyond present attainments and
by its inventive faculties to arrange;
and combine Ms Ideas in new forms,
it anticipates those attainments which
exist only in possibilities and sets
them as its standard of excellence,
and the ultimate object of attainment
or goal toward which its efforts shall,
be directed. Without this, progress j
in the realm of human action would
be impossible.
In the sphere of the moral and
Intellectual it is a law that wo become
the concrete expression of the ideal we
set for ourselves, so that we- not only
create our Ideals, but in turn through
their reflex influence we are shaped
and molded by them, and in a less or :
erefer degree we become the lncarna-j
Uon of that which had its first exist- j
ence in our Imagination.
It is not essential here to expiaio
the psychological processes by which
COUNTY, GREG ION,
this is brought to pass, but It Is suf
ficient to point out the fact and its
bearing upon the matter at hand.
It Is obvious that, In the pursuit of
an education and the adaptation of
means to end, very much depends
upon the ideal or standard which we
set for our guidance and the ultimate
goal of our endeavors. The question,
therefore, properly arises, what Is
ideal or end of education?
In answer to this question varying
definitions have been offered, from the
number of which I might mention a
few that, to me, seem most nearly to
set ronh the true end of education,
Milton said, I call a complete and
generous education that which fits a
man to perform, justly, skillfully, aud
magnanimously, all the offices, pri
vate and public, of both peace and
war." Spencer puts It concisely in
these words, "To prepare us for com
plete living is the function which
education has to discharge." But
what I consider the most complete and
adequate definition of the Ideal of
education is one given by Dr. Chan
ning: "The true end of education Is
to unfold and direct aright our whole
nature. Its office is to call forth
power of every kind powerof thought,
affection, will, and outward action;
power to judge, to observe, to reason,
to contrive ; power to adopt good ends
firmly, and to pursue them efficiently ;
powerto govern ourselves and to influ
ence others; power to Rain and to
spread happiness."
Primarily the end of education Is
being rather than doing; cultural
rather than utilitarian. Au education
is to be sought, not so much for what
it will enable us to do, as for what it
will make of us. It is the function of
education to cultivate the mind and to
bring into actualization that which
exists in possibility, to develop the
latent powers of the soul. The
supreme end of education Is the per
fection of the individual in the devel
opment of all his powers; an end to
be sought for Its own sake rather than
for any utilitarian advantage culture
may afford us. Spiritual worthiness
Is the highest goal of human endeavor.
It is to be regretted that the spirit
of commercialism enters so largely
into educational affairs in these days
This commercialism Is peculiarly an
American fallacy of education, and is
both result and cause of the practical
materialism of the times. It seems
that, too often, the paramount con
sideration in seeking an education Is
gain in material wealth rather than
spiritual worthiness the development
of the money-getting faculty rather
than the truth-loving, beauty-dis
cerning, good -dispensing powers of
the soul. The ubiquitous, and some
times iniquitous, Business College
both attests the fact and fosters the
tendency. The result is that the
sordid and unreal are taken for the
real, while reolity itself is deflued In
the terms of the unreal, and Is lost
sight of, or considered unworthy of
the effort necessary to attain it; the
dollar rather than truth is made the
standard of life, and education is
valued as an advantageous means ot
acquiring the dollar a kind of
Alchemy by which a minimum of
time and energy of youth, from the
commercial standpoint, comparatively
worthless, may be transmuted Into
the maximum of money-getting tact
to be employed later on, when, Id a
quite literal sense, "time is golden."
Too often when the subject of getting
an education is under consideration,
the chief points to be settled are the
questions. How long will it take? How
much will it cost? What will it en
able one to earn? Instead of being a
question of life and living to be de
cided by ethical and spiritual stand
ards, it narrows itself down to a
simple arithmetical problem the solu
tion of which is easily reached with
pencil and paper. And if an education
is to be sought It Is from the con
clusion, that a few dollars invested,
and a little time expended, now, will
yield large monetary returns later.
Instead of looking to the cultivation
and expansion of those faculties which
make, us kin to angels and God, and
in the development of which consists
true success of life, we suffer these to
lie dormant and to be dwarfed, prosti
tuting our energies to those character
istics which rob us of our divine kin
ship and make us sordid, sensual,
beastly.
True it is that education is capital.

C. A. MOCK, Ph. D.. Pres. Dallas College
APIUL 1(1007.
this should be considered as an inci
dent rather than as an end ; and In
stead of asking what returns will an
education yield In monetary values,
we should Inquire what will be Its re
turns In the higher values of man
hood and spiritual dignity.
I do not wish to place at a discount
that phase of education which has
direct bearing upon the practical busi
ness relations of life. I could not do
8o if I wished. We are living in an
age of specialization, when to attain
success, at all, beyond the mediocre,
in any calling or profession, technical
traiuing must have a large place in
the woik of preparation. There was
a time, no doubt, when the man of
all trades was in demand, but that
time has passed, and the demand, now,
Is for the specialist, the man who can
focus all his energies on one small
point and thereby achieve success.
mis mnKes it necessary that we
should have commercial, normal, and
technical schools whose aim should be
to prepare men and women for the
particular trades and professions do
manded by the times. But we should
be careful to assign this specialization
to Its proper place. Premature tech
nical training fatally narrows the
mind, and thereby defeats Its own
purpose by compressing the energies
Into one narrow channel before they
have had an opportunity to gain the
requisite strength through general
culture. A broad culture should lay
the foundation for professional
studies. Technical studies should not
be taken up until the powers have
been first well trained. Education, in
the broad sense, is the acquisition of
power. It is the business of profes
sional training to enable us to employ
and utilize that power in the per
formance of the duties of life, and,
therefore, should not supersede but
succeed those studies that have their
value in the culture they afford.
In defining our ideal of education it
is necessary to set forth the essential
characteristics of the educated mind.
To some, the terms education and
knowledge Rre synonomous, but such
Is not the case. While knowledge Is
an important element, It is not the
whole of education. The "educated
mind is not encyclopaedic, holding In
the chambers of memory a vast store
of accumulated facts which may be
drawn upon as the occasion demands
or the need arises. Education is
dynamic rather than encyclopaedic;
and knowledge is in principles and
relations rather than in concrete
particulars. It Is not so much that we
know, as that we have power to know.
Locke puts It in this manner, "the
business of education in respect of
knowledge, is not to perfect a man in
all or any one of the sciences, but to
give his mind that freedom, that dis
position, and those habits, that may
enable him to attain any part of
knowledge he shall apply himself to,
or stand In need of, In the future
course of his life."
A second characteristic of the edu
cated mind Is the power to feel. In
ability to feel is ever a mark of an
uncultivated mind. The highest
culture demands the strongest possible
development of the aesthetic faculties,
through which we come Into touch
and communion with the more subtle
and refining forces of life which go so
far toward the ennobling of our
spirits. Nature with her manifold
charms, and Art with Its messages too
refined for speech, and our fellow
spirits with secrets of sympathy and
love that dare not be entrusted to
words, here find a gateway to the soul
through an ear that is sensitive to the
still, small voices with which alone
they can communicate to us their
refined treasures.
Along with the power to know and
to feel the educated mind possesses
the power to will. The last is the
necessary complement of the other
two. It is not sufficient to be able to
know and to feel, but for the attain
ment of the highest ends, it is essential
that great powerof will be developed ;
the will to choose always the good, to
hold to it firmly, and to follow It unre
lentingly; the will to resist those
things which appeal to our desires
against the edicts of reason, and to
persist in those things which are to be
achieved only as the reward of self
denial and patient endurance.
This then is our conclusion ; Edu
cation primarily is cultural rather
than utilitarian ; its end la in being
rather than in doing. The charac
teristics of an educated mind are, io
the main, power to know, power to
feel, power to will. And our Ideal
finds iu highest and fullest expression
In the man who Is at the same time
scholar, gentleman and christian.
Dr. Moelc then spoke at length of
the methods of attaining this ideal,
and closed his masterly address by
saying: "A well-ordered curriculum
will aim to bring every normal mind
Into contact with science studies, as
develop! ng powe r for the interpretation
of nature; mathematics, as training
In the handling of the fundamental
products of consciousness and in
