Comenius, an educator and scholar in ancient Rome, was regarded as a great teacher. He wrote a book on education In which he described the Ideal class room. The teacher, he wrote, was to be seated on a raised piai form at one end of the school room, while the "students place their attention like a wide-mouthed Jug beneath the words of wisdom that flow from his lips." This is no longer considered the best method of teaching and, in spite of improved methods in teaching, the education al systems of today are said to be failing. Public and parochial school authorities attempt, through use of the most up to date methods, to send out students filled with a good knowledge so they can assume a responsible place in society. Success depends upon the intensity of a pupils Interest, the capability of teachers who use sound meth ods, and good homes. .... The high percentage of dropouts, the shriveling of ones desire to put Into practice one's education, and the host of "overly educated fools" are pointed to as evidence of modern education's failure. Religious education departments in the non-Catholic or non-Jewish (I cannot speak of their instruction as I am not familiar with It) American church denominations have, for over a century, strongly tended to follow the concepts of the public school. To pour religious subject matter into the stu dent with the hope that he would grow up to be a good Christian, or whatever faith his parents were, is unrealistic. In general, however, religious education for the young has failed. A few do make it, though, and some children who have attended church school and Sunday worship serv ices regularly for years alongside their parents do turn out to be adults of wisdom and people who attempt to live the "will of God." . , The drop-out rate from religious training is a scandal and the lack of depth in religious understanding is equally poor. Part of this failure can be laid at the feet of the instruc tion. Church school teachers who didn't study and plan their lesson before class, or who were often absent, surely conveyed to their pupils that what they were doing wasn't really very Important. Religious education In the Christian faith is far more than knowing the size of Noah's Ark or being able to recite I Corinthians 13. It is a day by day, year after year, basic grounding in prayer, learning to know right from wrong, self understanding, and knowledge of God, all learned under the tutorship of good parents and the church. This type of train ing will help prevent the ills of society and of individuals as we see them today. The first task of formal religious education Is to educate the adults! And I classify an adult as primarily those per sons between 14' and 45. Parents, instead of saying to their children, "Hurry and get to Sunday School," should say as they go out the door, after leaving the youngsters in the hands of a middle-aged baby sitter, "When you get to be 18 then you can start attending church school." What is the use of a grade school child attending church school half a dozen times a year for a couple of years? Hard ly any that I can think of. A little education is often worse than none. Harold Blake Walker writes, "What is the use of study ing botany and knowing the secrets of plants and flowers unless one pushes on beyond the 'flower in the crannied wall' to its meaning in God?" "What Is the use of studying history and mastering the long story of humanity's struggle to be free from tyrants and from cruel forces without seeing that God's 'truth is marching on'?" It requires wisdom to live successfully in our age. Tak ing religious education seriously means to teach the young adult first and the insights he gains will set the atmosphere in which he rears his family. To be truly educated is to be gin with the things that are seen and known and end by knowing and understanding "the things that are not seen" with the eyes. No matter how carefully acquired, knowledge, skills, and The Rhyming Philosopher COMMUNICATION "How can I make a friend?" the youngster cried, "There's no one seems to want me though I ve tried To be a sport and never to offend, So tell me grandpa, please, what makes a friend? The old man shook his head: "Plus your good looks You get high grades and master all your books, You play in all the games, you have good health, But first you have to be a friend yourself!" To be a friend." he said, "you have to share, And never domineer, but learn to care. Rejoice when someone else has won the race Many a worthy man took second place!" True love." he added, "comes in varied form, But never cold and distant, always warm; And friendship lends itself to richest living Because it's based on love's unselfish giving." The youngster sighed: "I'll learn this lesson well And change my ways, but how will people tell?' The old man smiled. "If you're sincere and true, Just be yourself, and friends will come to you!"
