The
Surprising Origin
of
ODERN
EDUCATION
More
students
than ever before are entering a college
or
uni–
versity. Yet almost
none
knows the TRUTH about how this
system
of
higher education developed
-
its RECENT DRIFT
-
and
why the system is even
now
becoming obsolete.
by
Herbert W . Armstrong
T
HOUSANDS
of high school seniors,
as well as hundreds of dis–
illusioned university students aJI
over the world make final decisions
about
COLLEGE
every year
THAT WlLL
VITALLY AFFECT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES!
The
WRONG
decisioo may mean faii–
ure - unhappiness - frustration for
UFE.
Girls, as well as men.
If
1 were a young man or young
woman, either already
in
a university, or
now at last
ready
for college, 1 would
most assuredly give sober and solemn
THOUGHT
to the things 1 want to say to
you here.
1
would want to think seriously about
WHY
so many college graduates, after
having alrcady acquirecl •'· Bachelor's or
Master's degree, feel that the univcrsity
failed to give them what they really
NEEDED,
if their lives were to be suc–
cessful , completely satisfying.
1
would want to look, searchingly,
into the
REASONS
behind the thousands
of
FAILURES
in life by college graduates
- and why even
most
who do achieve
moderate or even rich financia! status
sti/J
find their lives
UNHAPPY,
far short
of the completely
gratifying,
rewarding
sense of satisfaction they had antici–
pated before entering college.
1
would want to find the reasons
WHY SO MANY COLLEGE GRADUATES
MAKE FAILURES IN MARRIAGE -
failures in child rearing as parents.
I would want to know
WHY
so many,
whosc
minds
have been trained and
filled with technical knowledge
in
spe–
cialized fields, still are emotionally
immature, morally and spiritually mixed
up and confuscd, still plagued with a
feeling of inadequacy, uncertainty, infe.
riority, insecurity- even frustration.
Yes,
WHY?
WIIAT JS IT
that these millions, who
spent four, six or more years in "higher
education," find they failed to obtain at
college?
It
is, plainly and simply, that they
were not g iven the
mosl importmtl
knowledge and experience needed for a
balanced, well-rounded, happy,
ablln–
dant
life that is
real/y
successful!
May 1 just speak
personal/y,
inti–
mately, as
1
would in a face-to-face,
heart-to-heart talk if you should come to
me and ask prívate and personal advice
