he Value o Adult Education
Education is usually being frowned on
by adults as something not belonging in
their Iives, but merely in the world of
youngsters as part of basic schooling. They
reason they finished their education when
they left school, that they were able to get
along fairly well ever since and that there
is no reason for them to pick up books
again, to study abstract subjects and to do
homework in the same way as their own
children have to do. But in the complex
structure of modern living, an intellectual
revolution is needed among, adults. Not so
many years ago, they really were able to
coast along very well on what they had
learned in school and to add some further
knowledge by way of hobbies, but things
have changed and continued education is
now necessary to life.
There are many influences contribut-
ing to the state of affairs—what is going
on in the world has implications for every
individual: automation demands wide
knowledge, resiliency and adaption: in-
creased leisure threatens to ruin the essen-
tial humanes in human beings; it takes
wider knowledge and deeper understand-
ing to live happily in a modern world and
without up to date knowledge we are
plunged into great confusion after a short
time.
Instead of putting periods here and
there in life, as at the end of school days
or at the end of bachelorhood or the end
of employment on going on pension, com-
mas should be put in these places to allow
a branching out into more spacious versions
of life,
Continued learning carries us beyond
the easy judgments and superficial training
of youthful immaturity. It builds qualities
of the mind which enable us to understand
responsibilities and to detect opportunities
and to build a philosophy which becomes
part of life. It is a continuing initiation
in the art of living everyday life. Nothing
other than adult learning can build the
wisdom indispensable to the preservation
and strengthening of our society. People
must continue their development so as to
be able to judge new ideas, assess happen-
ings for their significance, and to judge
the purposes and effects of political de-
cisions.
This constructive approach to life is
an essential of enduring freedom. We need
straight thinking, disciplined creativity and
responsible co-operation. Such qualities as
sound values, understanding and sympathy
only develop in an environment of knowl-
edge. All these combine to qualify us to
exercise the right and meet the •obligations
of freedom. Every kind of knowledge,
every acquaintance with nature and art,
every new understanding of human ways
helps towards a comprehensive understand-
ing of life. The world into which we were
born has changed and is changing; it is not
enough to hold ground—we must make
progress. It is adults who make homes,
churches, schools, communities; it is adults
who determine policy on our political, eco-
nomic and social fronts; it is adults who
have to cope with the dangers and oppor-
tunities of every passing day. — (Elmira

Mt= By Bill Smiley
Everybody is writing about
Shakespeare these days. The
only sour- note is the fanfare of
acclaim marking his 400th anni-
versary is a deep rumbling
sound that has many people
baffled.
A. few romantics claim it is
the ghostly applause of nearly
four centuries of playgoers
echoing down the years. A few
realists assert that it is the mu-
tinous mumbling of 20 genera-
tions of students who had to
memorize chunks from his
works.
Personally, I think the dis-
cordant note is caused by the
rapid rotation in his grave of
the bones of The Bard, a shrewd
businessman, as he agonizes
over all those royalties he is
not collecting.
Otherwise, things are going
swimmingly as the critics and
professors of English peer and
peek and poke among the mag-
nificent debris, and the inane
argument about who really
wrote his plays waxes once
more with futile fury.
But I am not concerned with
that. There are enough people
plodding about through his
works, trampling poetry under-
foot as they search for clues to
prove he was really Bacon or
Marlowe or the Earl of Some-
thing.
Let's look for a moment at
the real Will Shakespeare.
We find him in the hundreds
of brief passages that have
come ringing down the years
with their universal truths He
had to put them in the mouths
of others, of course, but the
man himself is there, warm,
alive, grinning, scowling, scold-
ing, exulting.
What, could -be more human,
for example, than his pride in
his own success? When the
opening night performance of
Hamlet showed that the play
was a smash, he deftly inserted
in the last scene, and on the
spur of the moment, the joyful
line, "A hit, a very palpable
hit!"
We can see his amused toler-
ance of his wife's lack of muscle
in another famous line. She'd
slipped a disc while trying to
move an old trunk of sonnets.
"Frailty, thy name is woman,"
quipped Will.
We can sympthaize with his
honest rage (this was before
dry-cleaning) as he scrubbed
the gravy -stain on his new silk
breeches and bellowed, "Out,
•damned spot! Out, I say!"
What man's heart does not
warm to The Bard's forthright
suggestion, in Henry VI, Part
2, "The first thing we do, let's
kill all the lawyers."
Is there a housewife living
who has echoed, at some time,
Shakespeare's immortal com-
ment when his wife came hone
from the butcher with a stringy
roast, "This is the most un-
kindest out of all"?
Many a man has wished he
had the gift, and the nerve, that
Will displayed the night he got
home from the pub, tiddly and
tardy and was confronted by
his wife, her sister, and his
mother-in-law. Did he say he
was sorry and would never do
it again? Not he, He roared,
"How now, you secret, black
and midnight hags!"
He knew men, as witness,
"`Tis ever common that men
are merriest when they are
from home." He knew women,
too._ "There was never yet a
fair woman but she made
mouths in a glass."
As this piece of research
ends, I can hear a multitude of
English teachers saying, in uni-
son, "For this relief much
thanks."
