BeHeves Educated M|ui ;i Should ELnow ^Everythin^ About SomethinsT and Something About Eyerything.** (Prom The Blue Stockin*) Oil Friday night your reporter climbed the stairs to the study of Dr. D. J. Brimm, proIeaaoT of Bible at Presbyterian college arid, found hiin| sitting in the midst of a room sur-j rounded by stacks of books that^ ranged in size from the smallest Sun day school pamphlet to volumes-as large * as Webeter’s biggest edition. The doctor was studying, but he con sented to be questioned as he laid his Bible lUdde and indicatedli chair for us near the fire. ^ “Tell me something about the i courses in the'rollege that you helped to introduce and ~ -whkdi you tetve taught from time to time,” we asked him first. # “Well,’* he began, “when I first taught in the coHege there was not as much ‘specializing’ as is the ten dency today, and everybody tried to get as well-rounded an education as possible in his four years. Neverthe less. there were st^ents who were preparing to study medicine and who, i cd course, needed Viology, which ati that time was not offered. I intro-1 duced that“couree and taught it forj a time.” Then, in the years that followed, he introduced courses in education and philosophy, and taught at vario\^ times, besides those two, courses in Greek, physics, I^atin and, during the World war, he taught matliematics'in the absence of the late Professor Martm.'' “^1 • “Then,” he tdd us, “revising the growing need of and interest ifiTead- ing and oratory, I taught classes in that for a while.^* —— We- asked him what he considered an educated man should know, and we found that he agreed with the theory-that “an educated man should know everything about something, and something about every When we asked him to explain l»w a student could best practice this .theory in'his effort to become edu»- oated, he replied: “First of all, there ahould be offefred in the student^ first year at college a course in ^neral science, which would include a brief survey of all|, the sciences, so that in this manner the student would have a chance to find out just which course most ap- pt*aled to him and in which course he was best equipped mentally to fodlow. From time to time, as the class took up the various sciences, the profeseor of that science could give one lecture " on that particular science.” Continu ing this thought. Eh*. Brimm added that i^ order for a man to acquire a general education, it should be poe- aible for him to pursue enough stud- *j€S that would give him a better knowledge, or rather^ more complete knowledge of^those courses now taken as ‘minor’ m that it would be pos sible for him to be entitled to a de gree in both the arts aiW" the sciences. The last thing we discussed was . the ambitions of a student. We asked him the question,, “Ho\^ may a stu dent be certain that he is best fit ted for the lifp work that he ha« chosen?” He replied, “The greatest test of this, I believe, lies in act\»Uy going to work now, in those tj^ings that most cloaely pertain to that type of work he has chosen, and the most ' important part of this test is the ‘ac tually going to work now,' for being engrossed in continuous hard work, the decisions wUl make themselves."
