True Education..........And Results

 "True education makes for inequality; the inequality of individuality,   
 the inequality of success, the glorious inequality of talent, of genius; 
 for inequality, not mediocrity, individual superiority, not   standardization, is the measure of the progress of the world."       Felix E. Schelling

I agree with the above quote.  However, I am convinced that a true education, a complete education; must not ignore the importance of having and education that involves instruction, awareness of, and the practice of conduct that is guided by tested moral parameters.
To prove my point, I will quote Woodrow Wilson.  He  practiced law.  He was President of  Princeton University for 8 years.  Later, he 
became the 28th President of the United States.  He was a firm believer in the Bible.  He believed in doing the right thing.  He was President of the nation when the US entered World War I.  The following is a portion of a long presentation he made to the American people regarding the entrance to that War.    RD

"It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance.  But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts--for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal domination of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations and make the world itself at last free."     Woodrow Wilson
