Weighed and Not Found Wanting
[Written Especially for Young People]
There is talk, here and there, of sympathy for those sometimes referred to as "poor graduates" who are leaving school to enter a troubled business world, where fresh talents and training apparently count for little when weighed against experienced talent and scarcity of jobs.
No graduate or student specially wants sympathy, nor does he need it, if he has been trained in Christian Science. No matter how many disparaging remarks are made about the uselessness of a college education or academic learning in a practical business world, the intelligent young man or woman need not be dismayed. The student who has experienced the joy of new vistas of thought, of wider horizons gained through study and reading, would not discard these benefits, nor would he regard himself pityingly if for a time on leaving school he received less remuneration than his comrade who entered business several years earlier. For, as Mrs. Eddy has written in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" (p. 195), "Observation, invention, study, and original thought are expansive and should promote the growth of mortal mind out of itself, out of all that is mortal."
New standards of both success and happiness are being brought to light through the economic cataclysm the world is experiencing. Not only have money and other material values proved unstable, but the things which money buys have ever proved inadequate to provide lasting happiness. Economists, educators, and business leaders agree that the machine age should mean a shorter working week, and hence more leisure; and that for healthy and happy leisure there must be a development of interests, forms of recreation, and inspirational activities. Any education worthy of the name has provided many-sided interests, new contacts, and possibilities of thought-development which may profitably occupy the leisure hours of the machine age.
