Description

Our Job: To know the etymon of a word is undoubtedly the best aid to the correct use of it, hence the study of etymology. In many cases, the long and frequent use of common words has obscurred the deep significance of them. One of these is the word education. Latinists know that we get the word education from the Latin verb educere, meaning "to lead out or to draw out;" and we have come to use it in defining the system of "training the moral and intellectual faculties the developing of personality." Education is effected, therefore, when the seeds of possibility within the person are warmed by the sun of awakening influences, and watered by the gentle showers of helpful criticism; this brings forth the admirable plant of original thought and action, blossoming with the flower of success.
