Learning By Imparting Poem by Martin Greyford

Let the youth advance as fast as
Far as they can in the acquisition of knowledge.
Let their field of study be
Broad as their powers can compass
And as they learn,
Let them impart their knowledge.
It is thus that their
Minds will acquire discipline and power.
It is the use of their
Knowledge that determines the value of their education.
To spend a longtime in study,
With no effort to impart what is gained,
Often proves a hinderance rather
Than a help to real development.

In both the home and the school it should be
The students efforts to learn how to study
And how to impart the knowledge gained.
Whatever his calling,
He is to be both a learner and
A teacher as long as life shall last.
Thus he may advance continually,
Making God his trust
Clinging to Him who is infinite in wisdom,
Who can read the secrets hidden for ages,
Who can solve the most difficult
Problems for minds that believe in Him
