Plan Ahead, An Editorial

Context:

I have long recognized the value of Lifetime Learning as a component in individual development. While at the Kansas Industrial Extension Service (KIES) at Kansas State University from 1966 to 1970 I published a quarterly newspaper advertising the offerings and services of KIES. I wrote an editorial for each and in the October, 1968 issue I described a procedure by which persons can plan their own educational development. I present this editorial to illustrate my thinking about an idea that is importantly relevant at this time of galloping technology. Readers can update this editorial by substituting Lifetime Learning wherever I used continuing education, which is now an obsolete term. It implies continuing an education already received. We all need NEW education. I maintain that this can be acquired through Lifetime Learning.
