Education is not an end, but a means to an end In other words, we do not educate children
only for the purpose of educating them Our purpose is to fit them for life
In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think that by free
education for all - whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of
society and build a perfect nation But we can already see that free education for all is not
enough; we find in such countries a large number of people with university degree; they
refuse to do what they think "low" work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty
and shameful in such countries But we have only to think a moment to understand that the
work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we
can live without education, but we die if we have no food If no one cleaned our streets and
took the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in our own towns
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that
we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to
our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society,
and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work Only such a type of education can be
considered valuable to society
