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 So it is very important to choose a suitable system of education which will really prepare children for life

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 job is suited to his brain and ability, and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work, or to

seem someone else’s Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.
