education:one of the key words of our time

education is one of the key words of our time. a man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of ¹ circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. convinced of the importance of education, modern states 'invest' in institutions of learning to get back 'interest' in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, ² by text-books -- those purchasable wells of wisdom-- what would civilization be like without its benefits ?
so much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and ³, marriages and births--but our spiritual outlook would be different. we would lay less stress on 'facts and figures' and more on a good memory, on ⁵ ⁶, and on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow- citizens. if our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of 'college' imaginable. among the people whom we like to call ⁷ all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is, equally equipped for life.
it is the ideal condition of the 'equal start' which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to ⁹. in ¹⁰ cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is ¹¹ to all. there are no '¹² ' -- if the term can be applied to peoples without a script--while our own ¹³ school attendance became law in germany in 1642, in francein 1806, and in england in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of '¹⁴' nations. this shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the 'happy few' during the past centuries.
education in the ¹⁵ is not a matter of ¹⁶ means. all are entitled to an equal start. there is none of the hurry which, in our society, often ¹⁷ the full development of a growing personality. there, a child grows

up under the ever-present attention of his parents, therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no '¹⁹ delinquency.' no necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to 'buy' an education for his child.
