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 problem of society and built 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 tool the rubbish away from our house, we should get terrible diseases in your towns.
	In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must 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 ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
