           Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In   1  words, we don't educate children only for the purpose of   2   them. Our purpose is to fit them for future. In some modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all— 3   stupid or clever, poor or rich one can solve all the   4   of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that   5   education for all is not enough. We find in some countries a far   6  number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think “low” work, and in fact, work   7 is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But if we think only for a moment, we can understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than   8   of a professor. We can live   9  education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the   10   away from our houses, we should get terrible   11   in our towns.

           12 , when we say that all of us must   13  to fit us for life, it means that we must have educated in such a way: Firstly , each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society and that it is very bad to be ashamed 14  one's work.  15 such a type of education can be thought valuable to society.
