Lesson 33-2 Education 教育
If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the
most democratic form of ‘college’ imaginable. Among tribal people 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 regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to
receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no ‘illiterates’----if the
term can be applied to peoples without a script----while our own compulsory school
attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876,
and is still non-existent in a number of ‘civilized’ nations.
