We send our children to school to prepare them for the time they will have to
work for themselves. They learn foreign languages in order to be able to benefit
from what people in other countries have written and said. Nearly everything
they study at school has some practical use in life. But this is not the only
reason why they go to school.

There is more in education than just learning facts. We go to school to

learn how to learn. A man who really knows how to learn will always be
successful because whenever he has to do something new which he has never
done before, he will rapidly teach himself how to do it in the best way. The
purpose of school is to teach pupils how to learn.
