问题     Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances deprived【C1】______ one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities.【C2】______ of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in【C3】______ of learning to get back "interest" in the form of a large group of【C4】______ young men and women who are potential leaders. Education is, with its cycles of instruction so carefully【C5】______ , punctuated by text-books—those purchasable wells of  【C6】______  —what would civilization be like without its benefits?
    So much is certain: that we could have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual【C7】______ would be different. We would【C8】______ less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and on the【C9】______ of a man to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were【C10】______ after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge【C11】______ by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect everybody is equally【C12】______ for life.
    It is the ideal condition of the "equal part" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the【C13】______ to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding on us all. There are no "illiterates" —if the term can be【C14】______  to people without a script—while our own compulsory school【C15】______ 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. This shows how long it was【C16】______ we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge【C17】______ by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
    Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are【C18】______ to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present【C19】______ of his parents; therefore the jungles and the savannahs (大草原) know of no "juvenile delinquency." No necessity of making a living away from home results in【C20】______ of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child. [br] 【C18】
