KNOWLEDGE IS NOT EDUCATION
‘•The aim of education,” said Mr Ramsay MacDonald in a recent speech “is not fulfilled .when you simply make pupils well-stocked reference tiles. Knowledge is not education. You can know as much as the wisest man in the world ever knew—unless his wisdom consisted of the affairs of the soul, 1 except that—but so far as his book knowledge is concerned, material knowledge and the knowledge of things, a man may know all that there is to he known and in the end he a consummate fool. The aim of education is not merely the acquiring of knowledge.. It is far more akin to this—the capacity to use what you do know, and the man who can use a little of his knowledge is a far better educated man than the man who knows a great deal and cannot use anything at all of it.”
