 MEAN OF EDUCATION

Education is one of the basic activities of people in all human societies. The continued existence of society depends upon the transmission of culture to the young. It is essential that every new generation must be given training in the ways of the group so that the same tradition will continue. Every society has its own ways and means of fulfilling this need. Education has come to be one of the ways fulfilling this need.

The term 'education' is derived from the Latin work 'educare' which literally means to 'bring up' and is connected with the word 'educere' which means to "bring forth'. The idea of education is not merely to impart knowledge to the pupil in some subjects but to develop in him those habits and attitudes with which he may successfully 'face the future.

The Latin author Varro wrote —"The midwife brings forth, the nurse brings up, the tutor trains and the master teaches. "Plato was of the opinion that the end of education was to develop in the body and in the soul (of the pupil) all the beauty and all the perfection of which they are capable. It means, in short, a sound mind in sound body (mens sana incorporate sano).

According to the Aristotelian conception, the aim of education is "to develop man's faculties, especially, his mind, so that he may be able to enjoy the contemplation of the supreme truth, goodness and beauty in which perfect happiness, essentially consists.
