In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all – whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree refuse to do what they think to be “low” work, and, in fact, working with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.

A．to build a perfect world B．to choose a system of education C．to let everyone receive education fit for him D．to prepare children mainly for their future work 2、Which of the follo
