Anyone may launch himself on the sea of life without having learned navigation, without having been equipped with the needed training, knowledge, and qualifications which fit him to assume life's responsibilities--be they choosing a wife, rearing a family, following a profession, or keeping his body healthy. A true education would prepare the young adequately from kindergarten to university in the art of how to live. The prevalence of so much avoidable distress, misery, ignorance, and evil shows up this lack. But the teachers, the masters, and the professors themselves need to be taught first.
