Education will place less emphasis on selfishness-breeding competition between individual scholars and more on tolerance-breeding progress of all the scholars. It will cease basing itself on the old error that all of them start alike and equal, and begin to base itself on the older truth that all of them start at different points and unequal grades. It will be more effective because it will recognize the operation of this universal law of repeated embodiment through successive earth-lives and hence recognize that unrestricted competition in the schoolroom is a cruel and unjustifiable thing.
