Note 51 — VI TRAINING IN LIBRARIANSHIP
Reading edition
“Education should be preparation for life. Its purpose is to prepare the immature human being for the life he is to lead when he becomes mature. It is to fit the child for the life he is to live when he shall be no longer a child. That is, to my mind, the purpose of education.” Dr. C. A. Mercier (The Principles of National Education, 1917.)
