Quote by Jacques Barzun

Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world, but to impart

Schools are not intended to moralize a wicked world, but to impart knowledge and develop intelligence, with only two social aims in mind: prepare to take on ones share in the worlds work, and perhaps in addition, lend a hand in improving society, after schooling is done. – Jacques Barzun
