Excerpt from Ruskin: Revised and Other Papers on Education The primary confusion is as to the meaning of the word - Education. Does it mean the general course of the development of the human faculties from the time that the infant first blinks at the light, through childhood, through school life, through college life or apprenticeship, through manhood with its struggles - up to an old age of resignation and peace. Does it include the early influences of mother and nurse, the impulses to good or bad from teachers, playmates, schoolmates, the formation that the soul receives from lover, spouse, offspring, the hardening and the polishing that we get in struggles with our fellow men in the routine of life. If this is meant, it is obvious that propositions about education cannot be understood in the same sense, as when we apply the term to the course of school and college life - still less if we apply it to that Education which the State takes most especially under its charge - i.e. the elementary education of children between the ages of 5 and 13.
