A zipper has three parts: 1 There are cozens of metat or plastic nooks ( called teeth ) in two rows 2 These are fastened to lwo strips of cloth The cictn strips are flexible They bend easily 3 A fastener slides along and fastens the hocks together When it slides the other way, it takes the hooks apart -._

Education is not an end, but a means to an end In other words, we do not educate

children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education

which will really prepare children for life

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society
