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.
In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think that by free education for all -
whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.
But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a large number of
people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and, in fact, work with hands
is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand
that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live
without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away
from our house, we should get terrible diseases in our own towns.
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 work suited to our brains and ability and,
secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of
one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

Smoking is not as common in American as in many other countries. Generally, Americans smoke
less than Europeans and much less than Asians. It is a practice that is becoming less and less socially
acceptable.
Smoking is prohibited in many places. It is not allowed in any public buildings, on any public
transportation ( including airplane flights within the United State), in shops, in movies theaters, schools,
and office buildings. The general rule is if you are indoors, then you probably are not allowed to smoke.
The exceptions are bars, nightclubs, and some restaurants. If a restaurant does allow smoking, it will only
be in an area that is designated for smokers. If you are with someone, even outdoors, it is polite to ask if
they mind before you start smoking.
The legal smoking age in America is 18. If you are buying cigarettes (or another tobacco product)
and you look young, the store clerk is required by law to ask you for proof of legal age. You should be
