On reading and schooling...................

     But education does not stop with schooling, nor does the
responsibility for the ultimate educational fate of each of us
rest entirely on the school system.  Everyone can and must
decide for himself whether he is satisfied with the education
he got, or is now getting if he is still in school.  If he is not
satisfied, it is up to him to do something about it.  With
schools as they are, more schooling is hardly the remedy.
One way out - perhaps the only one available to most people -
is to learn to read better, and then, by reading better, to learn
more of what can be learned through reading.
