At what age should school begin? The answer must depend upon the home, its topography rather than
t
upon its oral or psychological character. A child who lives on a farm in the countryside can happily and
a
profitably spend his time wandering about, watching animals, reaping, thrashing etc. until the time comes
r
when it is necessary to begin formal instruction. But for the urban child whose parents live in a cramped
apartment, it is quite otherwise. For him, school is desirable as an escape into freedom-freedom of movement,
freedom of noise and freedom of companionship.

d

1) drawing maps
3) shooting photographs

4) description of topics

e e
Formal instruction here implies
.
w t
1) school discipline 2) rigid code

3) regular education at school

4) disciplined conduct at school
n e
1) a child in a countryside need not have formal instruction
a .
2) an urban child likes freedom of all kinds
3) a countryside child is benefitted by free environment
b h
4) an urban child must begin formal instruction late
t i
99.
a
The author thinks that the problem as to when the children should go to school depends rather on the
1) psychological character of home
r
2) moral character of home
u p
4) spiritual character of home
a d
3) topographical character of home

decentralization of the means of production (economic power). According to him, largescale

industrialism is at the centralization of political power in few hands. It is in the nature of large-scale
industries to centralize economic power in the hands of a few individuals. Under capitalism this power
comes to be concentrated in the hands of individual capitalists and under socialism, it is arrogated by
managers, technocrats and bureaucrats.
