Abstract
The purpose of education, said Ushinsky, is not only to develop man's mind and give him a certain store of knowledge, but also to fire him with a desire for serious work, without which life can be neither worthwhile nor happy. Fighting for close contact between the school and the people, that finest of Russian teachers maintained that man can appreciate serious work only if he has been taught to take a serious view of life at an early age. "It is difficult," he wrote, "to imagine anything more opposed to the aim of true education than the light frivolous approach to study and even to education generally assumed by some teachers wishing to sugar-coat the bitter pill of science for children."
