To prepare us for complete living is the function which education has to discharge. --H. Spenser.
Syn: Education, Instruction, Teaching, Training, Breeding.
Usage: Education, properly a drawing forth, implies not so much the communication of knowledge as the discipline of the intellect, the establishment of the principles, and the regulation of the heart. Instruction is that part of education which furnishes the mind with knowledge. Teaching is the same, being simply more familiar. It is also applied to practice; as, teaching to speak a language; teaching a dog to do tricks. Training is a department of education in which the chief element is exercise or practice for the purpose of imparting facility in any physical or mental operation. Breeding commonly relates to the manners and outward conduct. [1913 Webster]

Education
There is little trace among the Hebrews in earlier times ofeducation in any other subjects than the law. The wisdomtherefore and instruction, of which so much is said in the bookof Proverbs, are to be understood chiefly of moral andreligious discipline, imparted, according to the direction ofthe law, by the teaching and under the example of parents. (butsolomon himself wrote treatises on several scientific subjects,which must have been studied in those days.) In later times theprophecies and comments on them, as well as on the earlierScriptures, together with other subjects, were studied. Parentswere required to teach their children some trade. (girls alsowent to schools, and women generally among the jews weretreated with greater equality to men than in any other ancientnation.) Previous to the captivity, the chief depositaries oflearning were the schools or colleges, from which in most casesproceeded that succession of public teachers who at varioustimes endeavored to reform the moral and religious conduct ofboth rulers and people. Besides the prophetical schoolsinstruction was given by the priests in the temple andelsewhere. [See [463]Schools]
Three Cups of Tea: One Man's Mission to Promote Peace . . . One School at a Time
by Greg Mortenson
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
The astonishing, uplifting story of a real-life Indiana Jones and his humanitarian campaign to use education to combat terrorism in the TalibanÂ’s backyard
Anyone who despairs of the individual’s power to change lives has to read the story of Greg Mortenson, a homeless mountaineer who, following a 1993 climb of Pakistan’s treacherous K2, was inspired by a chance encounter with impoverished mountain villagers and promised to build them a school. Over the next decade he built fifty-five schools—especially for girls—that offer a balanced education in one of the most isolated and dangerous regions on earth. As it chronicles Mortenson’s quest, which has brought him into conflict with both enraged Islamists and uncomprehending Americans, Three Cups of Tea combines adventure with a celebration of the humanitarian spirit.
