Teaching, more than most other professions, has been transformed during the last hundred years from a small, highly skilled profession concerned with a minority of the population, to a large and important branch of public service. The profession has a great and honourable tradition, extending from the dawn of history until recent times, but any teacher in the modern world who allows himself to be inspired by the ideals of his predecessors is likely to be made sharply aware that it is not his function to teach what he thinks, but to instil such beliefs and prejudices as are thought useful by his employers.

Passage-II
The manager of a well-known firm was interviewing applicants for the post of a night watchman he had advertised. He was very hard to please and always found something wrong with each man—one had long hair, another small eyes, a third was too thin and another too tall. Among the applicants interviewed by the manager for the post was one Ram Kishan. He watched all this as he sat in the verandah patiently waiting for his turn to be interviewed. He resolved to be prepared for anything. When his turn came, all went well. The manager found nothing wrong with his appearance, size or constitution. He was so handsome, tall and strong that the manager was really pleased to see such a well-built young man. “Is your health sound?”, said the manager at last. “No sir”, replied Ram Kishan, “not quite. I suffer from one serious complaint.” “What’s that?” asked the manager sharply.
