I do not suggest that the cultural side of
education should be ignored. On the contrary, I
think, it is essential to the production of the sort of
adult who best fits the modern world. But I think
that what is important in cultural education should
be conveyed, at any rate in the early stages, by
methods far more attractive than those now usual.
History and Geography should be taught at first by
means of the cinema. When taught this way, they
will give pleasure; attention will be spontaneous
and therefore the impression will be less
temporary. In spite of reforming movements, there
is still among educators a feeling that what is
enjoyed without effort cannot have much
educational value. I would have children made
aware of the manners and customs of tribes and
nations utterly remote from their own. Education
conducted on these lines would do more than
many books to cure provincialism in space and
time and to make children realize than actual
human beings with actual feelings can be
outwardly very different from the people among
whom they live, but inwardly composed of the
same human material. A Zulu would not appear
strange, remote or savage but one like themselves.

education is needed to make man
a. admire his environment
b. suitable for modern civilization
c. appreciate other civilizations
d. appreciate ones heritage

not
a. imparting information about various
cultures
b. imparting information about remote tribes
c. making learning an enjoyable activity
d. using cinema as a method of teaching
88. The response of the learners to teaching
through cinema is
a. superficial b.enthusiastic
c. long-lasting d. absorbing
89. The expression to cure provincialism in space
and time means to get rid of
a. selfish opinion b. narrow views
c. obscure ideas d. regional feelings
90. One of the goals of education should be to
make children realize that
a. there is a unified system of human values
underneath cultural diversity
b. they must respect values of alien culture
c. regional cultures should not be ignored
d. human culture is diverse
91. The gravitational force on a mass of 1kg at
