Note :
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it:
There are two problems which cause great worry to our
educationists. The problem of religious and moral instruction in a
land of many faiths and the problem arising out of a large variety
of languages.
Taking up the education of children, we see that they should
be trained to love one another to be kind and helpful to all, to be
tender to the lower animals and to observe and think right. The task
of teaching them how to read and write and to count and calculate is
important, but it should not make us lose sight of the right way. For
this, it is necessary to call into aid, culture, tradition and religion. But
in our country, we have, in the same school, to look after boys and
girls born in different faiths and belonging to families that live diverse
ways of life and follow different forms of worship associated with
different denominations of religion. It will not do to tread the easy
path of evading the difficulty by attending solely to physical culture
and intellectual education. We have to evolve a suitable technique and
method for serving the spiritual needs of school children professing
different faiths. We should thereby promote an atmosphere of mutual
respect a fuller understanding and helpful co-operation among the
different communities in our society. Again we must remain one
people and we have therefore to give basic training in our schools to
speak and understanding more languages than one and to appreciate
and respect the different religions prevailing in India. It is not right
for us in India to be dissuaded from this by considerations as to
overtaking the young mind. What is necessary must be done. And it
is not in fact too great a burden.

(ii) Summary
In a land of many faiths, there are two big problems before our educationists. One is the problem of religious and moral instruction and the other problem arises out of a large variety of languages. We should teach our children to love one another, to be kind and helpful and to be tender to animals. They should not only be provided formal education but also mould their personality in the right way. We should promote mutual respect, fuller understanding, and cooperation among different communities. We should train our children to speak and understand more languages and to appreciate and respect other religions. Imposition will be futile. No single way of life or worship should be promoted.
