John Dewey’s says that existence, as well as the continuation of societies, depend exclusively upon the process of the cultural conveyance which occurs only via the transference of the customs of working, thinking, and feeling from the adults to the infants. Life cannot continue unless the fine patterns, expectations, ambitions, criteria, and opinions are delivered to the new comers. [1] The source of the acquired psychological and social composites is, simply, education.
On that account, the necessity of education for individuals, as well as societies, is substantiated. [2] “Supposing people leave this earth without their children, and return twenty years later, they will find them as same as cattle.” [3] This saying is accurate to a great extent. In the western north territories of India, it happened frequently that wolves kidnapped some children and slain most of them. They, however, pitied some and kept in safe.
As some men could identify the places of those children, they went there and could overcome the wolves and save the children. Later, they named them the wolves’ kids or wild kids since they followed the very same natures and habits of wolves. They also imitated the wolves’ cries, and ate like them, and torn their clothes, and confined themselves in isolated dark places, and behaved as if they were real wolves.
Nonsuccess was the result of every attempt of civilizing, educating, or teaching those children how to talk. In his ‘ Life in Indian Jungles, ’ Valentine Paul describes one of those wild children whom was put in an orphanage in February, 4, 1867: “That boy showed signs of idiocy; such as the lowness of the forehead, anxiety, and disorder. He often opened his mouth just like a wild animal. He used smelling, rather than tasting, for identifying things.
It was impossible to leave him without supervision. He used to use his legs and hands in moving. Few months later, he could use his legs only. He used to pause suddenly and walk unsoundly. He used to move his head swiftly to the right and left, and gaze on things as if he was waylaid. Until his demise, he could not change his way of life.” Accordingly, education is an acquired matter.
