Chapter 5 실력체크 1

Dining one evening with his friends, young Dr. Aidid, a lonely Hindu widower with three children, was interrupted by a call to the hospital where he served under the arrogant Dr. Callendar.

Aidid regretfully left his friends and arrived by cab at the hospital, only to find that Dr. Callendar had departed without leaving him a message. To add insult to injury, just as Aidid was about to leave, his cab was abruptly occupied by two English women who did not even bother to thank him.

Upset at this typical treatment at the hands of the English, Aidid dropped into a Hindu temple for a moment of peace. Seeing an Englishwoman there, he shouted at her, assuming she had not removed her shoes.

But the English woman, Mrs. Moore, was sensitive to Hindu custom, and had entered the temple barefooted. This pleased Dr. Aidid so much that he started a conversation with Mrs. Moore who had recently arrived in India and wanted to see as much of it as possible. Dr. Aidid was pleased to find that Mrs. Moore shared his low opinion of Dr. Callendar.

Both of them fell desperately in love with Isabel, but Bateman saw quickly that she had eyes only for Edward and devoted to his friend, he resigned himself to the role of a trusting friend.

He passed bitter moments, but he could not deny that Edward was worthy of his good fortune, and anxious that nothing should impair the friendship he so greatly valued, he took care never to disclose his own feelings. In six months the young couple were engaged.

In various ways schools are separated form the rest of the life of the community, and therefore there is the ever-present danger that education may become artificial and remote from the real things of everyday life.

When the purpose of a school is merely book-knowledge, the cleavage between school and life need not matter so much. In certain conditions a form of education which had little to do with the business of life could endure for centuries, as it did in China, where public officials were required to pass a test in archery long after firearms had become the established means of warfare.

Today, however, when the school undertakes the responsibility of preparing its students for the life out side its walls, the separation of the school from life, and the unreality of the subjects studied, are matters of grave concern. It becomes necessary to bring the world into the school and the school into the world.
