A well - to - do man sends his son to foreign lands

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.

When we talk of education in our present age, we think largely in terms of schools and colleges. The man who is well - to - do spends money in sending his son to foreign lands, in the belief that some wonderful process will take place there transforming a dull fellow into a genius. Yet the products of expensive schools and universities often fail to make good. On the other hand, the poor man who has struggled against adversity often earns the highest honour. The fact is that the true background of early education is the home. The home, the influence of the mother, the inspiring examples that are held before the child at an age while he is impressionable, are the true groundwork of character.
