Abstract

At every change in its evolution, education has been made to fit the needs of society. The oldest organized system of education is found in China. From earliest times education in some form has existed there, and for 3,000 years it has been a matter of national importance. It is now maintained on legitimate grounds that schools and colleges existed in China 4,000 years ago. These were not state institutions, for China never had a system of national schools, or more strictly speaking, schools supported by the state. For seven years in the schools of the old regime in China, the children memorized the Chinese classics, written in a language they could not understand without one word of interpretation.
