Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions that follows:
Education is a device for helping a man to grow to his full stature. It enables him to realize his nature both mentally and spiritually and in that realization to become all that he has it in him to be. It is to the child what perfect gardening is to the tree, a help so to grow that it may develop its own personality.

He is able to see in it more beauty, more variety, more scope for his sympathy and understanding than he saw before. So far as the understanding of the universe is concerned while education diminishes certainly of what is, it widens his sense of the possibilities of what may be and transforms the world from humdrum scene of workshop, factory and office to a universe of mystery and treasure house of beauty.
