But in its deepest sense education is not instrumentalist, that is to say, it is not to be justified outside of itself because it leads to the acquisition of formal skills or of certain desired psychological - social attributes. It must be respected in itself. Education is, thus, not a commodity to be acquired or possessed and then used; but a process of inestimable importance to individual and society, although it can and does have enormous use value.
