70 SOCIAL SCIENTIST
rism, socialism and democracy are not certain doctrines to be preached and propagated from platforms only to the general public. On the contrary these are philosophies to be really^practised in day-to-day lives of the individuals* Unless this is so, holding elections, enacting the so-called egalitarian legislations, nationalizing banks, starting public enterprises and giving slogans of ^uit poverty' cut no ice. What is required on the part of the leadership and masses is/ a sense of dedication and sacrifice for this noble cause. If work-experience succeeds in inculcating these virtues^ the purpose of education, in its true sense, shall be achieved, otherwise it would be merely a repetition of the programmes of Basic Education which received its due burial at the time of its birth.
