When most people think of the word "education," they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers __26__ stuff "education. "

But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago, is not __27__ the stuffings of information into a person, but rather eliciting knowledge from him; it is the __28__ of what is in the mind.

"The most important part ," once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the __29__ Harvard philosopher, "is this instruction of a man in what he has inside of him."

And, as Edith Hamilton has reminded us, Socrates never said, "I know, learn from me." He said, rather, "Look into your own selvers and find the __30__ of truth that God has put into every heart, and that only you can kindle (点燃) to a __31__ "

In a dialogue, Socrates takes an ignorant slave boy, without a day of __32__, and proves to the amazed observers that the boy really "knows" geometry-because the principles of geometry are already in his mind, waiting to be called out.
