The three most important occupations in my considered view are neither governing nor engineering, nor business and money-making. The most important occupations are educating, homemaking and farming; the first because it is the educators of mankind who either humanize or fail to humanize both man and society; the second, because it creates the environment in which the young are either rightly or wrongly prepared for living like normal human beings, and the third because it (encourages) collaboration with Mother nature, for man’s co-operation with the living soil, the living plants, and the living animals of the Earth.
