Education : A True Sense of Knowledge

Write a summary of the following passage(Max5-6sentences).

What is education? It is much more than the knowledge we find in books. If a man is truly educated, he will have shown how to lead a happy and useful life and to be a good citizen of the country, in which he lives, more even than that a good citizen of the world. He will have learnt how to behave towards the other human being. By coming in touch with the active minds of his teacher and fellow students, he will have discovered what kind of mind himself has and will become proved to do what he knows to be right, and ashamed of doing what he knows to be wrong. The clever man is not always the best educated. A wise man is one, who is able to think clearly and then act in such a way that the best results follow. Knowledge is very useful, but knowledge by itself does not make a man wise. We need a special kind of education, which will trine us to use our knowledge wisely. For example, there has been a great increase in scientific knowledge during the present country but the wisdom of man has not increased at the same rate. Wisdom guides us to make the best use of our knowledge. Without wisdom, however much we know, we remain foolish.
