Excerpt from The Student's Guide The self-realization theory, on the other hand, implies that education is to be a process in which the possibilities of the Self are to be developed. But these possibilities are for evil as well as for good. The purpose of education must be to foster the good potentialities of the self, and to stunt the-evil. It may be said that to do this is to cramp the freedom of the individual soul, and it is the perception of this danger that gives to the self-expression view its power over the public mind. But those who favour self-realization do not propose to impose' upon the self from without something entirely foreign to its nature. All that is proposed is to make of the self the best of which it is capable, by develop ing and fostering those qualities in it that make for good, while repressing those that make for evil.
