delight and communicates this to others. Education in the arts heightens man’s knowledgeand aesthetic experience and trains him in various modes of expression. This education inart, music and dance cannot be achieved through the medium of reading and writing, like theear cannot do what the eye is meant to do. If the objective of our education is totaldevelopment, art training should have the same status and importance as reading andwriting.
