72:4.1 The [[educational]] [[system]] of this [[nation]] is [[compulsory]] and coeducational in the precollege schools that the student attends from the ages of five to eighteen. These schools are vastly [[different]] from those of [[Urantia]]. There are no classrooms, only one [[study]] is pursued at a time, and after the first three years all [[pupils]] become assistant [[teachers]], instructing those below them. [[Books]] are used only to secure [[information]] that will assist in solving the [[problems]] arising in the school shops and on the school farms. Much of the furniture used on the [[continent]] and the many [[mechanical]] contrivances—this is a great age of [[invention]] and mechanization—are produced in these shops. Adjacent to each shop is a working [[library]] where the [[student]] may consult the [[necessary]] [[reference]] [[books]]. [[Agriculture]] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horticulture horticulture] are also taught throughout the entire [[educational]] period on the extensive farms adjoining every local school.
72:4.2 The feeble-minded are [[trained]] only in [[agriculture]] and [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_husbandry animal husbandry], and are committed for life to special custodial colonies where they are [[segregated]] by [[sex]] to prevent [[parenthood]], which is denied all subnormals. These restrictive [[measures]] have been in operation for seventy-five years; the commitment [[decrees]] are handed down by the [[parental]] [[courts]].
72:4.3 Everyone takes one month's [[vacation]] each year. The precollege schools are conducted for nine months out of the year of ten, the [[vacation]] being spent with [[parents]] or [[friends]] in [[travel]]. This [[travel]] is a part of the adult-[[education]] program and is continued throughout a lifetime, the funds for meeting such expenses being accumulated by the same [[methods]] as those employed in old-age insurance.
72:4.4 One quarter of the school time is [[devoted]] to [[play]]—[[competitive]] [[athletics]]—the [[pupils]] progressing in these contests from the local, through the state and regional, and on to the national trials of [[skill]] and prowess. Likewise, the [[oratorical]] and [[musical]] contests, as well as those in [[science]] and [[philosophy]], occupy the [[attention]] of [[students]] from the lower social divisions on up to the contests for national [[honors]].
72:4.5 The school [[government]] is a replica of the [[national]] government with its three correlated branches, the [[teaching]] staff [[functioning]] as the third or advisory [[legislative]] division. The chief object of [[education]] on this continent is to make every [[pupil]] a self-supporting [[citizen]].
72:4.6 Every child [[graduating]] from the precollege school [[system]] at eighteen is a skilled [[artisan]]. Then begins the [[study]] of [[books]] and the pursuit of special [[knowledge]], either in the adult schools or in the colleges. When a brilliant student completes his work ahead of schedule, he is granted an award of time and means wherewith he may [[execute]] some pet project of his own devising. The entire [[educational]] system is designed to adequately [[train]] the [[individual]].
