Mark ran to take the boy’ s arm and led him back to his mother. “You gotta stay with Mom”, he said. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief. “Thanks!” she said. “You’ve got GREat timing!” Just being neighborly,” Mark said. As he rode home, he glanced at the poster near his seat in the bus. “Small ACTs of kindness add up.” Mark smiled and thought, “Maybe that’ s a good place to start.”

  An distressing childhood can lead to heart disease. What about current stresses? Longer workouts, threats of layoffs, collapsing pension funds. A study last year on the lancer examine more than 11,000 heart attack suffers from 52 countries. It found that in the year before their heart attacks. Patients had been under significantly more strains than some 30,000 healthy control subjects. Those strains came from work, family, financial troubles, depression in other causes. "Each of these fACTors individually was associated with increased risk," says Doctor Salim Yussef, Professor of medicine and candidates McMaster University and senior investigator on the study. Together, they accounted for 30% to overall heart attack risk. But people respond differently to high-pressure work situations, whether it produces hard problems seems to depend on whether you have a sensitive control over life or live at the mercy of circumstances and superiors. That was experiences of John Connell, a rock food Illinois laboratory manager, who suffered his first heart attack in 1996 at the age of 56. In the 2 years before, his mother and 2 of his children had suffered serious illnesses, and his job had been changed in a re-organization. "My life seemed completely out of control," he says, "I had no idea where I would end up." He ended up in hospital due to a block in his artery. 2 months later, he had a triple by-pass surgery. The second heart attack when he was 58, left his doctor shaking his head. "There's nothing more we can do for you," doctors told him.

  Section C

  When most people think of the word “education,” they think of a pupil as a sort of animate sausage casing. Into this empty casing, the teachers are supposed to stuff “education”. But genuine education, as Socrates knew more than two thousand years ago , is not inserting the stuffing of information into a person ,but rather eliciting knowledge from him. It is the drawing out of what is in the mind. “The most important part of education,” once wrote William Ernest Hocking, the distinguished Harvard philosopher, “is this instruction of a man in what he has inside him”. So many of the discussions and controversies about the content of education are futile and inconclusive because they are concerned with what should “go into “ the student rather than with what should be taken out, and how this can best be done. A college student who once said to me , after a lecture, “I spend so much time studying that I don’t have a chance to learn anything,” was briefly expressing his disSATisfACTion with the sausage-casing view of education.
