lX. Summarize the following passage not exceeding one third of the length of
the passage and give a suitable title'. 4

There are parents in our country who consider the edueation of their
daughters a needless luxury: Daughters of such parents are married ofl in
hasie and packed off in a hurry to their husband's house with little knowledge
of themselves, and less of lile, and perhaps with some superficial practice
in music, which they forget after a few days of preoccupation with pots and
pans. Education is not an obstacle to a woman's marriage but an essential
condition of its fulfillment. lt is as much dangerous to allow an uneducated
woman to manage her home as to ask an untrained pilot to sit in the cockpit.
Both the plane and the home will crash. Education is necessary for woman
whether she remains single or'double', whether she drives her quill in office or
stitches a garment for her baby. lts primary aim must be to build a character,
to develop hel sensibility and sympathf, broaden her mind, and widen her
heart. ln the f'resent day sophisticated society, with a rapid development
of oppor.tunities at all levels of life, women will be called upon to take pafi
in public affairs. Calling upon educational institutions to turn women into
heroines and social workers, Mahatma Gandhi appealed to girl students in a
letter published in "Young lndia": "lf, after receiving this costly education, you
give me the slip and straightaway mdrry and disappear from the horizon, you
will have deceived the country. Not that you may not marry, but whether you
are married or unmarried, don't be slaves, but do what the country demands
of you". Gandhi has given life to the traditional idea of a woman and has set
before her other objectives than mere marriage. To qualify herself for public
Service, a Woman must develOp an acute sOcial ConSCiOuSneSS.
