Primitive society shows us education in its most naive form. Life is devoid of all complexity - that complexity that distinguishes the finest types of cultures. We find that the elements that make up life, and which determine the goal of raising an individual, are naive in nature and few in number. We find that the individual is often influenced unconsciously by the means put in place to help him or force him to submit to public demands, which are the same conditions to which he must submit in order to be able to live with his brothers. When such methods are applied consciously, they become direct in their effect and general in nature.

And society - therefore, the value of studying education among primitive peoples, all the way to its study, is maximized
