Meaning of “The highly educated person is the one who…”
Education is measured partly by consideration for other people, making social responsibility a test of learning rather than a separate accomplishment.
Where does it come from?
Character Building, “The Highest Education,” Project Gutenberg #60484. Washington defines education broadly enough to include considerate treatment of people facing poverty, disability or other misfortune; this sentence appears in that address’s discussion of gentleness and sympathy.
