Russell highlights the pivotal role of a teacher in nurturing a sense of humanity among their students.
A teacher should transcend personal biases of nationality, religion, and culture, focusing instead on cultivating an understanding of right and wrong.
Prioritizing the welfare of humanity over narrow interests, a teacher should inspire compassion and empathy, rather than instilling envy, pride, or cruelty towards other nations and peoples.
By transforming cruelty into kindness, Russell distinguishes a true teacher from a mere propagandist.
The functions of a teacher extend beyond disseminating knowledge; they encompass the cultivation of equality, service to mankind, and the promotion of education as a means of progress.
