It sounds like a catch 22 to me. "The art of utilizing knowledge" would be wisdom -something gained from education not the other way around. |

Hi Rach
I googled your topic and discovered that it is part of a quote:
"Education is the acquisition of the art of the utilization of knowledge. This an art very difficult to impart. We must beware of what I will call "inert ideas" that is to say, ideas that are merely received into the mind without being utilized or tested or thrown into fresh combinations."
Alfred North Whitehead, Aims of Education and other Essays, NY: MacMillan, 1924
The quote appears on this site: http://www.ntlf.com/html/lib/quotes.htm
The google results have other links including this one which I think is a good starting point for you:
Cheers
