"Only as we have grasped the necessity of more fundamental and persistent modes of tuition can we make sure of placing the scholastic methods in their true context." In this sentence, I am quite confused with the meaning of “necessity”, because it can refer to the fact that something must happen or exist and the importance of something. I do not know whether it refers to the unavoidability or the importance, which are different from each other. Moreover, I cannot understand what the mode of tuition is and whether tuition refers to the education or not?
