He emphasized that the purpose of education is to develop individual social consciousness while developing uniqueness. Education is not only a process of individualization, but also a process of integration, which refers to the coordination of individual uniqueness and social unity. Reid believes that the perceptual education of beauty is the most important, which is a way of education.

He believes that in a balanced education system, everyone's thought and art should be the most basic foundation of education, "because no other subject can give children a feeling of making images and concepts, feelings and ways of thinking interact and unify, but at the same time, it can also give them a knowledge of the laws of the universe and a habit or behavior of living in harmony with nature."
