Modern optics looks like a quickly growing tree with its numerous branches rushed upwards and its branched top (Fig. 1) . According to this analogy the problems of the optics education are to interest young talented people in a ripe fruit of that tree, to help them reach the low branches of the tree and to show them the way to the top. There areplenty of ways leading to the fruit-bearing top, and every teacher who works hard in this or that field of optics has his optimal algorithm of reaching the top.
