Excerpt from The Privilege of Education: A History of Its Extension

History shows that educational privilege has depended upon the conception that some natures and some pursuits have been thought much more worthy than others. Nature, says Aristotle, endeavors to make the bodies of free men and slaves diflerent; the latter strong for necessary use; the former erect and useless for such operations, but useful for political life. It is evident, then, that by nature some men are free, others slaves, and that in the case of the lat ter, slavery is both beneficial and just. In struction is plainly powerless to turn the mass of men to nobility and goodness. For it is not in their nature to be guided by reverence, but by fear, nor to abstain from low things because they are disgraceful, but because they entail pun ishment.
