“Place the lives of children in their formative years, despite the
convictions of their parents, under the intimate control of experts
appointed by the state, force them to attend schools where the higher
aspirations of humanity are crushed out, and where the mind is filled
with the materialism of the day, and it is difficult to see how even the
remnants of liberty can subsist.”
“A public-school system, if it means the providing of free
education for those who desire it, is a noteworthy and beneficent
achievement of modern times; but when once it becomes monopolistic it is
the most perfect instrument for tyranny which has yet been devised.
Freedom of thought in the middle ages was combated by the Inquisition,
but the modern method is far more effective.’ (1923)”
