Seems to me that Wilson quote was an accusation, a condemnation of the education system... not a statement of his preference.VMI77 wrote:They try to keep those influences hidden these days.“We want one class of persons to have a liberal education, and we want another class of persons, a very much larger class of necessity in every society, to forgo the privilege of a liberal education and fit themselves to perform specific difficult manual tasks.”
― Woodrow Wilson
I'm not a Wilson fan, but, seemed unfair to him to quote that out of context.
