And what is a good citizen? Simply one who never says,
does or thinks anything that is unusual. Schools are
maintained in order to bring this uniformity up to the highest
possible point. A school is a hopper into which children are
heaved while they are still young and tender; therein they are
pressed into certain standard shapes and covered from head to
heels with official rubber-stamps.
