memorised. Everything is learnt or acquired from this point of view. A student who
goes to Oxford learns practically the same things as of old but unlike the old
scholars he learns no lessons of poverty along with his education. He tastes
luxuries and contracts habits of self indulgences which do not all fit him well for
the struggles and hardships of life. An Oxford education makes a man a gentleman,
but he is hardly able to earn an honest six pence,Recently Oxford graduates have
been found breaking stones upon Australian roads. That was all they were found to
have been fit.
