Commonplace Book

'...For it is true that our schools are factories, with a machinery to unmake and remake, or fabricate, the souls of children, much in the way in which shoddy is manufactured. You may see a thousand rags, or garments, of a thousand shapes and colours, cast in to be boiled, bleached, pulled to pieces, combed and woven, and finally come out as a piece of cloth a thousand yards long of a uniform harmonious pattern, smooth, glossy, and respectable...'

from Afoot in England by WH Hudson (Chapter V)
