To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
How is this to be done ?
You may preach unselfishness and communal devotion to the men and women of your generation as widely and as eloquently as you please ; but only those who happen to be unselfish and to have a capacity for communal devotion will respond to your appeal. So far as the rest of your audience are concerned, your eloquence will be so much waste of breath. Their education — the whole course of their training, whether at home or in school or elsewhere- — will have given a bias to... their nature which you will not be able to alter. A wave of emotion may carry them away for a time; but the bias of their nature will re-assert itself, and their short-lived enthusiasm will probably be followed by a re-action. If you want to proselytize the men and women of England, appeal to them as children, and appeal to them from their earliest years. It is your only hope.
What is education doing for the children of this country ? This is the great question which you, of all people, ought to be for ever asking yourselves.
