To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Certain advantages and dangers in school education may be noted in passing. Advantages: (a) From the point of view of the state, it is a legiti- mate form of self-preservation, (b) Provision is made against the imperfection or contingency of private effort, (c) It provides a more complete social medium for the development of independence, emulation, leadership, than purely indi- vidual or private instruction, (d) It supplies the individual's first experience of public opinion and the reality of... social judgment, justice, order, co-operation, fair play, etc. Dangers: (a) The danger that individuality may be submerged. (b) The danger in school education from overpressure in a broad sense, of quan- tity versus quality, (c) The danger of the school's becoming an aggressor against the legitimate function of other institutions — functions, indeed, which only the latter can adequately perform. The school is a miniature community. The education which goes on in the school partakes of the same general social character of all education.
