Dr. Leete argues
that in these terrible social conditions, the generosity and
kindness that religion teaches was impossible to apply since
doing so would "reduce to poverty those who should practice
them, laying down laws of conduct which the law of self-preservation
compelled men to break." (Bellamy 181) |

Dr. Leete insists
that education was not only for the rich since the purpose of
education was to enrich the individual's appreciation of and
contributions to culture.
| |
If indeed we
could not afford to educate everybody, we should choose the coarsest
and dullest by nature, rather than the brightest, to receive
the education that we could give. The naturally refined and intellectual
can better dispense with the aids to culture than those less
fortunate in natural endowments. (Bellamy 144) |
By describing an ideal education in this way, Bellamy demonstrates
his belief that education not only makes a person more economically
productive, but socially better and even more able to experience
a complete, satisfying life. |
