Men are allowed only the precise amount of culture which is compatible with the interests of gain; but that amount, at least, is expected from them. MEN ARE ALLOWED ONLY THE PRECISE AMOUNT OF CULTURE WHICH IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE INTEREST OF GAIN BUT THAT AMOUNT AT LEAST IS EXPECTED FROM THEM
 to become 'current'; to develop him so that his particular degree of knowledge and science may yield him the greatest possible amount of happiness and pecuniary gain. Every one must be able to form some sort of estimate of himself; he must know how much he may reasonably expect from life. The 'bond between intelligence and property' which this point of view postulates has almost the force of a moral principle. In this quarter all culture is loathed which isolates, which sets goals beyond gold and gain, and which requires time: it is customary to dispose of such eccentric tendencies in education as systems of 'Higher Egotism,' or of 'Immoral Culture--Epicureanism.' According to the morality reigning here, the demands are quite different; what is required above all is 'rapid education,' so that a money-earning creature may be produced with all speed; there is even a desire to make this education so thorough that a creature may be reared that will be able to earn a _great deal_ of money. AR AS HIS NATURE WILL ALLOW TO BECOME CURRENT TO DEVELOP HIM SO THAT HIS PARTICULAR DEGREE OF KNOWLEDGE AND SCIENCE MAY YIELD HIM THE GREATEST POSSIBLE AMOUNT OF HAPPINESS AND PECUNIARY GAIN EVERY ONE MUST BE ABLE TO FORM SOME SORT OF ESTIMATE OF HIMSELF HE MUST KNOW HOW MUCH HE MAY REASONABLY EXPECT FROM LIFE THE BOND BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND PROPERTY WHICH THIS POINT OF VIEW POSTULATES HAS ALMOST THE FORCE OF A MORAL PRINCIPLE IN THIS QUARTER ALL CULTURE IS LOATHED WHICH ISOLATES WHICH SETS GOALS BEYOND GOLD AND GAIN AND WHICH REQUIRES TIME IT IS CUSTOMARY TO DISPOSE OF SUCH ECCENTRIC TENDENCIES AND EDUCATION AS SYSTEMS OF HIGHER EGOTISM OR OF IMMORAL CULTURE EPICUREANISM ACCORDING TO THE MORALITY REIGNING HERE THE DEMANDS ARE QUITE DIFFERENT WHAT IS REQUIRED ABOVE ALL IS RAPID EDUCATION SO THAT A MONEY EARNING CREATURE MAY BE PRODUCED WITH ALL SPEED THERE IS EVEN A DESIRE TO MAKE THIS EDUCATION SO THOROUGH THAT A CREATURE MAY BE REARED THAT WILL BE ABLE TO EARN A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY
