ME: Undoubtedly. HIM: Ah, well there we are again! And these teachers  you hope they'll know something about the grammar, literature, history, geography, and morality which they're teaching her in her lessons? That's just a song and dance, my dear sir, a song and dance. If they grasped these matters well enough to teach them, they wouldn't be teaching them. ME: Why not?

HIM: It would be so easy for me to prove to you the uselessness of all those subjects in a world like ours. Did I say uselessness--perhaps I should have said danger. But for the moment I'll confine myself to one question: Won't one or two teachers be necessary?
