https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/ts-eliot-summed-modern-education-2-paragraphs/ <https://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/ts-eliot-summed-modern-education-2-paragraphs/>
...or perhaps it would be preferable on a research list for you to provide a citation/link to the original work?
kind regards
David
