And nothing so hastens this reactionary movement as the tendency, whether automatic or consciously stimulated, towards class (or caste) education--such as Dr.Eliot and so many other reformers now directly or indirectly encourage--usually under the cloak of industrial education.
The most anti-social aspects of capitalism, whether in its individualist or its collectivist form, are the grossly unequal educational and occupational privileges it gives the young.

An examination of the better positions now being obtained by men and women not yet past middle age will show, let us say, that ten times as many prizes are going to persons who were given good educational opportunities as to those who were not.

But as the children of those who can afford such opportunities are not a tenth as numerous as the children of the rest of the people, this would mean that the latter have only a _hundredth part_ of the former's opportunities.

Under this supposition, one tenth of the population secures ten elevenths of the positions for which a higher education is required.

As a matter of fact, the existing inequality of opportunity is undoubtedly very much greater than this, and the unequal distribution of opportunities is visibly and rapidly becoming still less equal.
