So terribly in our education does the ornamental override the useful! (Herbert Spencer, 1860)
This essay could certainly have been connected with the essay “How Much Education Is Really Necessary” since quality and quantity are coupled; yet quantity alone does not correlate with quality. Quality is the priority with quantity being ancillary. However, the current state of education has become the inverse of this where quantity that serves the bureaucracy is the primary measure and quality needed by individuals is subordinate.
