”Discussing education in the modern world and foretelling the end of the British Empire ("... Everybody who is in any vital contact with modern life & the modern world knows that the English upper class is isolated & dead ... If you travel in America, Germany, Russia, or China, you will find in each of these countries something happening which is of great moment for the future of civilization; to understand what is happening, you must know mathematical physics & industrial technique. Those who have been at English public schools are incapable of getting any grip of the modern world; this fact is going to make us lose our empire within the next 30 years, unless people like yourself can bring themselves to feel that knowledge is more important than membership of a snobbish clique ..."), 5 pages, envelope, 8vo, Carn Voel,
