Description

“The promiscuous over education of the masses has done more harm than good.”

Founder of the Berlitz Language Schools in 1878, in which only the target language is spoken from the first day of class. AQS on a 9.5 x 8 off-white album page. In full, “Education is a very poor substitute for intelligence. An educated donkey is still a donkey. The promiscuous over education of the masses has done more harm than good, making turbulent parasites out of elements that would have been useful laboreres and farmers.” Signed at the conclusion, “M. D. Berlitz, New York, April 3, 1911.” In fine condition, with light overall toning and a horizontal fold below signature, affecting nothing. R&R COA.
